FAQs

What kind of looks can I create with the 002 Smokey Essentials palette?

This palette is specifically curated for creating a variety of smokey eye looks, from classic soft smokey to intense, dramatic effects. The harmonious shades allow for versatile compositions tailored to the smokey aesthetic.

Can I use these eyeshadows wet for a more intense look?

While primarily designed for dry application, some metallic or pearlescent shades in the palette may be used wet with a damp, flat brush for a more intense, foiled, or eyeliner-like effect. Always test on a small area first.

How do I make the eyeshadows last longer throughout the day?

For optimal longevity, always begin by applying the included eyeshadow primer across your eyelids. This step significantly strengthens the eyeshadows' hold and prevents creasing, ensuring your look stays fresh longer.

Are the shades in the 002 Smokey Essentials palette suitable for sensitive eyes?

Dior products are generally formulated to high standards. However, if you have sensitive eyes or known allergies, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small skin area before full application.

How should I clean my makeup brushes after using this palette?

For best hygiene and performance, clean your makeup brushes regularly using a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and lay them flat on a clean towel to air dry.

Can the darkest shades be used as an eyeliner?

Yes, the versatile powder shades can be applied as an eyeliner. For a precise line, use a damp, fine-tipped eyeliner brush to pick up the darkest shade and apply it close to your lash line.

What is the best way to apply the more shimmery or metallic shades?

For maximum impact and pigment payoff from shimmery or metallic shades, gently press them onto the desired area of your eyelid using a fingertip or a dense, flat shader brush.

Troubleshooting

Eyeshadows do not last as long as expected or crease easily.

Always start your application with the included eyeshadow primer. Ensure it's applied evenly and allowed to set for a moment before applying powder shadows. For oily eyelids, a thin layer of translucent setting powder over the primer can also help.

Color payoff is not as intense as desired.

For maximum color intensity, gently press the eyeshadow onto your lid using a dense, flat brush or your fingertip, rather than sweeping. Building up thin layers gradually can also enhance vibrancy. Ensure the primer is applied consistently as it significantly boosts color.

Eyeshadow appears patchy or is difficult to blend.

Ensure your brushes are clean and dry. Apply shades in thin, buildable layers and use a clean, fluffy brush for seamless blending. If the issue persists, verify that your primer application is smooth and not too thick, as this can affect blendability.

Cons

Setup: Ensure your eyelids are clean, dry, and free of any residual oils or makeup before applying the primer. This provides an optimal base for product adherence. Compatibility: This palette is designed for broad compatibility with various application methods. You can use professional makeup brushes for precision and blending, sponge applicators for packing on color, or even your fingertips for a more intense, direct application of shimmer shades. It is suitable for all skin types. Care: To maintain the quality and longevity of your palette, always close the lid securely after each use to prevent dust accumulation and product drying. Store the palette in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to preserve the integrity of the powders. Regularly clean your makeup brushes to prevent product buildup and ensure hygienic application.
