AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
For a complete makeup routine, apply your eyeshadow in this order:
- Minimalist (4 steps): 1) Skincare & Sunscreen โ 2) Eye Primer โ 3) [THIS PRODUCT] โ 4) Eyeliner & Mascara.
- Full Routine (Optional): Apply this eyeshadow after your base makeup (foundation/concealer) if you're confident with fallout control, or apply it before your base makeup to allow for easy cleanup of any glitter specks.
- Pro Tip: To make the glitter shades pop and last all day, apply them with a finger or a slightly damp brush after your matte shadows are blended.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use โ AM/PM:
- Amount: A small amount on an eyeshadow brush is all you need. The pigments are buildable. For glitters, a gentle tap with your fingertip picks up the perfect amount.
- Apply to: Eyelids, from the lash line up to the crease. Darker shades can be used along the lash line as a soft liner.
-
Method for a Simple Romantic Look:
- Take a fluffy brush and apply a light matte shade (e.g., Nude Sunset) all over the eyelid as a base.
- With a smaller blending brush, apply a medium matte shade (e.g., Pink Muhly or Romantic Place) into the crease and outer corner to add depth.
- Using your fingertip, press a glitter shade (e.g., Pic of the Day) onto the center of your eyelid for a sparkling highlight.
- Use a small, dense brush to apply a dark matte shade (e.g., Midnight Date) along the upper lash line to define your eyes.
If-This / Then-That:
- Oily eyelids? Always start with an eye primer to prevent creasing and fading in the Mauritian humidity.
- Want more sparkle? Apply the glitter shades over a glitter glue or a sticky primer for maximum impact and minimal fallout.
- Eyes appear tired? Use one of the light shimmer shades on the inner corner of your eye to instantly brighten and awaken your look.
Makeup Tips (No Pilling) (how to ensure a smooth finish)
- Prime Time: Apply a thin layer of eye primer and let it set for a minute. This creates a smooth canvas, prevents creasing, and makes the colors appear more vibrant.
- Fallout First: To avoid glitter fallout on your foundation, do your eye makeup *before* your face makeup. You can easily wipe away any stray sparkles with a makeup wipe before applying foundation and concealer.
- Tap, Don't Rub: When applying shadow, gently tap the brush on the lid to deposit color, then use soft sweeping motions to blend. This reduces fallout and creates a seamless gradient.
- Finger Application for Glitters: For the most intense sparkle and best adhesion, press the glitter and shimmer shades onto your eyelid with your fingertip. The warmth of your skin helps the particles melt onto the lid.
Skin Type Compatibility (who it's for) (best fits and cautions)
- All Skin Types: Generally suitable for everyone.
- Oily Skin: An eye primer is highly recommended to ensure the eyeshadow lasts all day without creasing or fading due to excess oil.
- Sensitive Skin / Eyes: The formulas are soft, but as with any eye makeup, patch testing is advised. Be cautious with glitter shades if you have very sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses, as particles can sometimes cause irritation if they get into the eye.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve) (functional benefits)
- Versatile Eye Looks: The mix of 9 shades allows for everything from a simple, one-color wash for daytime to a multi-dimensional, romantic look for evenings.
- Dull or Flat Eyes: The combination of mattes for depth and glitters for light-reflection adds dimension and makes eyes appear brighter and more defined.
- Achieving K-Beauty Aesthetics: The soft, warm color story is perfect for creating popular Korean makeup looks, from "soft glam" to "daily romance."

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions) (how to use safely)
- Who should use with caution: Individuals with very sensitive eyes or those who wear contact lenses should be mindful of glitter fallout. Applying a glitter primer first can help minimize particles entering the eye.
- Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of a matte and a glitter shadow to a discreet area, such as behind your ear or on your inner elbow. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of redness or irritation.

- pH: Not applicable for a powder product.
- Comedogenicity Caveat: The formula contains talc. While generally considered non-comedogenic for most, individuals highly sensitive to talc should be aware. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: Colors don't look vibrant on my skin.
- Quick Fix: Apply an eyeshadow primer first. For shimmers and glitters, apply over a sticky base or with a dampened brush to intensify the pigment and shine.
-
Issue: The glitter shades have fallout.
- Quick Fix: Apply glitter shades by pressing them onto the lid with your fingertip instead of sweeping with a brush. Alternatively, do your eye makeup before your foundation to easily clean up any stray particles.
-
Issue: Eyeshadow is creasing by the end of the day.
- Quick Fix: This is common with oily eyelids, especially in Mauritian humidity. An eye primer is the best solution. It will create a barrier that prevents oil from breaking down the eyeshadow.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice) (humidity and sun)
- Humid Summers & Mild Winters: The warm, romantic color story is beautiful year-round in Mauritius. However, the high heat and humidity make an eyeshadow primer an essential first step to prevent creasing and ensure your look lasts all day.
- AC/Indoor Air: No significant adjustments needed for indoor wear. The formula is not drying.
- Sun Exposure: This is a color cosmetic and does not provide sun protection. Always wear a separate SPF around the eye area. The shimmery shades will catch the sunlight beautifully.
Authenticity & How to Verify (our sourcing guarantee) (buy with confidence)
- Sourcing: At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. This product is sourced directly from authorized distributors in South Korea.
- Packaging Cues: Look for the official Etude branding, high-quality printing, and a batch code printed on the packaging. The palette should feel sturdy and close securely.
- Verification: If you have any doubts about the authenticity of your product, please contact us on WhatsApp at +230 5 778 2336 with a photo, and we will be happy to verify it for you.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts) (budgeting your beauty)
A little goes a long way with powder eyeshadows. This palette contains 9 shades at 0.7g each, for a total of 6.3g of product.
- Estimated Uses: With daily use, a single palette can easily last for over a year, providing hundreds of applications.
- Reorder Cadence: Most users will not need to repurchase for at least 12-24 months, depending on frequency of use. You are more likely to replace it due to the Period After Opening (PAO) expiring than from running out of product.

โ Dodo Skin customer review (Feb 2024)
Fair Caveat: One user on Reddit noted that on their specific skin tone, the coral shades pulled more orange than pink. The final look can vary depending on your undertone, so it's a good idea to look at swatches on skin tones similar to yours.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered) (common queries)
- How do I make the glitter shades stay on all day?
- For best results, apply the glitter shades with your fingertip by pressing them onto the lid. This uses the warmth of your skin to help them adhere. For maximum longevity, apply over a dedicated glitter primer or a slightly tacky concealer base.
- Is this palette good for beginners?
- Yes, absolutely. The matte shades are known to be soft and blendable, making them very user-friendly. The mix of textures allows beginners to experiment with simple matte looks before adding shimmers and glitters as they gain confidence.
- Are the colors suitable for darker skin tones?
- The warm, rosy, and brown tones are generally flattering on a wide range of skin tones. The pigmentation is buildable, which means you can layer the colors to achieve the desired intensity. We recommend looking up swatches on social media from creators with a similar skin tone to yours to get the best idea of how the colors will appear.
- Can I use these eyeshadows wet?
- You can use the shimmer and glitter shades with a brush dampened with setting spray to create a more intense, metallic, or foiled effect. It's generally not recommended to use the matte shades wet as it can sometimes cause a hard pan to form on the powder.

- Key Benefits: Versatile mix of matte, shimmer, and glitter finishes. Buildable pigmentation suitable for beginners. Compact and travel-friendly.
