HOURGLASS Scattered Light Eyeshadow

It feels lightweight and airy. Upon application, it has a creamy, emollient texture that blends easily, then sets down to a powder finish that stays put without feeling heavy or sticky.

You can use either, but fingers are often best for maximum pigment payoff and control. Using a synthetic brush works well if you want a softer, more diffused wash of color.

Not at all. The formula uses refined micro-glitter and multi-faceted pearls, which create a smooth, sophisticated sparkle rather than a gritty, textured feel on the skin.

Because it dries down to a long-lasting, powder-like finish, it is designed to resist creasing. For those with oily lids, applying a light primer underneath can further ensure all-day wear.

It is highly buildable. You can pat on a single layer for a subtle, crystal-like shimmer or layer it up to achieve a more opaque, prismatic, and high-impact look.

The formula is free from parabens, sulfates, and phthalates, which makes it a cleaner option. However, as with any glitter-based product, if you have very sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses, apply carefully to avoid fallout.
