Best dupe for my beloved deceased Lime Crime Diamond Dew eye topper

October 17, 2023 2:21 PM

Hello, makeup lovers of Mefi, please help me. I was in love with the Lime Crime Diamond Dew and it was discontinued. Can you help me figure out what product I want that is most like it?

Here are the things I liked about it: very, very sparkly, lasted a long time, glitter did not ever come off in my eyes, and most importantly - it was a topper, not an eye shadow, meaning, I could put it over any color eye shadow and it would make it beautifully gloriously sparkly but the pigment color would still be primary. I am almost to the point of buying some on Poshmark but it's so expensive now! Thanks for any help you can give!

Best answer: I'd thought the Lime Crime product itself was a dupe? For Stila (Glitter & Glow; Shimmer & Glow; Glisten & Glow; all "Wear it alone or over eyeshadow," and $25 at Sephora or company site; Ulta has a travel sized Glitter & Glow for $12), or another brand? Temptalia has a Stila Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Dupes page.

My glitter eyeliner go-to has long been Urban Decay. I don’t know the Lime Crime product, but that one has all the characteristics you mention and comes in many pleasant colours.

Also consider fellow indie makeup brand, Sugarpill Cosmetics. They have loose eyeshadows that are meant to either be used on their own or as a topper over other shadows.
