Ingredients and why they matter
Potassium Alum is a natural mineral salt that helps inhibit odor-causing bacteria on the skin surface and contributes to a clean, comfortable feel in eye area applications. Sodium Hyaluronate adds moisture-binding properties to help maintain a supple look on the eyelid. Glycerin supports hydration and helps the shadow glide onto the lid for even color distribution. Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Fruit Juice and Coconut Liquid Endosperm provide conditioning notes that help the texture stay smooth across application. The product includes pigments from stabilized matrixes like Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxides to create vibrant, true-to-pan shades with consistent tone across finishes.
Usage tips and suitability
- Prime eyelid with Shadow Insurance Eye Shadow Primer for smoother blending and longer wear.
- Define the crease with a matte shade using a fluffy blending brush, starting from the outer corner and buffing toward the inner corner in a rainbow motion for consistent color buildup.
- Apply your chosen shade to the eyelid with a flat brush; for shimmer shades, a clean fingertip can intensify the glow.
- Finish with a coat of mascara of your choice for a complete look.
Follow the included product instructions for any specific usage details and safety guidelines. Remember to test a small area first if you have sensitive eyes or are wearing contact lenses.
