eye shadows

Eyelid cosmetic powders

Eye shadows are cosmetics applied to the eyelids to add color, depth, or shimmer.

They come in powder, cream, and liquid forms across countless shades.

The plural typically refers to a collection or palette: She has dozens of eye shadows but always reaches for the same three.

Also spelled as one word: eyeshadows.
