In-Depth Review of the Formula
$25.00/0.056 oz. – $446.43 Per Ounce
This product boasts an “intensely pigmented” formula that is designed for long wear and is described as being “easy to blend and smudge with a brush or fingers.” Its versatility allows for layering, with claims of being both “transfer-proof” and “water-proof.” The line offers a variety of finishes, including both matte and shimmer options. However, it’s important to note that the performance of different shades can vary significantly; often, the matte shades are less forgiving and more challenging to apply than their shimmer counterparts.
When working with the matte shades, users will find them to be richly pigmented, but they tend to dry down quickly during blending, which can complicate achieving an even and seamless application. As a result, the product may lift or shift, leading to noticeable patchy areas on the skin. Layering can be particularly difficult due to a firmer and slightly tacky dry down, which tends to disrupt the initial layer instead of enhancing it, thus resulting in an uneven finish.
In contrast, the shimmer shades offer a bit more flexibility during application, which may explain why they feel easier to work with initially. However, the window for blending remains relatively brief; once these shades begin to set, they can be difficult to manipulate. They generally perform best when applied directly with a fingertip for blending, or by applying directly from the stick and softly buffing the edges. It’s worth mentioning that neither the matte nor shimmer shades are particularly flattering on eyelids that have texture or dryness.
Wear time varies noticeably among the shades, and overall, they do not offer extended longevity. The drier matte shades are especially prone to flaking and slight creasing after about four hours of wear, while the shimmer shades tend to show creasing within three to four hours.
