FAQs

Is MAC Small Eye Shadow - All That Glitters safe for contact lens wearers?

Yes, this product is ophthalmologist tested and formulated to be safe for individuals who wear contact lenses.

How can I achieve a more intense or metallic look with this eyeshadow?

To intensify the color and create a more metallic or foiled finish, apply the eyeshadow using a damp brush. Wetting your brush with water or a setting spray will enhance its vibrancy.

How long does the eyeshadow typically last on the eyes?

The MAC Small Eye Shadow is designed to last up to eight hours without creasing, especially when applied over an eye primer.

What kind of finishes are available in the MAC Small Eye Shadow range?

The MAC Small Eye Shadow collection offers a wide variety of finishes, ranging from matte to metallic, allowing for diverse looks.

Will this eyeshadow cause acne or irritate sensitive skin?

No, the formula is dermatologist tested and non-acnegenic, meaning it's designed not to clog pores and is suitable for sensitive skin around the eyes.

Do I need to use an eye primer with this product?

While not strictly required, using an eye primer is highly recommended. It enhances color payoff, ensures smoother application, and significantly extends the wear time, preventing creasing.

How should I clean my brushes after using this eyeshadow?

Regularly clean your eyeshadow brushes with a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap and water. Allow them to air dry completely before next use to maintain hygiene and optimal application.

Troubleshooting

Eyeshadow color does not appear vibrant enough.

Try applying the eyeshadow wet with a damp brush. This method significantly intensifies the pigment, especially for metallic and shimmery shades like 'All That Glitters.' You can also layer the product for increased intensity.

Eyeshadow creases or fades before eight hours.

Always use an eye primer before application. Primers create a smooth, long-lasting base that helps the eyeshadow adhere better and prevents creasing. Also, apply eyeshadow in thin, even layers rather than one thick layer.

Experiencing fallout during application.

Before applying, tap off any excess product from your brush. For intense looks, consider doing your eye makeup before your face makeup, so any fallout can be easily cleaned up without disturbing your foundation.

Difficult to blend the eyeshadow smoothly.

Ensure you are using a clean, fluffy blending brush. Apply a small amount of product at a time and use circular motions to blend. If applying multiple colors, blend each shade seamlessly before adding the next.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare Your Lids: Before applying eyeshadow, ensure your eyelids are clean and dry. For best results and extended wear, apply an eye primer across your entire eyelid and up to your brow bone. This creates a smooth base for the eyeshadow.
  2. Select Your Tools: Choose appropriate eyeshadow brushes. For applying color, a flat shader brush works well. For blending, opt for a soft, fluffy blending brush. For wet application, a dense, flat synthetic brush is ideal.

Compatibility

  • Brushes: Compatible with natural and synthetic eyeshadow brushes. For wet application, synthetic brushes are generally recommended as they absorb less product.
  • Eye Primers: Works seamlessly with most eye primers, which are recommended for enhanced longevity and color intensity.
  • Contact Lenses: The ophthalmologist-tested formula makes it safe for use by contact lens wearers.

Care

  • Storage: Store the eyeshadow in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve its texture and pigment quality. Ensure the compact is always closed tightly after use to prevent drying out or contamination.
  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the surface of the eyeshadow gently with a clean tissue if it develops a 'hard pan' from oils or moisture. Avoid exposing the pan to excessive moisture, especially for prolonged periods after wet application.
  • Brush Hygiene: Regularly clean your eyeshadow brushes to prevent product buildup and bacterial growth. This ensures optimal application and product performance.
