Chrome Eyeshadow - Metallic Silver Loose Powder by AUTOMATON | Vegan, Steampunk

While our formula is free from common irritants like talc, parabens, and preservatives, it contains pigments like Aluminum Powder and Mica that can sometimes cause sensitivity. We always recommend performing a patch test before full application, especially for contact lens wearers or those with known sensitivities. If you have specific concerns, consulting with a dermatologist is advised.

For that intense foil effect, dampen a flat synthetic brush with water or setting spray, then pat (don't swipe) the product onto an eyelid primed with a sticky base. Building the color in thin, patted layers will give you maximum opacity and metallic reflection. This technique transforms the smooth, buildable powder into a seamless chrome finish.

As a loose powder, some fallout is possible. To minimize this, tap excess product from your brush before applying, and always use it over an eye shadow primer for better adhesion. Many users also find it helpful to do their eye makeup before foundation and to apply the shadow dry for a softer sheen with less potential for mess.

Yes, absolutely. AUTOMATON Metallic Chrome Silver Eye Shadow is certified vegan, meaning it contains no animal-derived ingredients like carmine or beeswax. It is also proudly cruelty-free and never tested on animals, aligning with our brand's ethical standards.

The 0.5g sample comes in a clam shell case, which is great for trying the color but can be trickier to use without spilling. The 2.5g full-size version features a convenient flip-top jar with a sifter for controlled, mess-free application and better long-term storage.

No, this product is NOT LIP SAFE and is designed for external eye use only. Do not use it on your lips or near mucous membranes. While you could experiment on cheeks, it is not formulated for that purpose, so a patch test is essential to check for sensitivity.

Yes, the highly reflective chrome pigment is designed to show up vibrantly on all skin tones. For the most opaque and bright result, apply the shadow damp over a sticky eye primer. Using a white or light-colored base underneath can further enhance the metallic payoff.

Because the formula is highly pigmented and a little goes a long way, the 2.5g full-size jar lasts for many applications. The lifespan depends on your usage—whether as a subtle inner-corner highlight or a bold all-over lid color—but it is a concentrated product offering great value.
