Key ingredients and their functions

  • Dimethicone - skin conditioning agent

How it works

The product works primarily by using Isododecane to create a smooth and emollient base on the eyelids, ensuring ease of eyeshadow application. Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone enhance the texture, allowing the primer to glide smoothly and condition the skin. Disteardimonium Hectorite acts as a thickening agent, stabilizing the formulation. Vp/Eicosene Copolymer and Cera Alba contribute to forming a film that helps adhere eyeshadow in place, giving it a long-lasting effect. Tocopheryl Acetate serves as an antioxidant, potentially protecting the skin's surface. Mica adds a subtle textural effect, contributing to the vibrant appearance of eyeshadows.
