We had beauty expert Dorothy Ryan show us how they work!

Additional Tips:

 

 

  • Single-use beauty products are convenient and dole out exactly the amount of product needed at each time
  • Products in packages designed for one-time use are more hygienic than standard-sized products because they aren’t regularly exposed to bacteria and other contaminants
  • 28 single-use eye shadows in six jewel tones that are embossed onto super flat cards and tucked safely into a reusable tin
