Whether your goal is a full-on opaque glimmer or a subtle dust of shimmer, the algorithm-backed selections that follow are a sure-fire way to get a fall-ready glow-up in a cinch.

Make Up For Ever Artist Color Eye Shadow in I-328

LOVED FOR: Glittery under eyes and cheeks are not the goal here. Thankfully, this highly-pigmented shadow is completely fallout-free.

COMPLETE THE LOOK: Bronzed peepers are what we're going for here, but once you see the other 121 shades (yes, 121), you'll probably want to purchase a whole palette.


Nars Velvet Shadow Stick in Belle-lle

BEST FOR: Thanks to the twist-up design and one-swipe color payoff, this shadow stick is ideal for on-the-go—no brushes required. And if you have oily lids, fear not. The formula won't crease, smear, or fade.

USERS SAID: "These are my favorite eye shadows! They apply beautifully and are easy to blend with a finger. They last all day and night without creasing, and there is just enough shimmer to make my eyes pop without being too much."


L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24HR Shadow in Bronzed Taupe

WHAT IT DOES: This innovative formula expertly merges the ease of a powder with the velvety consistency of a cream for a unique hybrid that effortlessly glides onto the lids. Expect it to last you 24 hours, even through rain, tears, sweat, swimming—you name it.

BEST FOR: This particular bronzey shade is ideal for making blue eyes pop.


Tom Ford Cream and Powder Eye Color

WHY YOU NEED IT: Two covetable formulas, twice the glam. With one champagne shadow and one rose gold cream, you've got endless possibilities for mixing, matching, or wearing alone.

HELPFUL TIP: Dab a little on your cheeks to fake that fresh-from-the-beach face. Summer may be coming to an end, but that doesn't mean our glows have to.


Hourglass Scattered Light Glitter Eyeshadow in Burnish

BEST FOR: Formulated with light-reflecting pearls for high-impact, sparkling eyes, this shadow will seamlessly fit into your go-to glam routine.

LOVED FOR: This formula is super buildable—you can go from sheer, crystal-like shimmer to an opaque prismatic glitter with just a few extra swipes.


Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Half Baked

USERS SAID: "This is my go-to, all-time favorite eyeshadow! It has such a light, beautiful shimmer, and it isn’t too heavy. It goes on so nicely and stays on for most of the day! I get so many compliments on it too."

FUN FACT: Over 2,000 five-star reviews don't lie, ladies. 


Charlotte Tilbury Colour Chameleon Eye Shadow Pencil in Bronzed Garnet

BEST FOR: Formulated to transform and enhance eye color in one single step, this shade is an excellent match for green eyes.

HELPFUL TIP: Whether you swipe a layer on your lids or sharpen it up and use it as a liner, be sure to work quickly—it'll set after 30 seconds.


Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Golden Bronze

LOVED FOR: Both fade- and flake-free, you can use this do-it-all shadow stick to shade, define, smoke up, or highlight—you've got options here.

USERS SAID: "OMG! I must have every color! I bought these to take on vacation to Florida, and at the end of the day, they still looked fresh AND creaseless. I didn’t even use primer! They blend really well together, and the colors are buildable."


Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Color in Copper

BEST FOR: This shadow is guaranteed to amp up your smokey-eye game. Each convenient stick is long-wearing, transfer-resistant, and blends easily for rich color payoff.

USERS SAID: "These pencils are phenomenal. I was concerned that because they were so pigmented, blending would be difficult. They are EASILY blendable with your fingers or a brush. But once it sets, it will not budge. I rubbed my eye before, and there wasn't a trace of color on my fingers!"


Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Bronzed Bell

WHY YOU NEED IT: With a liquid formula and doe-foot applicator, this pick makes shadow application a total breeze. If you think you're bad at eye makeup, this will make you think again.

LOVED FOR: Thanks to the ultra-fine glitter, this pick glides on effortlessly, dries down smoothly, and won't fade or flake.
