FAQs
How do I achieve a soft-matte finish?
The liquid-to-powder formula naturally sets to a soft-matte finish. Ensure you blend it out thoroughly before it fully sets for a diffused, velvety look.
Is this eyeshadow suitable for sensitive eyes?
While the formula is designed for comfortable wear, individual sensitivities can vary. It's always recommended to patch-test on a small area first if you have known sensitivities.
Can I use this eyeshadow with a brush?
Yes, you can use a brush for application and blending. It's often best to apply the product with the applicator first, then quickly blend with a brush for a seamless finish.
How long does the color typically last?
The eyeshadow is formulated for long-lasting wear and is resistant to transfer and creasing, typically lasting throughout the day.
What is the best way to remove this eyeshadow?
This eyeshadow can be removed effectively with most oil-based makeup removers or micellar water. Gently wipe the eyelids until all product is removed.
Can I layer this eyeshadow with other products?
Yes, it can be layered with itself for more intensity. It can also be used with primers and setting sprays. Applying powder shadows on top may require careful blending to avoid a muddy appearance.
Troubleshooting
Product feels dry or difficult to blend.
Ensure the cap is tightly sealed when not in use. If the product has started to set on the lid, try blending immediately after application with a damp brush or a makeup setting spray.
Color appears patchy or uneven.
Apply in thinner layers, allowing each layer to set slightly before adding more. Ensure your eyelid is smooth and free of excess oils before application. Using a primer can also help create an even base.
Product transfers to the upper eyelid crease.
Ensure you are blending the product sufficiently. If creasing persists, consider using an eyeshadow primer specifically designed to prevent creasing or an eyelid primer before application.
The red shade is too intense for a subtle look.
Apply a very small amount of product and blend it out extensively with a clean brush or fingertip. Alternatively, use it as a liner or only on the outer corner of the eye.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Application: This product is ready to use straight from the applicator. For best results, apply directly to the eyelid and blend immediately using a clean brush or fingertip before the liquid formula sets into a powder. Work in small sections if applying multiple layers.
Compatibility: This eyeshadow is designed for use on the eyelid. It is compatible with most standard eyeshadow primers and setting sprays. It can be worn alone or layered with other powder or cream eyeshadows, though applying powders over this liquid-to-powder formula might require careful blending.
Care: To maintain the integrity of the formula, ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean the applicator, gently wipe it with a tissue. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the product.
