Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
There's no complex setup required. Simply uncap the stick and you're ready to apply. For hygiene, it's recommended to wipe the tip with a clean tissue occasionally, especially if sharing or if you haven't used it for a while.
Application
- Prep: Ensure your eyelids are clean and dry. For extended wear and to prevent creasing, consider applying an eyeshadow primer beforehand, especially if you have oily eyelids.
- Apply: Gently swipe the stick directly onto your eyelids. Start with a thin layer; you can always build up color intensity.
- Blend: Immediately after application, use your fingertip, a blending brush, or a foam applicator to blend the edges. Work quickly, as the formula sets to its long-wear finish.
- Layer (Optional): For more depth, apply additional layers or blend with other cream shadow stick shades.
- Contour: Use the tip for precise lining or smudging along the lash line.
Compatibility
The Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick is highly compatible with most makeup products. It can be worn alone, layered under powder eyeshadows to boost color, or combined with liquid/gel eyeliners. It blends well with other cream eyeshadows, particularly those from the same line, due to similar formulations.
Product Care
- Storage: Always recap the stick tightly after each use to prevent it from drying out. Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and extreme heat.
- Cleaning: To maintain hygiene, you can gently wipe the tip of the stick with a clean tissue. Avoid using harsh cleaners or solvents directly on the product.
- Removal: To remove, use an oil-based makeup remover or micellar water. Gently wipe the eyelids until all product is removed, then follow with your regular cleansing routine.
