Glossier launches its first ever eyeshadow
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Back in January, Glossier announced that Beyoncé was wearing a brand new, top-secret product on the Grammys red carpet sending make-up fans into a frenzy guessing what it could be.
Fast forward to another awards ceremony, the Oscars, and the Insta-famous beauty brand confirmed that all our suspicions were correct by using the event to launch its latest innovation – Lidstar, it’s first ever eyeshadow.
Worn by several celebrities including Allison Janney, Greta Gerwig, Tracee Ellis Ross, Maya Rudolph and Salma Hayek, it has already been given the A-list seal of approval and we can confirm that the hype is very much deserved.
Available in six different shades ranging from an opalescent cream (Moon), baby pink (Slip) and soft smoky lavender (Lily) to three deeper and more intense colours like cool red copper (Cub), smoky taupe (Fawn) and golden olive (Herb).
A shimmery cream eyeshadow, whichever colour you choose Lidstar applies super-easily with a doe foot applicator out of packaging that resembles a science test tube.
And, while you can blend it in using a fluffy brush, it’s just as easy to swipe straight onto the lids and smudge around with your fingers.
The formula itself is beautifully glowy and is made with ultra-fine reflective pearls to give the pigment a subtle sheen. Even better, it lasts an impressive 12 hours and, unlike other glossy formulas, doesn’t crease.
Glossier’s latest offering and officially their first foray into eye make-up, Lidstar is available to buy now for £15 each, or you can save £5 by picking up two for £25.
