Anastasia Beverly Hills Rose Metals Palette

Store your palette in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity. Ensure the lid is securely closed after each use to protect the integrity of the powders and prevent dust accumulation.

While the mattes are designed for dry application, the high-reflect shimmer shades can often be used wet (with a damp brush or setting spray) to achieve a more intense, foiled metallic finish. Always test a small amount first.

For mattes, fluffy blending brushes are ideal for seamless transitions. For packing on shimmer shades, a flat, dense synthetic brush or your fingertip will yield the best results. A small detail brush is also useful for precise application in the inner corner or along the lash line.

While Anastasia Beverly Hills products are formulated with quality ingredients, individual sensitivities vary. It is always recommended to check the ingredient list for known allergens and perform a patch test on a small area of skin before full application if you have sensitive eyes or skin.

To prevent creasing, always apply a dedicated eyeshadow primer to your eyelids before applying any eyeshadow. Set the primer with a light layer of translucent powder or a matte nude shadow for an extra smooth, long-lasting base.

Typically, powder eyeshadows have a shelf life of 12-24 months after opening, indicated by the 'PAO' (Period After Opening) symbol on the packaging, usually a small open jar icon with a number followed by 'M' (e.g., '24M'). Discard if you notice changes in texture, scent, or performance.

Ensure you are using an eyeshadow primer before application. A primer creates an even base, enhances color, and significantly improves longevity. Also, try layering a translucent powder or a matte nude shadow over your primer to create a smooth canvas for blending.

For maximum shimmer impact, apply these shades with your fingertip. The warmth from your skin helps to melt and adhere the product better. Alternatively, use a flat, synthetic brush lightly dampened with a setting spray to pick up and press the shimmer onto the lid.

Start with a small amount of product and build up intensity gradually. Use clean, fluffy blending brushes and apply in circular motions with light pressure. Ensure your eyelid is properly prepped and smooth; a patchy primer can also lead to patchy eyeshadow. If using mattes, try blending lighter shades first, then gradually adding deeper tones.

To minimize fallout, tap off excess product from your brush before applying. For shimmers, press the product onto the lid rather than sweeping. You can also apply your eye makeup before your base foundation to easily clean up any fallen particles without disturbing your complexion makeup.
