How to use

Select the brush that matches your intended step: use the shading or medium shadow brush to lay base color, and the essential or defining crease brushes to blend and soften transition shades in the crease. Use the definer brush to create straight lines or precise shapes on the lid, and the smudge brush to blur liner along the lash line. The fine liner brush is suitable for crisp liquid or gel liner application, while the lash separator helps remove mascara clumps and define lashes. Use light, controlled strokes for buildable pigment and blend between steps for a seamless finish.

Usage recommendations

Clean brushes regularly with a brush cleansing gel or spray to maintain bristle condition and ensure even application. Store brushes upright or flat in a dry place and rinse thoroughly after using cream products to prevent residue buildup. Match brush selection to product texture: use medium and shading brushes for base shadows, crease and defining brushes for blending and shaping, and the fine liner for detail work.
