Using this ETUDE 9 - color eye shadow palette is a breeze. First, start with a light - colored shade as a base across your entire eyelid to create a smooth canvas. Then, use the deeper brown tones to line your eyes and add depth in the crease. Blend well for a natural look. When applying, use a high - quality eyeshadow brush for the best results. Remember to close the palette tightly after use to keep the eyeshadows fresh. Avoid getting water or moisture into the palette as it can affect the texture and quality of the eyeshadows. If any powder gets on your skin, simply wipe it off gently with a tissue.
