Simply take the eyeshadow and place it on your wrist. Then blend well into the wrist. You can also try this anywhere on your hand where there are fine lines. Compare the two eye shadows. If the eyeshadow accentuate the fine lines then this is not what we are looking for. Lorac eye shadows always pass the test with flying colors. Literally. They have the most beautiful colors. They feel silky to the touch and they won't irritate your skin like other Lorac products. I also use their oil free foundation. It's one my faves. It provides a nice EVEN coverage. If you have sensitive skin and want beautiful make-up without having to sacrifice luxury then this is the brand for you. You can also never go wrong with Urban Decay eye shadows.<br /><br /><em>Love always,<br /></em><br />BJ
