The MAC Small Eyeshadow in 'Memories of Space' is designed for versatile eye enhancement. Its finely milled formula glides onto eyelids smoothly, making it easy to apply with a brush or even a fingertip. The rich color payoff means a little product goes a long way, allowing you to build intensity from a soft wash of color to a more opaque, dramatic statement.
For a subtle daytime look, use a fluffy brush to apply a light layer across the eyelid and into the crease. Its blendability allows for seamless diffusion, creating a natural contour. For added definition, use a smaller, denser brush to pack the color onto the lid or along the lash line.
To create a dramatic evening look, layer the eyeshadow for increased intensity. Apply an eyeshadow primer first to enhance vibrancy and longevity. Use a flat brush to press the color onto the lid for maximum impact, then blend out the edges with a clean fluffy brush. This shade can also be used as an eyeliner when applied with a dampened angled brush, offering an alternative way to incorporate its unique hue.
The compact size is perfect for slipping into a small makeup bag, allowing for quick touch-ups throughout the day or night. Whether you're aiming for a professional polished look or experimenting with creative eye art, 'Memories of Space' provides the quality and performance expected from MAC.
Setup (Application):
Prepare: Start with a clean, dry eyelid. For extended wear and enhanced color, apply an eyeshadow primer.
Apply: Use an eyeshadow brush (fluffy for blending, flat for packing color, or angled for liner) or a clean fingertip.
For a wash of color: Swirl a fluffy brush lightly over the pan, tap off excess, and sweep across the eyelid.
For intense color: Use a flat brush to press the shadow onto the lid.
For lining: Dampen an angled brush slightly, pick up product, and draw along the lash line.
Blend: Use a clean, fluffy brush to soften any harsh edges and blend colors seamlessly.
Compatibility:
This eyeshadow is compatible with all standard eyeshadow brushes, sponges, and primers. It layers well with other powder and cream eyeshadows from MAC or other brands. Always ensure other products are fully dry before layering powder shadows.
Care:
Storage: Store the eyeshadow in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its texture and color integrity.
Cleaning: If the surface of the eyeshadow develops a "hard pan" (a smooth, hard film that prevents color pickup), gently scrape it away with a piece of tape or a clean spoolie brush.
Hygiene: To prevent contamination, avoid using dirty brushes. Clean your makeup brushes regularly with a gentle brush cleanser. Close the compact lid tightly after each use.
