Mica. Iron Oxide. Titanium Dioxide. Zinc Oxide. Carnauba Wax. That’s it. These crazy names may sound intimidating, so let’s break them down. They’re 100% natural and non-toxic, and we know your skin will love them.
Iron Oxides - These create the gorgeous pigments that make up the eyeshadows and blend flawlessly.
Titanium Dioxide - This is a natural occurring mineral which acts as a colorant, and is also a natural SPF which deflects UV light and protects skin.
Mica - This provides the pretty shimmer found in most of Root’s loose eyeshadows.
Zinc Oxide - This mineral is used to naturally thicken our eyeshadows as well as heal irritations and blemishes, reduce signs of aging and serve as another natural SPF.
Carnauba Wax - This holds our loose mineral eyeshadows together and gives them a silky, smooth texture which makes applying them, especially as an eyeliner, super easy!
Perhaps my FAVORITE loose mineral eyeshadow technique is “foiling.” Try mixing a small amount of water with a few taps of your eyeshadow into the lid. Apply with your finger or a flat brush like Root #12 Small Detail Brush. You’ll have a vibrant, metallic shadow that lasts all day and night. I love using this technique for inner corners and as eyeliner.
With over 40 shades, creating a quick and simple smokey eye has never been easier. Loose mineral eyeshadows blend flawlessly, especially with Root #14 Fluffy Flat Eyeshadow Brush. Check out our tutorial and try it yourself. Tag your looks with #RootSmokeyEyeTutorial for a chance to be featured!
Now this is where it gets fun! If you LOVE to DIY (me!), this one’s for you! Try mixing a small amount of your loose mineral eyeshadow with Root Clear Pretty Gloss. Mix and match colors to get a lippie shade that is 100% your own! If you try this one out, tag posts with #rootcustomcolor Who knows, maybe you’ll create the next Pretty Gloss! ;)

I love the loose eyeshadow! It gives me more of the dark smokey eyes. My favorite color is black, grey and brown to match my dark brown eyes. I cannot live without!
I really love the pearl color! I am pleased with the pigments of these!
I used to dislike loose eyeshadow because I felt like I ended up with way more on the brush than I wanted and it got all over my small eyes. I’ve tried this loose eyeshadow and don’t have any issues!
Replying to comment: I layer the So Bronze over the Berry Matte for a night out look. Any tips of how to use the So Bronzer for a day time look?
I highly recommend using Tan Rose all over the lid, So Bronze in the crease, and our White Gold Illuminator as a eyebrow highlight! This will give you a neutral everyday look. :)
Responding to the question: Which color would you recommend for light green eyes?
We LOVE neutrals & purple/mauve tones for light green eyes! I would recommend Tan Rose, Janessa or Portland!

I love the Berry Matte as an eye liner and apply it all over with a dusting of so bronze for nights out!
I literally want every shade! The pigments are BEAUTIFUL and rich=lots of bang for your buck. (But they’re super fairly priced so your buck goes a long way lol) and the tutorials on IG are so fun to watch, I love the variety of looks!
From looking at the colors I like the Janessa color! I will have to try this.
I absolutely love the versatility of the loose shadows aaaaaand all the colors!

I’ve been nervous to try a loose eye shadow due to messiness, but I’d like to try the foil technique!
I absolutely love the stardust color eyeshadow! I usually stick to pretty muted/natural tones, but it’s been really fun to step outside of my box and try a bright color! I’ve gotten a ton of compliments already after wearing it just a couple days.

I have almost ALL Root’s loose eyeshadows. I think ultimately though, you can never go wrong with Tan Rose.
I’m obsessed with Tan Rose and loved your Insta story about how to use it three additional ways- as a lip shimmer, a highlights and a eye shadow base. Gorgeous!
I am LOVING the maya bronzer for an all over glow, with the Sadie blush. It’s such a natural, minimal, summery look. If I want to glam it up, I apply tan rose eye shadow, wet, and off I go!
