1. Select your preferred pressed powders and place them neatly in the palette, where the magnets will hold them in place.
2. Sort and arrange your pressed powders to your liking, whether that’s by type, color, or frequency of use to create a personalized makeup collection. The magnetic base makes it easy to mix and match products as needed.
Pro Tip: We recommend putting lighter pressed powder shades with other lighter shades. This will help to prevent powder dust from changing the true color of the lighter colors. Alternatively, you can intentionally mix shades by putting 2 pans next to each other and swirling your brush over both colors.
3. Use these pressed powders with Red Aspen makeup brushes. Detailed eyeshadow techniques, eye makeup, bronzer, matte highlight, and blush techniques can be found in our Product Training Page.
4. For easy storage, close the palette, and swap or replace pans as needed. Clean the palette as needed.
5. Removing the palettes is easy. Each magnetic tray has an empty circle at the bottom right corner of the palette, and this designated spot provides space to easily lift the first pan. From there, use a small tool like a makeup spatula or a pair of tweezers to gently lift the pressed powder pan and remove it from the magnetic base. Always want to begin at the designated spot to avoid damaging the palette or pans.
L is for Leveling your base: To begin, you’ll want to prime your eyelid with eyeshadow primer, concealer or setting powder. Using our Blending Brush (E54), sweep matte eyeshadow all over the lid and carry remaining product through the crease and up to the brow bone.
O is for Ombre in crease: Next, we want to create an ombre effect in your crease to give your look that perfectly blended finish. Use our Eyeshadow Crease Brush (E55) with a matte eyeshadow to blend eyeshadow in the crease, between the brow bone and lid space using windshield wiper motions.
V is for V in your outer V: Now it’s time to add definition to your look by defining the outer V of your eye with a matte eyeshadow. For a dramatic look, use our Eyeshadow Crease Brush (E55) in a stamping motion. For a softer blown out look, use our Eyeshadow Blending Brush (E54) in a circular motion.
E is for Enhancing your lid: Finally, we want to complete your eye by really enhancing your lid space. Select a matte or shimmer eyeshadow and press onto the lid using your fingertip or a Medium Eyeshadow Lid Brush (E56). Presto! Gorgeous, glammed-up eyes in no time!
