The Eunarz Five Colors Eyeshadow Palette offers several benefits, making it a versatile and functional choice for makeup enthusiasts.
1. Highly Pigmented & Vibrant Colors
- Contains iron oxides (CI 77491, 77492, 77499), manganese violet (CI 77742), and other colorants for rich, long-lasting shades.
- Some variants include pearlized pigments (Calcium Aluminum Borosilicate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite) for shimmer and metallic finishes.
2. Smooth & Blendable Texture
- Talc, silica, and magnesium stearate ensure a soft, velvety application without patchiness.
- Dimethicone and synthetic waxes enhance glide and blendability, preventing fallout.
3. Long-Lasting Wear
- Aluminum starch octenylsuccinate helps lock color in place and resist fading.
- Silicones (Triethoxycaprylylsilane, Methicone) improve adherence to eyelids, reducing creasing.
4. Versatile Finishes (Matte, Shimmer, Metallic)
- Some shades have matte bases (iron oxides, titanium dioxide).
- Others include light-reflective particles (mica, tin oxide, borosilicates) for glittery or satin effects.
5. Lightweight & Comfortable
- Caprylic/capric triglyceride (a coconut-derived emollient) prevents a heavy or cakey feel.
- Silica absorbs excess oil, making it ideal for oily eyelids.
6. Travel-Friendly & Compact
- The 5-color palette is convenient for on-the-go touch-ups or creating multiple looks (neutral, smoky, bold).
7. Suitable for Sensitive Skin
- Fragrance-free (no added perfumes).
- Phenoxyethanol is a mild preservative (less irritating than parabens).
⚠️ Potentially Problematic Ingredients for Sensitive Skin
1. Synthetic Dyes (CI Pigments)
- Concerning Ones:
- CI 77491, 77492, 77499 (Iron Oxides) – Generally safe but may cause reactions in rare cases.
- CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide) – Usually safe but can be drying.
- CI 19140 (Yellow 5 Lake), CI 15850 (Red 7 Lake) – Synthetic dyes that may irritate very sensitive or allergy-prone skin.
- Reaction Risk: Low (but possible for dye-sensitive skin).
2. Silicones (Dimethicone, Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone)
- Why? Can trap bacteria/sweat, leading to clogged pores or milia (tiny bumps) in some people.
- Reaction Risk: Low (but avoid if you’re acne-prone).
3. Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate
- Why? A drying agent that may cause tightness or flaking in dry/sensitive skin.
- Reaction Risk: Moderate (if skin is already dry).
4. Phenoxyethanol (Preservative)
- Why? A mild preservative, but some people develop redness or stinging (especially around eyes).
- Reaction Risk: Low (but possible for preservative-sensitive skin).
Best For:
