LOVED FOR: Believe it or not, this glittery shadow dries down to a powder finish.

USERS SAID: "The pigment is so beautiful, and I love how fast it dries into a powder feel. I was really worried it would be wet for ages or stop me from being able to apply eyeliner, but I had no problem whatsoever."

WHAT IT DOES: A transparent gel base keeps these flecks of glitter in place wherever you apply them—with zero fallout.

USERS SAID: "It's buildable and it dries down really well. I often have issues with smudging or flaking with similar products, and the glitter gelee does none of that."

LOVED FOR: This weightless cream texture is buildable, allowing for everything from a slight shimmer to major payout as you layer on.

ABOUT THE BRAND: Lemonhead LA founder teamed up to create an exclusive shade for ultra-luxe beauty depot, Violet Grey, inspired by Violet Grey's Los Angeles boutique on Melrose Place.

USERS SAID: "I absolutely love these stunning colors. I purchased all three. I use them as an eyeliner, a highlighter, and just by themselves. Another must from Laura!"

LOVED FOR: This liquid eye color dries down to be transfer-proof yet still retains that wet look.

HELPFUL TIP: This cream is perfect for adding shine to more than just your eyes—mix Strobe Cream with your favorite liquid or cream foundation for an all-over natural glow. 

WHAT IT DOES: Not glittery or over the top, this cream will give you a "lit from within" look without any tell-tale signs.
