Jelly eyeshadow isn’t something we talk about often, but that’s totally a mistake because it’s an item that would make an awesome beauty staple.
Unlike powder and gloss shadows, jellies are creamy, smooth, and super versatile without being too sticky or messy.
In fact, they’re absolutely perfect for the oh-so-popular glossy lids look that’s been taking over the last few summers.
Not sure if that’s your thing? Please let us convince you! Here are 3 eyeshadow jellies good enough to make you finally fall in love with glossy lids.
Morphe Jelly Eye Shimmer, $10
A lot of us avoid glittery products because they can come off a bit childish. However, this gel eye shimmer from Morphe puts a grown, sophisticated, and fresh spin on glitter.
This weightless, buildable formula gives your eyes a ultra-moisturized look with a gentle sparkle finish.
Unlike other glossy shadows, this gel pot is non-sticky, fast-drying, and can be used as a creamy, shimmery topcoat for your super dry powder eyeshadows.
Karla Cosmetics Shadow Potion, $25
Rainbow or kaleidoscopic makeup looks are complicated because they usually involve multiple colors, multiple products, and some serious, guru-level blending. However, this Shadow Potion eye jelly from Karla Cosmetics has all the multicolor goodness in one jar.
With just a few gentle and wide strokes with your best flat eyeshadow brush, this colorful and vibrant gel turns into a smoky (but moisturized!) array of color right on your eyelid.
ColourPop JellyMuch Shadow, $10
No pun, but ColourPop really made the color pop in these highly pigmented, longwear eye jellies. This color in particular, close to me, has a baby pink base that is lightly highlighted with violet shimmer.
So basically, it’s a soft champagne color with a little extra drama!
The best part about this shadow is that it has all the benefits of a powder shadow, but none of the drawbacks. That means no crease, no fallout, and no excessive blending. Nice, huh?
