How to Use Mineral 3D Eyeshadow for a Dimensional Look

Quick answer

To use Mineral 3D Eyeshadow for a dimensional look, apply the lighter shade as a base, then build depth with the darker shade in the crease and outer corner, blending well for a seamless gradient.

How to apply Mineral 3D Eyeshadow for a dimensional look

1. Prep your eyelid: Apply an eyeshadow primer or a thin layer of concealer to your lid. This gives the mineral powder a smooth base to adhere to and prevents creasing. Skipping primer can cause the shadow to fade or settle into fine lines within a few hours.
2. Apply the lighter shade as a base: Using a flat eyeshadow brush, pat the lighter shade (Layered Brown or Layered Rose) all over your lid from lash line to crease. Focus the color on the center of the lid for maximum 3D effect. Don't swipe the brush; patting deposits more pigment and reduces fallout.
3. Define the crease with the darker shade: Switch to a fluffy blending brush. Dip into the same shade (the palette has only one shade, but you can use it for both lid and crease by applying less product and blending more). Apply to the outer V and crease in windshield-wiper motions. A common mistake is applying too much product at once. Start with a light hand and build gradually.
4. Blend the edges: Use a clean fluffy brush to blend the crease color outward and upward, softening any harsh lines. This creates a seamless transition that mimics natural shadow and depth. Blending too aggressively can muddy the color. Use light, circular motions instead.
5. Add final dimension (optional): For extra pop, dab a tiny bit of the same shade onto the center of your lid using your fingertip. The warmth of your finger intensifies the 3D effect. Avoid using a wet brush; the mineral formula is designed for dry application to maintain its dimensional finish.
