Use a slightly deeper shade in the crease for definition. - Evening Drama: Layer the metallic shade on the center of the lid for a pop, and deepen the outer corner with the darkest shade for intensity. - Defining the Eye: Use a thin, angled brush with a dark matte shade to line the upper lash line or define the lower lash line. ### Real-World Performance - Blendability: The finely milled powders blend effortlessly, making transitions between shades seamless and preventing harsh lines. - Longevity: With proper primer, the eyeshadows maintain their vibrancy and finish for extended periods, resisting creasing and fading. - Versatility: The combination of finishes and harmonious shades means this one palette can cater to almost any occasion or desired mood. ### Tips for Optimal Performance - Prime Your Lids: Always start with an eyeshadow primer to enhance color vibrancy and extend wear. - Use Quality Brushes: Invest in good quality synthetic or natural hair brushes for precise application and blending. - Damp Application: For an even more intense metallic finish, lightly dampen your brush before picking up the metallic shade. - Layering for Depth: Don't be afraid to layer shades to build depth and create unique custom colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care ### Setup & First Use No specific setup is required for this eyeshadow palette. Simply open the compact to reveal the four shades and mirror. Ensure you have appropriate eyeshadow brushes for application. ### Compatibility This eyeshadow palette is generally compatible with most skin types. However, as with all cosmetics, if you have very sensitive skin, it is advisable to perform a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area before full application. It pairs well with CHANEL's range of primers, mascaras, and eyeliners. ### Care & Maintenance - Keep Compact Closed: Always ensure the compact is tightly closed after each use to prevent the powders from drying out or collecting dust. - Clean Brushes Regularly: Use a gentle brush cleaner to wash your eyeshadow brushes regularly to prevent product buildup and bacterial growth. - Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Avoid storing the palette in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can affect the product's texture and longevity. - Avoid Contamination: Do not share your eyeshadows with others to prevent the transfer of bacteria. Use clean applicators each time.
