Technique & Craft
Duochrome and multichrome pigments are engineered using synthetic fluorphlogopite (glass-like mica) coated with microscopic layers of titanium dioxide and iron oxides.
When light strikes the platelet, some wavelengths reflect immediately while others pass through and bounce off underlying layers. This optical interference creates a live prismatic color shift that changes as you blink.
To make a duochrome pop with 10x intensity, apply a matte black or deep brown gel liner across the lid first as an opaque canvas.
The dark background absorbs scattered white light, allowing the reflective color shift (such as peacock blue to emerald or violet to copper) to appear hyper-saturated and electric.

Yes! For daytime elegance, tap a sheer wash of duochrome (like champagne-pink or peach-gold) over a bare lid with your ring finger for an effortless wet-gloss effect.
Always use a tacky glitter primer base, press rather than sweep pigments with a dense brush or finger, and do your eye makeup before applying foundation and concealer.
Because many multichromes contain rich pearls, unprimed oily lids can cause creasing. Setting your lid with translucent powder before glitter glue guarantees all-day crease resistance.
