FAQs
Can I use this with powder eyeshadow?
Yes, you can use the stick as a base for powder shadows to increase their longevity and depth.
Is this safe for contact lens wearers?
The product is ophthalmologist-tested; however, if you have sensitivities, test a small area first.
Does it need a primer underneath?
The formula is designed to be long-wearing on its own, so a separate primer is typically unnecessary.
How do I sharpen the tip?
It is a twist-up stick and does not require manual sharpening; the tip maintains its shape with regular use.
Can I use this on my waterline?
While it is designed for the eyelid, the creamy formula is soft enough for defined lines, but avoid direct application inside the eye.
Troubleshooting
Color is not blending out properly
The formula sets quickly; apply to one eye and blend immediately before moving to the other.
Product tip feels dry
Ensure the cap is fully snapped on after use. If the surface feels set, gently warm the tip against the back of your hand to release the oils.
Difficult to remove
The waterproof formula requires an oil-based cleanser or makeup remover; avoid rubbing with water-only cleansers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use, simply twist the base to reveal the product tip. Apply color directly to the eyelid; because of the creamy, tug-free texture, minimal pressure is needed. Ensure the cap is snapped shut securely after every use to prevent the formula from drying out. Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the oil-infused formula. When removing, use an oil-based eye makeup remover or a dual-phase micellar water to break down the long-wear pigments without excessive scrubbing.
