Loose or pressed: your favourite routine

The difference is how you pick up and store the powder. Build either formula in thin layers.

Loose eyeshadow

Loose mineral powder comes in a jar. Tip a little into the lid, pick it up with your brush and tap off the excess. Lovely if you enjoy controlling the amount and playing with pigments.

Pressed eyeshadow

Pick up pressed powder directly from the pan. Individual colours are refills for a magnetic makeup palette; the palette is sold separately.

SatinSubtle light reflection between matte and shimmer.
ShimmerA light-reflecting sheen, worn softly or built up.
GlitterVisible sparkle for a small accent or a party look.

A lovely eye look in three steps

  1. Pick up a little

    Start with a little eyeshadow and tap off your brush.

  2. Apply and blend

    Apply the colour lightly and soften the edges with a clean, soft brush.

  3. Build your look

    Add a thin layer where you want more colour or depth. Check the result as you go.

Which eyeshadow suits your routine?

A soft daytime look, a playful accent or a smoky eye: eyeshadow lets you choose how much definition to give your eyes. This collection includes loose mineral eyeshadow and pressed shades. Start with a colour you already enjoy, or combine a light base, a deeper shade and a reflective accent. Check each product page for the colour, undertone and finish; the shade name alone does not tell the whole story.

Loose or pressed eyeshadow: compare the textures

Loose mineral eyeshadow

Loose eyeshadow comes as fine powder in a pot. Dispense a small amount into the lid, pick it up with a brush and tap off excess. This lets you control the amount and build colour gradually. Take a little time to get used to dosing: too much powder at once can fall underneath your eyes.

Pressed eyeshadow

Pressed eyeshadow is powder set into a pan. Pick up the colour directly with your brush. It is practical for a quick routine and your own combination of shades in a magnetic palette. Before ordering, check whether the product is an individual colour, a refill or a complete palette.

Choose eyeshadow for your eye colour

Blue and grey eyes

Warm copper, peach, bronze and gold can create contrast with blue eyes. For grey eyes, you might also try taupe, pink or plum. A thin wash gives a softer result; a deeper brown in the outer corner adds definition.

Green eyes

Pink, mauve, purple and warm browns are lovely starting points for green eyes. A small accent may be enough. Prefer neutrals? Combine beige with taupe and add a deeper shade close to the lash line.

Brown and hazel eyes

Brown eyes offer plenty of possibilities, from soft earth tones, copper and gold to green, blue or purple. With hazel eyes, different colours can draw attention to different tones. These are ideas rather than fixed rules: your style, skin tone and the strength of the colour matter too.

Matte, satin, shimmer or glitter?

Matte eyeshadow adds colour without visible shine and works well for soft transitions and crease definition. Satin has a gentle sheen. Shimmer reflects light, while glitter sparkles more noticeably. Try a matte crease shade with a little shimmer on the mobile lid. Check the finish described for each colour, because reflective shades do not all have the same effect.

How to apply and blend eyeshadow

Start with clean eyelids. Pick up a little colour, tap your brush and press the powder onto the lid. Add a deeper shade to the outer corner, then soften the edge with a clean, soft brush. Build the next layer only after blending. With hooded eyes, look straight ahead with your eyes open between steps to see where the colour remains visible.

A base for your eye look

An eyeshadow primer can help create a more even base, particularly if colour tends to gather in your crease. Use a small amount and follow the directions. Wear also depends on your skin, skincare and the quantity of eyeshadow. A face primer is not automatically a primer for eyelids.

Choosing with sensitive eyes in mind

Check the ingredients for the particular shade if you want to avoid certain substances. Talc-free means there is no talc; it does not rule out irritation or an allergic reaction. Use clean brushes, keep powder out of your eyes and discontinue use if it feels uncomfortable. Build colour at your own pace and choose shades you enjoy wearing.

Complete your eye look with eyebrow powder. Compare loose and pressed shades and choose an undertone that works with your brow hairs.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between loose and pressed eyeshadow?

Loose eyeshadow is fine powder in a pot; pressed eyeshadow is set into a pan. Dispense loose powder into the lid first, while pressed colour is picked up directly. Both can be built in thin layers.

Which eyeshadow colours suit blue eyes?

Copper, peach, bronze and gold can create contrast with blue eyes. Beige or warm brown is a softer starting point. Choose colours you enjoy wearing as well.

Which eyeshadow colours suit green eyes?

Try pink, mauve, purple or warm browns. A thin wash or an accent near the lash line can be enough; you do not have to cover the whole lid in bright colour.

Which eyeshadow colours suit brown eyes?

Earth tones, copper and gold are useful starting points, but you can also try green, blue or purple. Compare the colours in daylight and build intensity gradually.

What is the difference between matte, shimmer and glitter?

Matte adds colour without visible shine. Shimmer reflects light, while glitter has more noticeably sparkling particles. Each product page describes the particular shade’s finish.

How do I blend eyeshadow without harsh lines?

Apply a little colour and soften the edge with a clean, soft brush. Use light movements and thin layers. A separate blending brush helps avoid adding more pigment while you blend.

How can I reduce powder falling under my eyes?

Pick up a small amount and tap the brush before pressing colour onto the lid. Dispense loose powder into the pot lid first. You can also apply eye make-up before foundation and gently remove powder fallout afterwards.

How do I apply eyeshadow to hooded eyes?

Look straight ahead with your eyes open and place a soft matte shade slightly above the natural crease where it remains visible. Blend gently and check between steps. Add a lighter accent on the mobile lid if you like.

Do I need an eyeshadow primer?

Not always. A primer for eyelids may help if colour applies unevenly or collects in the crease. Use a small amount and follow the directions; a face primer does not automatically have the same use.

Is talc-free eyeshadow automatically suitable for sensitive eyes?

No. Talc-free only describes the absence of talc. Check the ingredients of the particular shade if you have known sensitivities. Use clean brushes, keep powder out of your eyes and discontinue use if irritation occurs.

Can I create an eye look with just one eyeshadow?

Yes. A thin wash over the lid gives soft colour, and a little more of the same shade in the outer corner adds depth. A second lighter or darker colour gives extra contrast but is optional.

Does pressed eyeshadow come with a palette?

Check the chosen product description. An individual colour or refill is not automatically a complete palette. Compatible magnetic shades can be combined with a suitable magnetic palette.
