Troubleshooting

Eyeshadow creases after a few hours.

Ensure you're using a small amount and blending the base evenly. Also, make sure the base is fully set before applying eyeshadow. If you have oily eyelids, consider using a translucent setting powder over the eye base before applying eyeshadow.

Eyeshadow color appears dull.

Make sure to apply an even layer of the eye base. If the color is still dull, consider using a lighter-colored base or primer underneath.

The product is difficult to blend.

Apply a very small amount and use a soft, clean brush or your fingertip to blend it thoroughly. Allow it to set for a few seconds before applying eyeshadow.
