One and Done Eyeshadows
While I love to create glamorous eye looks with my eyeshadow palettes, I don’t typically have the time for all that blending and perfecting.
Enter the one and done eyeshadow. One and done eyeshadows are single eyeshadows that make it look like you spent lots of time and effort on your makeup, when you actually spent seconds sweeping one shade across your eyelids.
Having tried a lot of single eyeshadows, I’ve round up a list of the best one and done eyeshadows for creating a beautiful eye look with little to no time or effort! Keep reading for the best single eyeshadows that you need in your makeup bag…
Hourglass Scattered Light Glitter Shadow
This eyeshadow is the perfect grown-up approach to sparkle. Adding a hint of color, this eyeshadow gives a fine, glittery finish that elevates eye makeup, without the uncomfortable chunks of glitter usually found in these products. Using either a brush or your finger, application is easy. Plus, after its applied, you don’t have to worry about the shadow creasing, fading away, or migrating to other parts of your face.
Ciaté London Marbled Metals Eyeshadow
Get all the sparkle and more with this glittery eyeshadow from Ciaté. This eyeshadow has reflective pigments incorporated throughout the light pink base which creates the most eye-catching look on the lids. While the eyeshadow’s color and sparkle may be extreme, the application process is the opposite— simply tap the shadow on your lids with your finger, and you’ll have a high glam look in no time!
Colourpop Super Shock Shadow
With this cream to powder eyeshadow, you can create a sparkly, colorful eye look with hardly any time or blending. Whether you opt for a brush or use your finger, applying this eyeshadow is the perfect way to level up your makeup in a time crunch.
Glossier Lidstar Shimmer Cream Eyeshadow
No eyeshadow encapsulates effortless like this one from Glossier. To get a shimmery, sheer colored eye look, all you have to do is swipe the shadow on your lids and tap the product. It’s as simple as that!
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil
Packaged like a crayon, applying this shimmery, colorful eyeshadow is easy. The formula is just creamy enough, allowing the shadow to glide smoothly on the lids and blend seamlessly into place. However, it isn’t too creamy to where it won’t stay put.
Kaja Eye Bento Bouncy Eyeshadow Trio
Ok I’m breaking the rules here since this shadow has three shades, but I had to mention this one! Besides, I usually only ever wear the first, subtle pink shade, Champagne Cream. Using my finger to apply this one shade on my eyelids, I can achieve an eye look with more texture and dimension than most palettes provide after way more steps.
