MAC Small Eye Shadow - Shale

Yes, the MAC Small Eye Shadow is ophthalmologist tested and has been confirmed safe for use by individuals who wear contact lenses.

For maximum color payoff, use a dense, flat brush and pat the product onto your eyelid. For an even more intense, metallic, or foiled look, lightly dampen your brush with water or a setting spray before picking up the product.

This eyeshadow is formulated for long-lasting wear, staying put for up to eight hours without running or creasing, especially when applied over an eye primer.

Yes, it is dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested, as well as non-acnegenic, making it suitable for sensitive skin and eyes.

Absolutely. For a precise eyeliner, simply dampen a thin, angled brush and pick up the eyeshadow. Apply along your lash line for a soft or dramatic defined look.

'Non-acnegenic' means the product is specifically formulated not to clog pores or contribute to the formation of acne. This ensures it won't cause breakouts in the skin around the eye area.

To maintain its quality and texture, store your eyeshadow in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Ensure your brush is clean and pick up sufficient product. For more intense color, try applying the shadow with a slightly dampened brush (wet application). Using an eye primer beforehand will also significantly boost vibrancy and color payoff.

Always apply an eye primer before eyeshadow, especially if you have oily eyelids. Ensure your eyelids are clean and dry before applying any product. Avoid applying excessively thick layers; build up color gradually for better adhesion and longevity.

Use a clean, fluffy blending brush with light, circular motions. Start with a small amount of product and build up. Blend frequently as you apply, before the product has a chance to fully set, to ensure seamless transitions.

Tap off any excess product from your brush before applying to the eyelid. Gently press, rather than sweep, the shadow onto the lid. For highly pigmented or shimmery shades, consider doing your eye makeup before your face makeup so you can easily clean up any fallout.

Although ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested, if irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately. Check for any personal sensitivities to ingredients. Always ensure your makeup brushes are clean to prevent bacterial transfer, which can cause irritation.
