At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
This eyeshadow palette is for anyone wanting to create a range of romantic, sunset-hued eye looks, from simple daily definition to sparkling evening glamour. The 'Picnic by the Sunset' color story features warm mauve, pink, and brown shades that are beginner-friendly and versatile.
- What it is: A 10-pan eyeshadow palette with matte, shimmer, and glitter finishes.
- Who it's for: Ideal for those who enjoy warm, rosy, and brown neutral eyeshadows. Suitable for beginners and experienced users alike.
- What to expect: Good color payoff with a soft, blendable texture. Shimmers are smooth, and glitters add a pop of sparkle. Some powder fallout can be expected, especially with glitter shades.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Prime Eyelids: Apply a thin layer of eye primer to create a smooth base and prevent creasing.
- Apply Eyeshadow: Use a fluffy brush to apply a matte shade all over the lid. Add a deeper matte shade to the crease for definition. Pat a shimmer or glitter onto the center of the lid with your fingertip for a pop of light.
- Define: Complete your look with eyeliner and mascara.
Note: Already own a similar shade? Finish that first to be mindful of consumption (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
Eyeshadow is the creative step in your morning makeup routine. Here’s where it fits:
- Skincare & Sunscreen: Complete your full morning skincare routine, finishing with SPF 30+. Allow sunscreen to set for at least 1-2 minutes.
- Eye Primer: Apply a dedicated eye primer to ensure your eyeshadow lasts all day without creasing, especially in Mauritian humidity.
- Face Base (Optional Order): You can apply your foundation and concealer before or after eye makeup. Applying eye makeup first can make it easier to clean up any powder fallout.
- [THIS PRODUCT] Eyeshadow Application: Create your desired eye look.
- Finish: Apply eyeliner, mascara, and complete the rest of your makeup (blush, lips, etc.). A light mist of setting spray can lock everything in place.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Proper removal is the most important part of your evening routine when wearing makeup.
- Eye Makeup Removal: Soak a cotton pad with a dedicated eye makeup remover (like a bi-phase or oil-based formula). Press gently onto your closed eyelid for 10-15 seconds to dissolve the eyeshadow and mascara, then wipe away gently.
- First Cleanse (Oil Cleanser): Massage a cleansing oil or balm over your dry face to break down remaining makeup, sunscreen, and sebum.
- Second Cleanse (Water-Based Cleanser): Lather a foam or gel cleanser and wash your face to remove any remaining residue.
- Skincare Routine: Proceed with your regular evening skincare steps (toner, serum, moisturizer).
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Daily Use — AM:
- Amount: A small amount of powder on your brush is all you need. Tap off any excess before applying to your eyelid to prevent fallout.
- Apply to: Eyelids, from lash line to brow bone, depending on the look.
-
Method for a Simple Look:
- Use a fluffy brush to apply a light matte shade as a base across the entire eyelid.
- With a smaller, denser brush, apply a medium matte shade to the outer corner and crease of your eye, blending inwards.
- Use your fingertip to press a shimmer or glitter shade onto the center of your mobile lid for a highlight effect.
- Use a small angled brush with the darkest shade to create a soft eyeliner along your lash line.
- Frequency: Suitable for daily use.
Makeup Tips (No Pilling):
- Wait for Skincare to Absorb: Ensure your eye cream and sunscreen are fully absorbed before applying an eye primer. A sticky base can cause pilling.
- Primer is Key: An eye primer creates a barrier between your skin’s natural oils and the eyeshadow, preventing creasing and making colors appear more vibrant.
- Pat, Don't Rub: When applying shimmer and glitter shades, pat them onto the lid with a flat brush or your finger instead of rubbing. This minimizes fallout and maximizes sparkle.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
As a makeup product, this palette can be used daily. Here are some ideas for different looks throughout the week:
- Weekday Look (Mon-Fri): Use the light and medium matte shades for a simple, defined eye that is office-appropriate. A soft swipe of shimmer on the lid can add a touch of brightness.
- Evening Look (e.g., Friday Night): Build upon your daytime look by adding the deeper brown or mauve shades to the outer corner for a smokey effect. Press one of the glitter shades onto the center of the lid for a dramatic, light-catching finish.
- Weekend Look (Sat-Sun): Play with the brighter pink and coral tones for a fun, casual look. Experiment with an all-shimmer look or use the glitter as a sparkling liner.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate: You will see color payoff upon the first application. The matte shades provide a soft, velvety finish, while the shimmers and glitters deliver immediate sparkle and dimension. The powders should feel smooth and blendable.
- Throughout the Day: When used over an eye primer, the eyeshadow should remain vibrant and resist creasing for up to 8+ hours, even in warm weather. Without a primer, those with oilier eyelids may notice some fading or creasing after a few hours.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why use an eye primer, not just concealer? While concealer can even out the skin tone on your lid, it's not formulated to control oil or grip onto powder eyeshadows. This often leads to faster creasing and muddy-looking colors. A dedicated eye primer is designed with a slightly tacky, oil-absorbing formula that locks eyeshadow in place, ensuring your look stays fresh and vibrant all day, which is especially important in Mauritius's climate.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
-
Works Well With:
- Eye Primer: Essential for longevity, preventing creasing, and enhancing color vibrancy.
- Setting Spray: Helps to meld the powder eyeshadow with your skin and lock the entire look in place for extended wear.
- Eyeliner (Gel, Pencil, Liquid): Can be applied over the eyeshadow to define the lash line. The darkest matte shades in the palette can also be used as a soft powder eyeliner.
- Mascara: The final touch to complete any eye look.
-
Use Carefully With:
- Heavy Eye Creams: Applying a very rich, oily eye cream right before makeup can cause the eyeshadow to slide or crease. Allow eye cream to fully absorb before applying primer.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- All Skin Types: This product is suitable for all skin types.
- Oily Eyelids: If you have oily eyelids, using an eyeshadow primer is highly recommended to prevent the eyeshadow from creasing and fading throughout the day.
- Dry or Mature Skin: The matte formulas are finely milled and should not over-emphasize texture. For best results, ensure the eyelid is well-hydrated with an eye cream before applying primer and shadow.
- Sensitive Skin: Generally well-tolerated, but a patch test is always advised if you have known sensitivities to colorants or other makeup ingredients.

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: Eyeshadow is creasing or fading.
- Fix: Apply a dedicated eyeshadow primer before your eyeshadow. In Mauritius's humid climate, this step is essential to control oil and lock the color in place. Set the primer with a light dusting of translucent powder before applying colors.
-
Issue: The glitter shades have a lot of fallout.
- Fix: Apply glitter shades with your fingertip in a pressing motion, or use a flat synthetic brush sprayed with a bit of setting spray. This helps the particles adhere better to the lid. It's also helpful to do your eye makeup before your face makeup so you can easily clean up any fallen glitter.
-
Issue: The colors look muddy or don't blend well.
- Fix: Use clean brushes for each color group (e.g., one for light shades, one for dark). Blend using a clean, fluffy brush with a light hand in windshield-wiper motions. Applying a neutral base shade all over the lid first can create a smoother canvas for blending.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Summers: Eyeshadow longevity is a challenge in high humidity. Using an eyeshadow primer is non-negotiable to prevent creasing and melting. Consider setting your final look with a makeup setting spray to improve wear time.
- Drier Winters/AC Environments: While less humid, indoor air conditioning can be drying. Ensure your delicate eyelid skin is hydrated with a good eye cream before your makeup routine to prevent the powder from looking cakey or emphasizing texture.
- Overall: The warm, sunset-inspired color story of this palette beautifully complements the Mauritian landscape and is suitable for year-round wear. The key to success is in the preparation (primer) and finishing (setting spray) steps.
