Makeup By Mario Liquid Eyeshadow

Editor's Take
A silicone-free liquid shadow that swaps Dimethicone for Ethyl Macadamiate and still delivers the slip; modern emollient chemistry at work.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.8 / 10
- Modern Tech: 7.0 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 7.8 / 10
- Sustainability: 9.1 / 10
The Verdict
This formula quietly sidesteps the usual silicone base in favor of plant-derived Ethyl Macadamiate and a Zinc Stearate suspension system, which is more well executed than most liquid shadows bother with. The payoff is smooth application and crease-free wear without the heavy synthetic feel. Synthetic dyes (Yellow 5 Lake, Red 40 Lake) and Nylon-12 keep it from being a clean-beauty darling, but the core formula is thoughtfully built. Worth it if you want modern performance without the silicone slip.
