Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick Duo - Pyrite / Muted Taupe

For optimal results, apply a thin layer directly to your eyelid and blend quickly with your fingertip or a brush before the long-wear formula sets. You can layer for more intensity.

While not explicitly stated as 'waterproof', its 'long-wear' formula indicates significant resistance to smudging, creasing, and fading, making it highly durable against moisture and humidity.

Yes, you can use the tip of the stick to draw a thicker line along your lash line for a soft eyeliner effect, especially with the Muted Taupe shade. For a finer line, you can pick up some product with a thin eyeliner brush.

Due to its long-wear properties, it's best removed with an oil-based makeup remover or a bi-phase eye makeup remover. Apply the remover to a cotton pad and gently hold it over your closed eyelid for a few seconds before wiping away.

The product's stick design may require sharpening to maintain a precise tip for application. If it doesn't twist up to reveal more product, use a cosmetic sharpener designed for cream pencils to avoid product waste and ensure a smooth tip.

This dual-ended stick includes 'Pyrite', which is typically a shimmering, metallic golden-bronze or warm-toned shimmer, and 'Muted Taupe', a versatile soft, cool-toned brown with grey undertones, often with a matte or satin finish.

Ensure eyelids are prepped with a thin layer of eye primer or a light dusting of setting powder. Apply a thin layer of the eyeshadow stick and blend immediately. Avoid applying too much product at once.

Build up the color gradually by applying multiple thin layers, blending after each application until the desired intensity is achieved. For deeper color, apply directly from the stick and don't blend excessively.

The long-wear cream formula sets quickly. For best results, work on one eye at a time and blend immediately after applying the product. Use your fingertip for quick, warm blending or a small, dense brush.

Ensure the cap is always securely replaced after use to prevent drying. If the tip feels dry, try gently warming it on the back of your hand for a few seconds before application. If it's an older product, it might be past its shelf life.

Apply the product with a light touch and avoid extending too much product if it's a twist-up. When sharpening (if applicable), use a high-quality cosmetic sharpener that is clean and sharp, and sharpen gently.
