Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Kitten | Review & Swatches

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Kitten is a perfect eyeshadow pick for summer. Described as a "shimmering vibrant nude pink"– Kitten embodies a warm day of summer. The rich color, suspended in a translucent base, offers a beautiful high-shimmer sheen, but there are no chunks of glitter, and no fallout. The formula is lightweight, buildable and long-wearing. It can be sheered-out for a light wash of color, or built up for a bolder nighttime look.
The doe foot applicator is large enough to effectively sweep across the lid, and it is very soft and flocked– making it very comfortable on the skin. It glides across the skin effortlessly, deposits color evenly and is so easy to use.

The formula itself is impressively long-wearing, transfer and crease-proof, and it doesn't flake. It is light and moist when it is first applied to the skin, but it does dry and set very quickly. I can wear it all day without a primer, but I do not have oily eyelids, therefore your wear-time may vary, and you may prefer to use a primer.
According to Stila,

A long-wearing, high-shimmer liquid eyeshadow. Glisten and gleam with Stila’s new Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow—rich, beautiful color with a high shimmer sheen, minus the glitter.

The pearl-packed translucent base offers versatile wear. Apply a sheer layer for daytime, or add layers for nighttime drama. This uniquely lightweight, water-infused texture gives a barely-there, refreshing feel and smooth color laydown. The non-tacky, non-transfer, adhesive base means minimal fallout—no primer needed.

  5. Nice swatches! I have this shade on my list to buy but I already have several of this type of eye shadow. Do I really need another one? Yeah, I think that we all know the answer to that.

    1. Thanks, Erika! You probably don't need another one, but I think that you would really love this one and I suspect that you would use it a lot!

  6. Kitten was my favorite Stila color. I wore the powder eyeshadow all the time. I probably went through 4 of them. This liquid one looks darker but still pretty.

  8. Gosh I remember when Kitten first came out as a single powder eyeshadow--it was THE big thing and everyone was gaga over it. It has morphed into so many Stila products.
