Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your MAC Small Eye Shadow is ready to use straight out of its compact. No special setup is required.
Application Tools
For best results, use high-quality eyeshadow brushes. A flat, dense brush is ideal for packing on color, while a fluffy, tapered brush is perfect for blending. For wet application, a synthetic, flat brush works well to pick up and apply the dampened pigment.
Compatibility
- Eyeshadow Primers: While long-wearing, pairing this eyeshadow with an eyeshadow primer can significantly enhance its longevity, prevent creasing, and make the color even more vibrant, especially for those with oily eyelids.
- Other Eyeshadows: This shadow blends seamlessly with other powder eyeshadows, allowing you to create complex and layered looks.
- Eyeliner & Mascara: It's designed to complement your favorite eyeliners and mascaras for a complete eye makeup look.
Product Care
- Storage: Store your eyeshadow compact in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and prevent drying out or crumbling.
- Cleaning: If the surface of the eyeshadow appears hard or caked, gently scrape off the top layer with a clean, dry spatula or tissue. Avoid getting water into the compact unless specifically applying the shadow wet.
- Hygiene: To prevent product contamination, always use clean brushes for application. Clean your makeup brushes regularly with a gentle brush cleaner.
