Formula Overview
$7.50/0.074 oz. – $101.35 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have “silky-rich pigment” with a “blendable, soft-cream-gel.” The majority of the shades were quite pigmented with very little product needed to get full opacity. I found that the finish of the shades tended to be quite shiny–they looked wet even though they did not feel that way.
The texture was lightweight, lightly emollient but more of a cream-to-powder product as it did not feel overly slick or wet when initially picked up or as it dried down. The dry down was powder-like as it remained somewhat blendable and very flexible, so it wasn’t smudge-proof (like if one wiped their eyes) but did have good longevity as there was no fading or creasing unil after 9 hours of wear.
