A stardust gold shimmer eyeshadow, a shaker for a brush - BeautyHack editors have selected the finest delicate shimmers to add radiance to summer eye makeup.
Dazzleshadow, Oh So Guilty, M. A. C
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Asya Zabavskaya
I fell in love with this tool for its versatility and incredible golden shimmer - in rare cases it is delicate. I apply with fingertips in one layer to refresh the daytime look, and brush in two layers to create bright, evening smoky eyes.
I tried to apply them as a highlighter under the eyebrow and on the cheekbones - it turned out to be a very light glow, which perfectly complemented the tan.
The product does not roll off (even if you have oily skin of the eyelids) and does not peel off during the day.
Price: 1 720 rub.
Shadow Ombre Illusion, 81 Fantasme, Chanel
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
Opening the lid, you see an explosion of sparkles on a crisp white crumbly base. But in practice, the shadows are not so shimmery, but on the contrary - very delicate, especially if you distribute them with your fingertips.
And if you apply them to the base in several layers, you get a radiance that is "visible from space." A great tool for summer parties and a light shine in a daytime look!
Price: about 2,000 rubles.
Shadow pencil Sexy Eyeshadow Pencil Sunset Party, Romanovamakeup
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
Olya Romanova is adored by the entire editorial staff of BeautyHack (and not only us) for her impeccable shadows and lipsticks in pencil format. The Sunset Party shade in the stick looks rich bronze, but it turns into a light shimmering sandy haze over the centuries - for which they have already got into a vacation cosmetic bag! I will apply solo during the day and blend easily throughout the moving eyelid in the evening as a base for classic dark shadows.
The durability, like all brand products, is excellent. The shadows stay on the eyelids all day (and I'm not exaggerating!).
Price: 1 270 rub.
Eyeshadow, Midnight Rodeo, Urban Decay
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
I opened the package and thought - the brand made shadows from real stardust! Midnight Rodeo has a very delicate but shimmery shimmer.
The product has a very soft texture, due to which it is well shaded. If you want to add shimmer, just apply the eyeshadow in two layers - they do not roll and hold well on the eyelids. For a delicate shine, apply in one.
Price: 1 600 rub.
Double Shadows They're real! Duo Eyeshadow Blender, Benefit
Tested by BeautyHack Editor Natalia Kapitsa
I do not have tender feelings for decorative cosmetics, but I have a difficult relationship with shadows: firstly, oily skin quickly "eats" them, and secondly, beautifully applying them on the eyelids is an impossible mission for me.
Benefit took care of inept makeup artists like me with Naughty Natural The're real. With this tool, you can create makeup with a smooth transition from lighter to darker shades in just one move!
The main feature of the product is a “shaker” instead of a brush. You pass it over the shadows, then over the upper eyelid - the makeup is ready! But these are not all the advantages of the product - the shadows are very persistent, and there are no aggressive components in the composition that can irritate sensitive eyes.
Price: 1 970 rub.
Palette Mineral Sugar Blend Eyes, 02 Orange Pound, Skinfood
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
There have been a lot of trips in my schedule lately (and there will be more), so a compact universal palette was vital.
And there must be shadows with a light shimmer in it - I can't imagine daytime makeup without shining shades: I apply them to the corner of the eye, to the center of the eyelid, or layer them for evening looks.
You can find everything in this palette of the Korean brand - matte shades, the perfect color for painting over the crease of the eyelid and that very delicate shimmer. It has a golden undertone, but it does not look pretentious on the eyelids, especially if you blend the pigment well with a fluffy brush.
The eyeshadow has a silky texture and is easy to layer. But for the durability and intensity of the pigments, it is better to apply to the base.
Price: about 1 200 rubles.
Mineral melting shadows Mineral Melting Ice, Skinfood
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Daria Mironova
I really love the care products of Korean brands, but I was not familiar with decorative cosmetics. These shadows in a stick have become a real lifesaver for me.
They have convenient packaging and soft texture - you can make eye makeup in two movements. The tool is very convenient to take with you on trips and keep in your daily cosmetic bag - apply shadows on the entire movable eyelid directly with the stick, blend with your fingertips, add a little more pigment to the inner corner of the eye - a beautiful shimmering makeup is ready!
The shade of dusty rose has become a great addition to my daily makeup - a light and restrained look has its own “zest” for every day.

Eyeshadow palette Goddess, Kiss Professional
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Daria Mironova
I have a particular weakness for palettes with universal shades - I use them every day when I do natural makeup. This palette also conquered with a variety of shades - I don't mind experimenting in evening looks.
Of the 12 shades of the palette, five are with a shimmer, but the sparkles in them are not large, but very delicate. When I want to achieve a light shine on my eyes, I apply the product on a matte primer and distribute the Artemis shade over the moving eyelid.
The eyeshadow works well and blends easily without rolling or crumbling for the rest of the day. A nice bonus - a compact brush included, which will replace a full-fledged beauty arsenal on trips (and there will be a lot of them this summer!).

Mineral Melting Ice - Cream Shadow, 02 Cherry Velvet, Skinfood
Tested by BeautyHack editor Julia Kozoliy
At the Korean brand Skinfood, I'm used to using skincare products (I told about my last favorite here, but this summer I discovered a decorative line for myself. yet they don't take up much space. Skinfood has a range of mineral eyeshadow sticks with a brush on the back, all colors will be appreciated by lovers of nude and quick picks.
"Cherry Velvet" is a delicate but expressive pink, tending to a peach shade, which looks very fresh due to the shining finish! I use eyeshadow in the morning when I want to hide the marks of fatigue and only a few hours of sleep, I carefully blend it with a brush to get a slight shimmer effect. When applied to a matte base or base, it stays with you all day.

Shade Cocktail Glow, 15, Lorigne
Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
This year, a new French player has appeared on the Russian beauty arena, who has already managed to fall in love with girls all over the world. And having tried the mineral shadows, I understood why the products won the hearts of even sophisticated beauty lovers.
I fell in love with the shades of the “cocktail” line for their versatility - I use them as a base for brighter shades, apply under the eyebrow to emphasize its shape and make the look brighter, or distribute it over the entire moving eyelid to add shine to daily makeup.
The tool is a godsend for girls who are always on the run. They are best applied with your fingertips, but be careful - due to their all-natural composition, they have a very crumbly texture. If you don't want to see a pearlescent shine all over your face, it's best to take your time and apply the eyeshadow to the base.

Mineral Melting Ice - Cream Shadow, 01 Cream Cheese & Berry, Skinfood

At first glance, creamy eyeshadows in a compact package look normal, but there is a brush on the back of the stick! Protectors of hygiene and fans of disinfectants, rejoice - now you can paint on the run without fear of bacteria and germs.
The product has a soft, creamy texture, they are easily distributed on the mobile eyelid. A separate bonus is the waterproof formula, which means that shadows can be applied before going to the beach (admit, we all want beautiful photos with sparkling eyes). By the way, they are removed in two movements with micellar water (you can find the best ones here.
The shade, or to be more precise, its incredible shimmer, resembles sparkling lights. Take note for the holiday season and beach holidays - compact, beautiful and effective!

Tested by BeautyHack SMM Manager Alexandra Grishina
In the summer you don't want to overload your face with a lot of funds, but with these shadows you can easily forget about the base. Amazing durability and richness of the pigment will surprise even the most sophisticated eyeshadow lovers.
If you want to bring the lower eyelid neatly - again these shadows are in your hands: in addition to the convenient retractable rod, they have a built-in sharpener.
The golden hue comes in handy if you want to add a touch of playfulness to the look. And it is better to remove them with a two-phase remedy - it will dissolve the pigments faster, and you do not have to actively rub your eyes (my favorite can be found here

Monoties 57 Clamshell, Kiss Professional
Tested by BeautyHack special correspondent Anastasia Lyagushkina
The shade of the shadows is reminiscent of the color of the sand in the Dominican Republic - the memories of summer holidays immediately come to life!
The product has a silky texture - the shadows fit perfectly and are easily shaded. I applied them with my fingertips on the eyelid without a base - until the end of the day they did not roll or crumble.
They give a very neutral shade with a light shimmer that will accentuate the color of any eyes and make them brighter.

When shaded, they give a subtle shade and shine, allowing you to create a natural, natural look. If you do not have a brush at hand, you can apply with hammering movements with your fingertips.
