FAQs

Can I use this eyeshadow wet?

How long does the eyeshadow last on the skin?

What kind of finish does 230 Gris Paris have?

Info needed: [Specific finish for 230 Gris Paris - matte, satin, or metallic. General product line has all three].

How do I clean the applicators that come with the eyeshadow?

For the foam applicator, wash with mild soap and water and air dry. For the synthetic-bristle brushes, use a brush cleanser or mild soap, rinse well, reshape, and lay flat to dry.

Can I layer different shades of Ombre Essentielle together?

Absolutely! The formula is designed to be layered, allowing you to blend different shades to create custom and complex eye makeup looks.

Does this eyeshadow contain any beneficial ingredients?

Yes, the formula is enriched with sage oil, which contributes to its comfortable wear and 'second skin' effect, providing a sensory appeal during application.

Troubleshooting

Color appears too sheer or not vibrant enough.

For more intense color, apply an additional layer of eyeshadow. When using as an eyeliner, lightly dampen the tapered eyeliner brush before picking up the product for a more vivid result.

Eyeshadow is creasing on the eyelid.

Ensure your eyelid area is clean and free of excess oil before application. A thin layer of eyeshadow primer can also significantly extend wear and prevent creasing, especially for those with oily eyelids.

Applicator brushes seem stiff or less effective.

Regularly clean the synthetic-bristle brushes with a dedicated brush cleanser or mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely to restore their softness and effectiveness.

Experiencing minor irritation after application.

Although ophthalmologist tested, individual sensitivities can vary. Discontinue use if irritation persists. Ensure applicators are clean to avoid transferring bacteria. Consult a medical professional if concerns continue.

Care

To ensure the longevity of your product and applicators:

  1. Product Storage: Store the eyeshadow in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to maintain its texture and integrity. Keep the lid closed tightly after each use.
  2. Applicator Cleaning:
  • Foam applicator: Gently wash with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
  • Synthetic-bristle brushes: Clean regularly with a brush cleanser or mild soap and water. Reshape the bristles and lay flat or hang upside down to dry to maintain their shape and prevent water from seeping into the ferrule.
