MAC Eye Shadow in Gesso is a single pressed powder in a stark, clean matte white, a pro-favorite for high-contrast eye work. Finely milled and highly pigmented, it lays down smooth, even coverage that reads as a true flat white without going patchy or sheer. It shines as a base that makes bright, neon, or pastel shadows pop, and as a crisp highlight for the inner corners and brow bone, especially in photography where shimmer can cause flashback. Use it dry for a soft chalky wash or wet for dense, paint-like opacity and sharp graphic lines. It wears up to eight hours without creasing and stays gentle enough for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, a precise tool for cut-creases and graphic looks.

How to Use:
Pat a little primer or concealer on the lids first for a smooth anchor. Use a small dense brush to pop Gesso onto the inner corners to brighten the eyes, or a flat brush to sharpen a cut-crease. Press it under the brow arch for lift. For a graphic wing, spritz an angled brush with setting spray, dip into the shadow, and draw a sharp matte-white line.
