The [liquid-to-powder eyeshadow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/getset-blur-set-matte) comes in the form of a tube and is available in seven shades like Terra, Valley and Pebble, all inspired by the Southwest. Thanks to its unique format and packaging, the product is easy to apply and blend to create a soft, diffused finish. According to the beauty brand, Softlock Technology allows the "coating on each pigment allows the formula to lock onto lids for 12 hours without smudging." The [long-lasting, effortless looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eye-tint) that can be created with Skywash will be especially appealing to those who love the fresh "Glossier look," as the brand suggests applying a wash of color and finishing off with a slick of mascara.
