MAC Small Eye Shadow in Gesso is renowned for its intense pigmentation and smooth texture, making it a staple for a variety of eye makeup techniques. As a pure matte white, Gesso excels as a brow bone highlight, a tear duct brightener, or an all-over base to make other colors pop. Applied dry with a fluffy brush, it provides a soft, buildable highlight. For a more dramatic or precise effect, such as creating sharp cut creases or as a graphic liner when mixed with a mixing medium, dampen your brush before picking up product.
Its blendability ensures that even with its strong pigment, it can be diffused for a softer look or layered for maximum opacity without appearing chalky. The eight-hour wear time is a significant benefit, providing confidence that your eye makeup will remain fresh throughout the day or night.
There is no complex setup required for MAC Small Eye Shadow. Simply open the compact.
This eyeshadow is designed to be compatible with standard eyeshadow brushes and applicators. For best results, use synthetic brushes for wet application and natural hair brushes for dry blending. It can be layered with other powder or cream eyeshadows and primers.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your eyeshadow:
Keep Lid Closed: Always secure the compact lid after use to prevent drying out and contamination.
Store Properly: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Moisture: While it can be used wet, avoid prolonged exposure to humidity to maintain product integrity.
Clean Brushes Regularly: Use clean brushes to apply product to prevent oils and debris from transferring to the eyeshadow pan.
