For the latest information, it is recommended to review the ingredient list printed on the packaging of the product prior to usage or consumption.

Each palette has two columns of eyeshadows that are designed to work together. All shades can also be mixed and matched for infinite looks. The palettes include get-the-look instructions for three looks: Fresh Faced, Professional Polish and Drawn to Drama.

For an everyday eyeshadow look: Prep eyelids with a primer from the eyelid to brow bone for an extra smooth application. Apply the colour of your choice to the eyelids. If using more than one colour, gently blend together upwards and outwards. Layer until your desired look is achieved.

For a dramatic smoky eyeshadow look: Prep eyelids with a primer from the eyelid to brow bone for an extra smooth application. Sweep the lightest colours in the palette across the entire eyelid area, including the crease and brow bone. Blend a deeper matte or satin colour from the outer corner of the eye up into the crease area. Blend until colour is soft and diffused but still noticeable. Line eyelids with a dark eyeliner and blend upward with your fingers or a brush. Then, pat the darkest and/or metallic shades in the palette directly onto the eyelid close to the lash line, blending towards the inner and outer corners. This area should blend into the crease. Deepen the look by applying more product in layers.
