At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Looking to add a touch of sparkle to your eyes? The ETUDE Look at My Eyes in #Fantastic Sparkle is a pressed single glitter eyeshadow designed for a dazzling, high-impact finish. It's a beginner-friendly way to experiment with glitter without the mess of loose pigments. Best applied with a fingertip for maximum payoff, it adds a brilliant shimmer to any look, from a simple lid accent to a dramatic smoky eye topper.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prep: Apply a thin layer of eye primer to clean lids to ensure grip and prevent creasing.
- Apply [THIS PRODUCT]: Gently tap the glitter onto your eyelid with your fingertip.
- Finish: Add mascara and eyeliner to complete the look.
Note: For easiest cleanup, apply your eye makeup before your foundation and concealer.
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
This is a makeup product for your morning routine, applied after skincare and sunscreen.
- Minimalist Makeup (3-4 steps): 1) Sunscreen β 2) Eye Primer (Optional but recommended) β 3) [THIS PRODUCT] β 4) Mascara/Eyeliner.
- Full Makeup Routine: Apply after your base skincare and sunscreen. It's best practice to apply eye makeup before your foundation, concealer, and powder. This allows you to easily wipe away any glitter fallout without disturbing your face makeup.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Proper removal is key, especially with glitter, to avoid eye irritation.
- Minimalist (2 steps): 1) Eye Makeup Remover (saturate a cotton pad and hold on the eye for 30 seconds to dissolve glitter) β 2) Gentle Face Cleanser (to wash away any remaining residue).
- Double Cleanse (Recommended): 1) Oil Cleanser or Cleansing Balm (gently massage over closed eyes to break down makeup and glitter) β 2) Water-Based Cleanser (wash face as normal to remove all traces of oil and makeup).
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Amount: A small amount is enough. Build up in thin layers for more intensity.
- Apply to: Eyelids. Use as a single color, a topper over other eyeshadows, or as a highlight on the center of the lid or inner corner.
- Method: The best method for pressed glitter is to use your fingertip. The warmth and natural oils on your finger pick up the pigment and glitter particles effectively and press them onto the lid with minimal fallout. A dense, flat synthetic brush can also be used in a patting motion. Do not swipe or sweep the glitter, as this will cause fallout.
- Frequency: Can be used daily or for special occasions.
If-This / Then-That:
- If you have oily eyelids: An eye primer is non-negotiable to prevent creasing and fading.
- To minimize fallout: Place a tissue or powder puff under your eye to catch stray glitter particles, or apply your eye makeup before your face makeup.
- For a more intense, foiled look: Spray a flat brush with a setting spray before dipping into the eyeshadow.
Safety: Avoid direct contact with eyes. If glitter enters the eye, rinse thoroughly with water. Do not rub. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Not recommended for use on the waterline. Safe for most contact lens wearers, but apply with care to prevent particles from getting under the lens.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why this, not that craft glitter? Never use craft glitter near your eyes. It is often made of plastic or metal with sharp edges that can cause serious corneal scratches and eye infections. Cosmetic-grade glitter like that in ETUDE eyeshadows is specifically milled to be rounder and safer for use on the delicate eye area.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Eye Primer: Essential for longevity and preventing creasing, especially on oily lids.
- Glitter Primer / Sticky Base: For maximum adherence and zero fallout, a dedicated glitter primer is excellent.
- Matte Eyeshadows: Use a matte eyeshadow in the crease to add dimension before tapping this glitter onto the lid for a pop of sparkle.
- Setting Spray: Applied to a brush before application, it can intensify the glitter. Applied over the finished look, it helps lock everything in place.
-
Use Carefully With:
- Face Makeup: To avoid ruining your foundation with glitter fallout, always apply eye makeup first. This allows you to clean up any stray sparkles with a makeup wipe or tape before applying your concealer and foundation.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
Suitable for all skin types. However, performance can vary based on lid type:
- Oily Eyelids: An eye primer is essential to prevent the shadow from creasing and melting away due to natural oils.
- Dry Eyelids: Ensure the lid is hydrated with a light eye cream (let it absorb fully) before applying primer to ensure a smooth application.
- Sensitive Eyes: While generally safe, glitter particles can be irritating if they get into the eye. Apply with care and remove thoroughly. Patch test on your arm if you have known sensitivities to colorants.

- Adding high-impact sparkle and dimension to eye makeup.

- Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate / Calcium Titanium Borosilicate: These are synthetic mineral-based ingredients that create a highly reflective, sparkly, and glittery effect. They provide a more intense shimmer than mica alone.
- Mica & Talc: These minerals form the base of the eyeshadow, helping with its texture, application, and providing a smooth feel.
- Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891): A white pigment that provides opacity and can also contribute to the brightness of the shimmer.
- Phenyl Trimethicone / Dimethicone: Silicones that give the eyeshadow a silky, smooth texture, help it adhere to the skin, and provide a long-lasting finish.
Full INCI (Representative Example - Shade #PK001)
CALCIUM ALUMINUM BOROSILICATE, CAPRYLIC/CAPRIC TRIGLYCERIDE, CALCIUM TITANIUM BOROSILICATE, TALC, MICA, PHENYL TRIMETHICONE, NYLON-12, BIS-DIGLYCERYL POLYACYLADIPATE-2, MAGNESIUM MYRISTATE, DIMETHICONE, TITANIUM DIOXIDE (CI 77891), ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, MAGNESIUM STEARATE, SILICA, PROPANEDIOL, SYNTHETIC FLUORPHLOGOPITE, TRIETHOXYCAPRYLYLSILANE, TIN OXIDE, WATER.

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
- Who should use with caution: Individuals with very sensitive eyes, those prone to eye infections, or contact lens wearers should apply glitter products carefully to prevent particles from entering the eye. This product has not been officially declared "Ophthalmologist Tested."
- Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the eyeshadow to your inner arm. Assess the area at 24 and 48 hours for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If a reaction occurs, do not use the product on your eyes.
- If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If glitter enters the eye and causes persistent irritation, rinse with sterile saline solution and consult a doctor if discomfort continues.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: A pressed powder shadow with a high concentration of fine to medium glitter particles. It can feel slightly gritty to the touch compared to a matte or satin shadow but applies smoothly when patted on.
- Finish: High-sparkle, glittery, and multidimensional.
- Scent: None.
- pH: Not applicable for a powder product.
- Comedogenicity: While the eyeshadow base itself is generally non-comedogenic, ensure thorough removal to prevent any potential for clogged pores around the eye area. Individual responses vary.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: Glitter fallout during application.
- Quick Fix: Apply with a fingertip using a pressing motion instead of a brush. Alternatively, do your eye makeup before your face makeup to allow for easy cleanup of stray particles with a makeup wipe or piece of tape.
-
Issue: Eyeshadow creases or fades quickly.
- Quick Fix: Always use an eyeshadow primer. This is especially important for oily or hooded eyelids. A primer creates a smooth, grippy base that locks the shadow in place for hours.
-
Issue: The glitter doesn't look as sparkly on the eye as it does in the pan.
- Quick Fix: Apply over a glitter primer or a slightly damp (with setting spray) flat brush. This helps the glitter particles adhere better and reflect more light.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summers: The high humidity in Mauritius can sometimes cause eyeshadow to crease more quickly due to increased sweat and oil production. A reliable eyeshadow primer is essential. The sparkle of this eyeshadow is perfect for festive occasions and evening events, catching the light beautifully.
- Drier Winters: The eyeshadow will perform well. Ensure your eyelids are moisturized before primer application to avoid a dry or crepey appearance.
- AC/Indoor Air: No specific issues. A primer will ensure longevity regardless of indoor climate conditions.

Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)
A single 1.9g eyeshadow, especially a glitter shade used as a topper or accent, lasts a very long time. With regular use (a few times a week), this product can easily last over a year. A little goes a long way to create a high-impact look, offering excellent value.

Genuine Community Experiences (unbiased, real-user feedback)
Note: These are aggregated sentiments from online communities and represent individual experiences, not clinical outcomes.
On Sparkle & Application: "This is my holy grail pearl eyeshadow! As someone who loves sparkly, blingy shimmer, this product really won me over... When applied as a base on the eyelids and on the aegyo sal (under-eye area), it looks absolutely stunning!" - Hwahae review (2017)
On Fallout: A common point of feedback is that glitter eyeshadows from this line can have fallout. One user noted, "Unfortunately, there's a lot of excess fallout and the glitter tends to flake off. Whether using fingers or a brush, it scatters everywhere. The best method is to gently tap it on once." - Hwahae review (date not specified)
A Fair Caveat (Fragility): Several users mention that the eyeshadows can be fragile. "It breaks easily and even after repairing it, it shatters again without much effort. That's really the only downside I can think of." Another added, "As expected, Etude House eyeshadows are excellent in every aspect except for their fragile packaging." - Hwahae reviews (dates not specified)

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- How do I stop glitter from getting all over my face?
- The best way is to apply your eye makeup before your face makeup. This allows you to use a makeup wipe or tape to clean up any fallout without disturbing your foundation. Applying with a fingertip in a patting motion also minimizes fallout compared to a fluffy brush.
- Is this safe for sensitive eyes?
- The product uses cosmetic-grade glitter, which is safer than craft glitter. However, any loose particle can cause irritation if it enters the eye. This product has not been officially "Ophthalmologist Tested." If you have highly sensitive eyes, you may prefer a shimmer or satin-finish shadow over a chunky glitter. Always remove it gently and thoroughly at night.
- Do I need a special glitter glue for this?
- A dedicated glitter glue will provide the most intense, long-lasting wear with zero fallout. However, for most uses, a good quality eyeshadow primer will be sufficient to help this pressed glitter adhere well.
