Learn how to apply Infinite Chrome Flakes without fallout. Follow these steps for a clean, high-impact chrome eye look with no mess.
Quick answer
To apply Infinite Chrome Flakes without fallout, use a small amount and tap it onto the lid with your finger or a flat synthetic brush. The water-based formula self-sets, so you don't need mixing medium or adhesive. Work in thin layers and avoid sweeping motions to keep flakes in place.
Why Infinite Chrome Flakes Fall Out (and How to Prevent It)
Fallout happens when flakes are applied too heavily or with rough motions. Infinite Chrome Flakes are lightweight and self-setting, but they can still scatter if you use too much product or drag the brush. The fix is simple: use less product, tap instead of sweep, and build in thin layers. Also, make sure your lid is dry and free of oily creams before applying, as slip can cause flakes to move.
Tools and Prep for a Clean Application
You don't need special mixing mediums. A flat synthetic brush or your ring finger works best. Start with a clean, dry eyelid. If you use a primer or base, let it set completely. For extra grip, you can pat a tiny amount of Colorfix Mattes in a neutral shade as a base; it dries down and gives flakes something to cling to. Avoid creamy bases that stay tacky.
Step-by-Step Application for Zero Fallout
1. Dip your brush or finger lightly into the jar. Tap off excess. 2. Press the flakes onto the center of your lid, then blend outward with patting motions. 3. Build intensity by adding more layers, but wait a few seconds between each. 4. For a topper effect, apply over a matte shadow. 5. Clean up any stray flakes with a piece of tape or a damp cotton swab. Remember: no sweeping, no heavy dipping.
Step-by-step: Applying Infinite Chrome Flakes
- Start with a clean, dry lid: Cleanse and dry your eyelids. Avoid heavy creams; if you use a base, let it set fully. Checkpoint: Your lid should feel dry to the touch before applying flakes.
- Pick up a small amount of product: Dip a flat synthetic brush or your finger lightly into the jar. Tap off any excess. Mistake to avoid: Dipping too much product leads to fallout.
- Tap and press onto the lid: Use patting motions to press flakes onto the center of your lid, then blend outward. Do not sweep. Checkpoint: Flakes should adhere without scattering.
- Build in thin layers: Wait a few seconds between layers to let the formula self-set. Add more for intensity. Mistake to avoid: Applying too much at once causes clumping and fallout.
- Clean up any stray flakes: Use a piece of tape or a damp cotton swab to remove any flakes that landed on your cheeks. Next step: Finish with mascara and eyeliner as desired.
