How do you handle fall out from eyeshadow? How do you clean up?
If it’s really bad, I generally use a makeup remover! If it’s not too bad, then I brush it away with a fluffy brush and usually foundation will cover any residual amount.

clean up with a foundation brush
I do eyes before applying foundation and powder. And usually I wipe the fallouts with makeup remover wipe.
I do this too.
How do you do this? I mean, I really want to know. I’ve tried to do it, but I’m scared concealer and foundation might ruin my carefully painted eyes. 🙁
i love using sephora shadw shields beforehand if i know im using sparkles and stuff like that… otherwise if its just a bit, a q tip with remover is fine =]
I assess the damage: a few flakes gets a fan brush and more gets a swipe of baby wipe. The fallout issue is why I don’t usually put foundation on first. If I have to, I put powder under my eyes to catch it so that I can sweep it away.
If its glittery fall out, I use a bit of scotch tape. If it’s regular eyeshadow,I either wipe it up with a baby wipe or makeup remover pad, or sweep it off with a brush, depending on severity. If it’s just a little bit of shimmer from a soft highlight shade, I let it go.
Scotch tape is such a good idea! Thanks!
wipe it off with a make up wipe and do my under eye concealer last. although if its just glitter i normally dont mind lol
Ok so I hate when I’m doing my eyeshadow and when I’m done my eyes I’m left with a bunch of glitter and color under my eyes. Because of this I started doing my eyes before putting on my foundation.
I usually wipe it away with a cotton ball.
Q-tip! I ‘roll’ it over the fallout very lightly…..works great!
Great idea! I’ll try that next time 😉
I do this too. Or, if I am darkening my eyes because I am going for a night event, I use moisturizer rather than make up remover.
I put my eye makeup on before the rest of my face, so I can just wipe off any fallout. Easy peasy.
I use a baby wipe or a facewipe. I usually don’t wear foundation but if I do I do my eyes first
I usually put under my eyes so the eyeshadow falls on the powder and not my face. Pls I’ve learnt that patting on eye shadow instead of sweeping it gives less fall out. Also, you could shake off excess of the shadow on the back of your hand before applying.
I always try to minimize fall out by gently patting on eyeshadows that are prone to it. If if doesn’t help carefully brush it away with a soft small blush brush I have and eventually use any product left on my foundation brush to cover smudges.
The other day I was in a hurry… So I ran to my sister and asked her to blow in my face 😀
I also do my eyes before my foundation for this reason – I spray MAC fix+ on the back of my hand and roll it up with a qtip because it takes away the fallout without leaving any residue on my face. Love it for this purpose, and use it everyday!
I always apply foundation before eye make up. So I apply some extra loose powder under my eyes. If there’s any fall out I can just brush it off with the extra powder afterwards. This has always worked for me.
I apply my sparkly/glittery eyeshadows first, then I use a makeup remover to remove anything under my eyes, if I still see glitter reflecting, I work up a really good lather of my facial wash and wash under my eyes and cheeks. I pat to dry then I apply my face creme, eyeliner, mascara, and under eye concealer, blush and lipstick. It works like a charm every time since I don’t use foundation unless it’s a very special occasion.
For more bold looks I do my foundation last. Unless is like clown makeup (Red Queen) and I just over powder my base white to knock off the fallout later.
If it’s a more natural look and let say I get my liner on my cheek (use powder/mineral liner somedays) I take a cotton bud to remove the spot and go over again with my foundation brush.
I just wipe/blot it off with a tissue, dampened if necessary. That’s why I do my eye makeup first, including before undereye concealer.
I usually try to swipe it away with a paper towel. If it doesn’t get rid of all of it, I pat a little bit of my colored face powder over the area (whether it’s shadow fallout or glitter).
i put a makeup wipe around a q-tip 😛
I always do my eyes first, and dip a Q-tip in Cetaphil mild cleanse. Quick swipe under the eyes, and fallout is gone.
I always do my eye makeup first so if I have any fallout on my cheeks I just wipe it away with a wipe
I usually don’t have really bad fall out (but if I do I generally just leave it there) because I hold a tissue molded to underneath my eye while I am patting on glittery shadows.
I apply eye makeup first, then foundation. That way, if i do have to use makeup remover to get rid the fallout, I won’t be disturbing my foundation.
Prevention is the key for me – it’s amazing what a good job a post-it note can do as “shield”. I’ve also got Too Faced’s Glitter Glue which works but I’m not all that thrilled with it as it makes it hard to blend other shadows. The best thing I’ve found, though, is Sephora’s glitter gizmo (it’s billed as an eye shadow brush but it’s not really a brush at all). Thanks to this little wonder, I can actually wear Maui Wowie now!
I apply my eye makeup first. I’ve never understood why people do face makeup first. When I’m doing my eye makeup, my hands are right against my face, which would smudge foundation and such. Clean up is also way easier when you can just wipe eyeshadow right off without worrying about messing up foundation.
Kleenex under my eye, if it’s glittery or dark eyeshadow. If it’s a light color, I’ll apply loose powder under my eye and then swipe it away with a brush.
I apply eyeshadow before concealer, and then use a q-tip with Vichy Purete Thermale Micellar Solution.
