How do I use a 16-colour eyeshadow palette as a beginner?

Ignore most of it at first. Pick three shades: a light matte over the whole lid, a mid matte in the crease, and one deep shade at the outer corner. Add a shimmer on the centre of the lid last. Our palette guide for beginners shows the order.

Which eyeshadow shades suit Indian skin?

Warm browns, bronzes, coppers and plums sit naturally on wheatish and dusky skin. Very pale, cool shades work better as a small inner-corner highlight than across the lid.

Is this smudge-proof and long-wearing?

Yes — it’s built to resist smudging and last through the day. Apply on clean, oil-free lids and let it set for a few seconds before blinking so it doesn’t transfer to the crease. To make it last even longer, lightly press a matching black or neutral eyeshadow over the line — the powder sets the creamy formula so it grips far better. See our full kajal guide for step-by-step smudge-proof tips.

Is it safe for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?

It’s dermatologist-tested and made for daily wear. If you have sensitive eyes or wear contact lenses, line the upper lash line rather than the inner waterline, insert your lenses before applying, and remove gently each night with a mild eye-makeup remover. The full ingredient list is on this page so you can check the formula first, and stop use if you notice any irritation. More tips in our kajal guide.

How do I get a clean line or a smoky finish?

Start from the inner corner and draw along the upper lash line in short, light strokes, building intensity to taste. Keep it crisp for definition, or smudge gently with a brush for a soft, smoky look.

Is this cruelty-free and safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Every Metabu product is cruelty-free and dermatologist-tested, and formulated for Indian skin. Where a product page carries an ingredients section you can check the full list before you buy; for any product without one, message us on WhatsApp and we will send it.
