A deep dive into the pastel shades that helped define Glisten.
There are certain products that do more than just sit in a collection. They become part of a brand’s identity. For Glisten Cosmetics, pastel liners are exactly that.
Long before bold graphic colour became an everyday beauty language, Glisten helped carve out a space for it – and our pastel shades have been part of that story from the beginning. They are some of the most recognisable colours in the brand’s history: playful, soft, striking, and unmistakably Glisten. So while people have been asking whether we still do pastel liners, the answer is simple: absolutely.
Not only do we still have them, they remain some of the prettiest, most versatile shades in the range. From sweet UV brights to muted dusty tones, our pastel liners offer every kind of soft colour story. Whether you want something airy and floral, clean and graphic, or delicate with a twist, there is a pastel for it.
Here is your full pastel deep dive.
Grape
A UV pastel purple, Grape is soft in tone but full of personality. There is something about pastel purple that always feels a little dreamy, and this shade captures that perfectly. Under normal light it gives that sweet lilac effect, but the UV finish gives it an extra layer of fun that makes it ideal for festivals, nights out, and any look that wants a subtle surprise.
It is the kind of shade that works beautifully in floral designs, floating liner shapes, or paired with pinks and blues for a true pastel fantasy.
Strawberry
Strawberry is a UV baby pink and, truly, one of those shades that never stops feeling cute. It has that classic soft pink appeal that makes any eye look feel instantly sweeter, fresher, and more playful. But because it is UV, it brings more than softness alone — it still has that bold Glisten energy underneath.
This is the liner for heart details, petals, blush-toned graphic shapes, and anything that leans romantic without feeling too safe.
Mint
Fresh in every sense, Mint is a UV pastel green that instantly livens up a look. Green can sometimes feel intimidating in makeup, but pastel green is where it becomes playful, flattering, and unexpectedly versatile. Mint has that springtime brightness that feels perfect for floral artistry, but it also works beautifully in sharper, more graphic styles.
It is crisp, fun, and ideal for anyone who wants colour that still feels soft.
Peach
Peach is a UV pastel orange, and it brings warmth to the pastel collection in the prettiest way. Where some pastel shades lean cool and delicate, Peach feels sunny, cheerful, and full of life. It brightens up any colour story and pairs especially well with pinks, yellows, and greens for looks that feel made for spring and summer.
There is something almost nostalgic about it — soft, citrusy, and impossible not to love.
Vanilla
A UV pastel yellow, Vanilla is sunshine in liner form. Yellow can be one of the most joyful colours in makeup, and in a pastel finish it becomes even more charming. Vanilla is light, happy, and perfect for adding brightness to any eye look, whether you are doing soft inner-corner details, dainty florals, or full graphic colour. It is one of those shades that instantly lifts a makeup look and makes it feel more playful.
Bubblegum
For those who love something a little different, Bubblegum is a UV pastel turquoise that feels vibrant while still staying in the soft pastel family. It has the brightness of blue-green tones, but with a lighter, sweeter finish that makes it especially eye-catching. This is such a gorgeous shade for summery looks, mermaid-inspired designs, or adding a pop of cool pastel colour that stands out from the usual pinks and purples.
Menthe
Menthe brings a more muted take on pastel with its dusty pastel sage tone. Where some pastel shades are bright and sugary, Menthe feels softer, calmer, and more understated. It has a slightly more editorial mood to it — the kind of pastel that feels elegant as much as playful. If you love softer greens but want something less bright than Mint, Menthe is a beautiful alternative. It is subtle, chic, and ideal for more toned-down colour stories.
Plum
A matte pastel periwinkle, Plum sits in that beautiful space between blue and lilac. Periwinkle always feels a little special — softer than a true blue, cooler than a standard lavender — and Plum wears beautifully because of it. The matte finish keeps it clean and modern, making it perfect for graphic lines, negative-space looks, or monochromatic pastel moments. It is delicate, but never dull.
Angel
For anyone who likes their pastels with a little extra glow, Angel is a pastel pink metallic that feels sweet, soft, and just a little more luminous. It has all the prettiness of a classic pastel pink, but the metallic finish gives it a reflective quality that makes it especially lovely for more dimensional looks. Think of it as the pastel for people who still want sparkle — romantic, light-catching, and beautifully feminine.
Dusty
A nude pastel, Dusty is one of those shades that proves pastel does not always have to mean bright. Softer and more neutral, it offers a gentler approach to colour while still giving that muted, airy look that makes pastels so appealing. It is a brilliant shade for more understated artistry, subtle detailing, or pairing with bolder pastel tones to soften a design. Elegant, wearable, and quietly beautiful.
Ray
Ray is a light orange matte with a softness that feels warm and modern. If Peach is bright and juicy, Ray is a little more grounded. It still carries that gentle orange tone, but in a way that feels clean, wearable, and easy to style across different looks. It is especially lovely for sunset tones, warm florals, and soft seasonal makeup that wants a touch of brightness without going full neon.
The Pastel Circle Split Liner
If choosing just one shade feels impossible, the Pastel Circle Split Liner is the perfect answer. It contains Strawberry, Bubblegum, Grape, Vanilla, and Blueberry — all UV — making it a ready-made pastel dream. It is ideal for anyone who wants to experiment with multiple shades at once, whether for detailed artistry, travel-friendly kits, or simply having your soft-colour staples all in one place. It captures the brighter, sweeter side of Glisten’s pastel story in a single product.

Pastels have always had a place in beauty, but Glisten’s pastel liners feel especially enduring because they do not just follow a trend. They helped build the visual language so many people now associate with artistic makeup: floating shapes, florals, graphic details, soft colour blocking, and looks that feel creative without losing their prettiness.
They are nostalgic, yes. They are also still incredibly current.
For longtime Glisten lovers, these shades are part of the brand’s story. For anyone newer to them, this is your sign that pastel liners are still very much here, and still just as fun to create with.
If you have been asking whether Glisten still does pastel liners, consider this your answer. We do, and they remain some of the most iconic shades in our collection.
From the sugary brightness of Strawberry and Vanilla, the softer, dustier beauty of Menthe and Dusty, to the glow of Angel and the curated ease of our pastel splits, there is a pastel for every kind of makeup mood.
Soft does not have to mean boring. And Glisten pastels have been proving that from the very start.
