Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
MAC Small Eyeshadow comes ready for use in its compact. Simply open the compact and you're ready to apply.
Compatibility
- Brushes: This eyeshadow works well with both natural and synthetic fiber eyeshadow brushes. Flat shader brushes are ideal for packing color, while fluffy blending brushes are best for diffusing edges.
- Primers: For enhanced longevity and color intensity, 'Naked Lunch' is highly compatible with most eyeshadow primers, especially those designed to prevent creasing.
- Other Makeup: It blends seamlessly with other MAC eyeshadows, eyeliners, and mascaras, allowing for a cohesive makeup look.
Product Care
- Storage: Store your eyeshadow compact in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Ensure the lid is securely closed after each use to prevent the product from drying out or becoming contaminated.
- Cleaning the Pan: If the surface of the eyeshadow develops a film (often called 'hard pan') due to oils from skin or brushes, gently scrape the top layer with a clean, disposable spoolie or a piece of tape. This restores the product's original texture and pigmentation.
- Hygiene: Always use clean brushes to apply your eyeshadow. Regularly cleaning your makeup brushes prevents product contamination and ensures optimal application performance. Avoid using fingers directly in the pan if possible, to maintain product integrity.
