Eyeshadow palettes are often cumbersome and leave powdery messes behind but [Kosas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revealer-extra-bright) created simple and clean eyeshadow solution for those on the go. The Kosas 10-Second Eyeshadow is packaged in a ready-to-apply tube so that the water-based, crease-resistant formula can be swiped right across the eyelids. The buildable formula is packed with skin-loving ingredients, specifically to smooth and tone this delicate part of the face.

The 10-Second Eyeshadow is available in a range of colors from Waterfall to Copper Halo, all of which contains soothing and balancing jojoba oil and orange flower water for brightening benefits.

From one-minute hair masks to nail polish formulas that dry in seconds, beauty brands are delivering fast-acting formulas that help to speed up the process of self-care and beautification.
