FAQs
Is this eyeshadow safe for contact lens wearers?
Yes, the product is ophthalmologically tested, making it safe for most users, including those who wear contact lenses.
Can I apply this with my fingers?
While a brush is recommended for better control and blending, the creamy formula allows for finger application if you prefer a quick, lived-in look.
Does this shade have any shimmer?
No, shade 14 is a matte finish, providing a modern, flat-color look without any glitter or metallic particles.
How do I remove this product?
The eyeshadow can be easily removed using a standard makeup remover or a gentle micellar water.
Is the formula waterproof?
The formula is not marketed as waterproof, so it is best to avoid heavy perspiration or water contact to ensure the color stays put.
Can this be used as an eyeliner?
Yes, if you use a damp, angled eyeliner brush, you can turn this powder into a sharp, matte red liquid liner.
Troubleshooting
Color appears faded after a few hours
Ensure you are using an eyeshadow primer as a base, as this anchors the oils and pigments to the skin.
Shadow looks patchy during application
Use a primer or a light dusting of translucent powder on the lids first to create a smooth, even surface for the shadow to grip.
Hard to blend out edges
Apply a small amount of a neutral skin-toned powder to the edges first, then blend the red shadow into that area to create a seamless gradient.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with this eyeshadow, start by prepping the eyelid with a high-quality eye primer to lock in the pigment and extend wear time. When applying, use professional-grade eye brushes; a flat brush is best for packing color, while a tapered blending brush is optimal for softening edges.
To care for your compact, keep the lid securely closed when not in use to prevent the creamy powder from drying out or accumulating dust. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the pigments. To clean the surface of the powder if it becomes contaminated, use a clean spoolie to gently scrape away the top layer.
