FAQs

What is the dual finish formula?

The dual finish formula combines a matte base eyeshadow with a complementary sparkling topper in one compact, allowing you to create layered looks with different textures and finishes.

How do I get the best blend between the matte and sparkling finishes?

Apply the matte shade first and blend the edges. Then, use a clean brush or fingertip to gently pat or tap the sparkling topper onto the desired area. Blend the edges where the two finishes meet very lightly to avoid muddying the effect.

Is this eyeshadow suitable for sensitive eyes?

The product is formulated without microplastics, mineral oils, and perfume, and is vegan, making it generally suitable for most users. However, individual sensitivities can vary. It's always recommended to perform a patch test if you have known sensitivities.

How long does the wear time typically last?

The eyeshadow is designed for long-lasting, smudge-proof wear. With proper application, potentially over an eyeshadow primer, it can last throughout the day and evening.

Can I use this product for everyday wear?

Yes, the matte base can be used on its own for a subtle everyday look, or combined with the topper for more dramatic effects suitable for special occasions or evening wear.

What does 'cream-to-powder' texture mean?

It refers to a texture that initially feels like a cream upon application, providing easy spreadability, but then sets to a powder-like finish on the skin, offering longevity and a smooth feel.

How should I remove this eyeshadow?

This eyeshadow can be removed with a standard eye makeup remover. For best results, use an oil-based or micellar water-based remover to gently dissolve the pigments and shimmer.

Troubleshooting

Eyeshadow is difficult to blend

Ensure you are working with a clean, dry brush or fingertip. For cream textures, blending works best when the product is still slightly moist. You can also try applying a small amount of eye primer to the lid first, as this can help create a smoother base for blending.

Sparkle topper causes fallout

Apply the glitter topper as the last step in your eye makeup routine. Use a flat, dense brush to pat the glitter onto the lid, rather than sweeping. Avoid applying too much product at once. A glitter glue or a damp brush can also help the glitter adhere better.

Product seems to be drying out

Make sure the lid is closed tightly after every use. Store the product in a cool, dry place. If the product has started to dry, you can try adding a drop or two of a makeup mixing solution or cosmetic-grade oil (like jojoba oil) to help rehydrate it, though this may slightly alter the finish.

Color does not appear as intense as expected

Apply the product in thin layers, building up the intensity gradually. Using an eyeshadow primer can also help the color appear more vibrant. Ensure you are using the appropriate applicator for the desired effect; dense brushes can pack on more color.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile dual finish for multiple looks
  • Creamy texture that blends easily
  • Intense pigmentation for bold color
  • Long-wearing and smudge-proof formula
  • Vegan and free of common irritants
  • Sustainable packaging

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application: Apply the matte base shade to your eyelids using a brush, foam applicator, or your fingertips. For added shimmer, layer the sparkling topper over the matte base or apply it to specific areas like the inner corner or center of the lid. Blend the edges for a seamless finish.

Compatibility: This eyeshadow is compatible with most standard eye makeup primers and setting sprays. It performs well on its own but can be enhanced with a primer for extended wear or for those with oily lids.

Care: To maintain the cream-to-powder formula's integrity and prevent drying, ensure the compact is closed tightly after each use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To clean applicators or brushes used with the product, wash them with mild soap and water and allow them to dry completely before reuse.
