To use this eyeshadow palette, first choose the colors you like according to your makeup style. Apply a light - colored eyeshadow all over your eyelid as a base. Then, use a darker shade to line your eyes or create a smoky effect. When using, make sure your brushes are clean to avoid color mixing. After each use, close the palette tightly to keep the eyeshadows dry and prevent them from drying out or getting dirty. Also, avoid exposing the palette to direct sunlight or high - humidity environments.
