How well do these work when using to apply eye shadow? I was thinking about purchasing these to allow customers to try my full-sized eye shadow samples while eliminating contamination.

Hannah, these work great for any make up (except liner, unless you want to smudge it) you want to apply to the eye. I also use them to remove mistakes. I order several boxes at a time. BTW my maiden name was Harris!! I just took a look at the other reviews and they don't seem cheap at all or scratchy. They are very substantial, don't fall apart, and the tees don't break under pressure. Hope they work out for you...Marsha

sorry to say I don't use them for makeup. I use them to clean electrical contact surfaces. I spray the ends with contact cleaner, then apply. ideally for me; I wish they were much thinner. I can see there isn't much choice on the market. but there's only one way to find out. good luck.

In my opinion, they are too hard. I have sensitive eyes, and the material is kind of scratchy and has no give like Q-tips do. I suppose for normal-eyed people, they would be fine, although I don't think that they spread very well because they were so hard. If someone were using them on my to test eye shadows, I would have to have them stop. Also, they felt very cheap to me, so I imagine that would say something to your customers. I bought a package of over 100 eye shadow applicators, basic black, on Amazon that work far better than these do. Hope this helps!

My mother in law has used it to apply her make-up and she say's it's great, the narrowed tip works well. She no longer uses the regular applicator that comes with the make-up, instead she uses these.

Japanese ones are actually very good but cheap made. What do you want these for? I bough them for eyelid correction and it worked perfectly, but unless you have hooded eyes, it will show. Not that people is looking but, it can be seen. I used Korean ones for the same purpose (2 dollars) and they also worked very well.

I find them helpful for removing eyeliner from my lower lash line and the outer corner of my eye but I have to be careful to be gentle. I'm paranoid about removing make-up, so I would wash with a cleanser first, just to get the surface stuff off, and then follow up with these!

Not really for shadow. Just lip application. I only use them for lip glosses on clients never double dip.

I followed another comment for great success with this product which I have used for over four months now. I only dip the brush in the tube once per eye. I apply the brush on the top first and then the bottom just like applying liquid eye liner. I believe this minimul technique does the job, stretches out the product, and keeps your eye(s) from becoming irritated.

Yes, they totally work, and at the same time, they don't distort the color of something you're looking at. They give the appearance of a more natural light and less eye strain. I use them for school every day. The kit also comes with a case, cloth, and miniature screwdriver.

You can use this spray to set your makeup. I wouldn't use it with eye-shadow though.

Hello, HG, I have to admit I have twice now used the blacklight flashlight at night just to look for pet urine and I haven't been wearing protective UV glasses. I just had a long discussion about this with my spouse who was a scientist and who told me that for my small use of that flashlight there is very little likelihood of my having any damage to my eyes; however, "little likelihood" is not a comforting thought to me and so I think I will acquire a pair of those glasses. I don't like to take chances with my eyes. Thank you for mentioning this possible problem.

I have tried them on over glasses and they seem to work just fine. However, I have not tried to work with them on over glasses nor have I done this for any extended period of time. I anticipate that when it is necessary to use these, it will be for short periods, maybe just long enough to make more visible marks to use minus the laser. Hope this helps.

Hello, I don't have a problem with my vision however my lids drop right on top of my eyes and it is an annoying sensation I am always aware of the heaviness and weight of that skin; I have been using eye magic for several years and endorse these little strips 100%; for me they solve the problem of not only lifting that loose skin but also make me look younger. Hope this helps

This might actually be a question best answered by the company itself (www.allencompany.net), I have no reservations myself in using them not only for elimination of light glare and "extra" eye and lens protection over my prescription glasses but what I am protecting against are small particles that may be associated to a non-full burn of gun-powder, as well as shell casing from mine or a partner nearby when they eject out of a side port. Larger chunks of wood, sawdust, or small shards of metal from say a missed screw or nail in the wood would be slowed down for sure on impacting these glasses but when it comes to your eyes you can never be to carful.

I would not risk that if I were you. They are not recommended for eyes glasses. This is especially true since you would not want any residual material from this near your eyes or nose (vapors). It is minor if you clean them well afterwards.

I've had mine since Oct 2013 and they are still fine. They're sealed in a foil pack like hand wipes so they should last a very long time before they dry out. I'd guess indefinitely. Are you just using them on glasses? I bought them primarily for quick clean up of camera lenses, but we use them on regular eyeglasses, smartphone screens and laptop/monitor screens as well.

I would not use them for that just in case small pieces of wood fly around and get up behind the glasses. Plus they are dark and may mess with your vision. They do not seal around your skin
