The MAC Small Eye Shadow in Sketch offers remarkable performance, making it a staple for both everyday wear and special occasions.
Dry Application: For a soft wash of color or a blended base, apply the shadow directly to your lid using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Build up intensity by layering the product. This method is ideal for subtle daytime looks or as a transition shade.
Wet Application: To achieve a more intense, vibrant color payoff or a liner effect, slightly dampen your brush (a flat, dense brush works best) before picking up the product. This technique enhances the pigment and creates a bolder, more metallic, or saturated finish. It's excellent for creating dramatic evening looks or precise lines.
Finger Application: For a quick, intense pop of color, especially with shimmery or metallic finishes, use your fingertip to press the shadow onto the center of your lid. The warmth of your finger can help melt the product for a smoother finish.
Everyday Definition: Apply a light layer to the crease for added depth or as an all-over lid color for a polished look.
Smokey Eyes: Use Sketch as a key color, building intensity in the outer corner and blending into the crease for a classic smokey eye.
Eyeliner: When applied wet with a thin, angled brush, Sketch can double as a long-wearing eyeliner for a soft or dramatic line.
Prep Your Lids: For even longer wear and to prevent creasing, consider using an eyeshadow primer before application.
Build Layers: Instead of applying a large amount at once, build up the color in thin layers for better control and blendability.
Clean Brushes: Regularly clean your brushes to ensure smooth application and prevent product buildup.
This product requires no specific setup. It is ready for use directly from its compact packaging.
Skin & Eyes: The MAC Small Eye Shadow is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, non-acnegenic, and safe for contact lens wearers. This indicates it's formulated to be gentle and suitable for a wide range of skin types and those with sensitive eyes.
Tools: Compatible with various application tools including eyeshadow brushes (fluffy for blending, dense for packing color), sponge-tip applicators, and clean fingertips.
Storage: Store the eyeshadow compact in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to maintain its integrity and pigment quality.
Compact Hygiene: Keep the compact lid securely closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out and to protect it from dust and debris.
Tool Hygiene: For optimal performance and hygiene, regularly clean any brushes or applicators used with the eyeshadow. This prevents bacterial buildup and ensures smooth, even application every time.
