One of the colors in my eyeshadow palette warns against using it around your eyes.

      It’s probably just a colour that will really saturate the thin skin around your eye and be a nightmare to get off. You often see this on reds because they’ll stain your face

    2. The real answer: certain pressed pigments have ingredients not yet tested by the FDA to be allowed to be used around the eye area. Makeup companies like Jefree Star release whole eyeshadow palettes that they call “artistry palettes” and not eyeshadow due to these pressed pigments and the ingredients

      This is very common. In some areas (North America) regulations stipulate that any eyeshadow that has pigments that are not FDA approved and can stain (usually bright pinks and reds) have a non eye safe disclaimer. They do not actually hurt your eyeballs, and are not marked as such in areas like Europe or Asia.

    4. I had a palette from color pop that had a glitter tin in the middle, and the note on the back said that it could give you cancer
