Usage Tips & Ideal Use Cases
Dry use only. For maximum impact, pair café au lait with a lighter eyelid shade to create classic eye makeup: apply a lighter tone on the lid and beneath the brow bone, then deepen the crease with a darker shade. To transition from day to night, enhance the look with a deeper tone and, if desired, liner. You can also pop a favorite shade into a Custom Compact for a personalized palette.
Fit for: makeup enthusiasts who want a highly pigmented, crease-resistant matte finish with a soft, creamy feel and long-lasting payoff. Best for those who prefer a clean, defined eye look with minimal fallout.
Laura’s Tip: Experiment with layering the shade for intensity while keeping the edge soft and diffused for a natural yet expressive look.
Storage and care: keep the product tightly closed when not in use to maintain texture and color integrity. Follow the included product instructions for any additional safety or usage notes.
