Dior Backstage Eye Palette - 002 Smokey Essentials - DIOR

This palette is specifically curated for creating a variety of smokey eye looks, from classic soft smokey to intense, dramatic effects. The harmonious shades allow for versatile compositions tailored to the smokey aesthetic.

While primarily designed for dry application, some metallic or pearlescent shades in the palette may be used wet with a damp, flat brush for a more intense, foiled, or eyeliner-like effect. Always test on a small area first.

For optimal longevity, always begin by applying the included eyeshadow primer across your eyelids. This step significantly strengthens the eyeshadows' hold and prevents creasing, ensuring your look stays fresh longer.

Dior products are generally formulated to high standards. However, if you have sensitive eyes or known allergies, it is always recommended to perform a patch test on a small skin area before full application.

For best hygiene and performance, clean your makeup brushes regularly using a gentle brush cleanser or mild soap and lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly, reshape the bristles, and lay them flat on a clean towel to air dry.

Yes, the versatile powder shades can be applied as an eyeliner. For a precise line, use a damp, fine-tipped eyeliner brush to pick up the darkest shade and apply it close to your lash line.

For maximum impact and pigment payoff from shimmery or metallic shades, gently press them onto the desired area of your eyelid using a fingertip or a dense, flat shader brush.

Always start your application with the included eyeshadow primer. Ensure it's applied evenly and allowed to set for a moment before applying powder shadows. For oily eyelids, a thin layer of translucent setting powder over the primer can also help.

For maximum color intensity, gently press the eyeshadow onto your lid using a dense, flat brush or your fingertip, rather than sweeping. Building up thin layers gradually can also enhance vibrancy. Ensure the primer is applied consistently as it significantly boosts color.

Ensure your brushes are clean and dry. Apply shades in thin, buildable layers and use a clean, fluffy brush for seamless blending. If the issue persists, verify that your primer application is smooth and not too thick, as this can affect blendability.
