If you’ve created resin pieces using eyeshadow as a pigment, you may wonder whether extra sealing helps extend their beauty. Properly sealing your resin creations can make all the difference to their finish and longevity.
Why Apply a Clear Topcoat?
When you embed eyeshadow pigments in resin, a clear topcoat acts as a protective barrier, maintaining the vibrancy of your design. The additional coating shields the surface from everyday scratches, fading, and minor impacts—especially for keyrings, jewellery, and other frequently handled items.
A suitable clear resin, such as “Art Pro” – Clear Epoxy Resin for Artists and Surface Coating, offers a high-gloss finish with added scratch resistance and UV filtering, which is ideal for keeping colours looking their best.
How to Seal Resin Items with Eyeshadow Pigments
- Ensure your resin piece is fully cured and clean before applying a topcoat.
- Mix your chosen clear resin as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Pour or brush on a thin, even layer to avoid streaks or bubbles.
- Allow the topcoat to cure undisturbed for reliable protection and finish.
For smaller or beginner projects, straightforward products with an easy mixing ratio, such as the “One-2-One” epoxy resin, simplify this process and deliver a clear, glossy finish.
When This Matters Most
Sealing is especially important for items that will experience regular use, such as pendants, coasters, and keyrings. Without a protective topcoat, eyeshadow pigments can be more vulnerable to wear over time, diminishing their original look.
