Reviewing Glossier Lidstar in lilly

Hey everyone! You know I'm always on the hunt for those perfect makeup products that make life easier and add a little sparkle, and my recent dive into the Glossier Lidstar in Lilly definitely delivered. After my initial review, I wanted to share some deeper insights and tips I've picked up from using it almost daily! Let's talk about application first. The original review mentioned "easy no mess application," and I can't stress enough how true that is, largely thanks to its clever brush tip. Unlike some liquid or cream eyeshadows where you need to get your fingers involved or use a separate brush, this applicator allows for such precise and smooth laying down of product. For a sheer wash of that gorgeous color, I just dot it directly onto my lid and gently blend with my ring finger or a fluffy brush. If I'm aiming for maximum impact, I apply a slightly thicker layer and let it sit for a few seconds before blending sparingly. It’s truly foolproof, making it a dream for those "eyeshadow for beginners" moments or when you're rushing out the door. Now, about that sparkle! The OCR mentioned "so so glittery," and yes, it truly is a shimmering delight. The "Lilly" shade itself is a beautiful, ethereal lilac with a fine, almost wet-looking glitter. It's not chunky or gritty, which is a huge plus for comfort. It catches the light beautifully, making your eyes look brighter and more awake. What I love is how buildable it is; you can go from a subtle twinkle to a full-on glittery eyelid just by layering. For an extra pop, I sometimes tap a tiny bit onto the center of my lid after a matte eyeshadow look – instant glam! One point I wanted to expand on from the initial "Cons" list was being careful not to rub your eyes. It's true, if you're prone to rubbing, this product (like many cream eyeshadows) can transfer a bit. My personal trick to minimize this is to always apply a thin layer of eyeshadow primer beforehand, especially if your eyelids tend to be a bit oily. Once applied, I let it fully dry down for a minute or two before touching it. You can also lightly dust a translucent setting powder over the edges if you're really worried about longevity for an all-day event. This helps lock it in place without dulling the shimmer too much. For me, Glossier Lidstar in Lilly has become a staple for quick, impactful eye makeup. It’s perfect for adding a touch of whimsical color to a casual outfit, or for elevating a simple winged liner look. Knowing it's also cruelty-free just makes me love it even more. If you're looking for an "easy apply" cream eyeshadow that brings serious glitter and a stunning "lilac" hue without the fuss, this one is absolutely worth exploring! It's transformed my daily routine and I think you'll adore it too.
