Using this eye shadow is easy. First, if you want more intense and long - lasting colors, apply the Kryolan Eye Shadow Primer on your eyelids. Then, take an eyeshadow brush and gently pick up the powder from the palette. You can apply it dry for a soft look. Blend the colors together to create a smokey effect or use them individually for a more simple style. Remember, you can build up the color for a more vivid result. When it comes to maintenance, keep the eye - shadow set in a cool, dry place. Make sure the lid is tightly closed after each use to prevent the powder from drying out or getting contaminated. And always use clean brushes to avoid any potential infections or product damage.
