Troubleshooting
Eyeshadow color appears dull or not vibrant enough.
Ensure your brush is clean. For stronger color, try applying the eyeshadow wet or layering multiple thin coats until desired intensity is achieved. Using an eyeshadow primer can also enhance vibrancy.
Eyeshadow creasing or fading before eight hours.
Always start with an eyeshadow primer. For oily eyelids, consider setting your primer with a translucent powder before applying shadow. Ensure the product is applied in thin, even layers.
Difficulty blending shades seamlessly.
Use a clean, fluffy blending brush. Apply lighter pressure when blending and use circular or windshield wiper motions. Practice with a small amount of product first.
Eyeshadow fallout during application.
Tap off any excess product from your brush before applying. Press the shadow onto the lid instead of swiping. For very pigmented or shimmery shades, do your eye makeup before your foundation to easily clean up any fallout.
