In-Depth Formula Analysis for Optimal Application
$24.00/0.17 oz. – $141.18 Per Ounce
The product boasts a “buildable cream-to-powder formula that’s impossible to mess up,” designed to provide a sheer wash of color. It’s marketed as “blendable” with no creasing or fallout, and can be applied using either fingers or Brush No. 2 for enhanced precision.
However, this product does not live up to its claims. It is neither sheer nor buildable, and blending proves to be challenging. The formula dries incredibly fast, leading to a budge-proof finish initially; however, any attempts at layering or blending result in a patchy and messy appearance.
Achieving a sheer effect is difficult, and once applied, layering additional colors becomes nearly impossible. The emollient nature of the product often leads to waxy buildup around the rims of the shades, which dries rapidly yet presents an uneven application experience.
While quick-drying formulas typically offer long wear, I observed notable breakdown and creasing after just three to four hours of wear. The matte finish tends to appear flat and chalky, often highlighting any texture or lines on the eyelids.
For best results, utilizing a fluffy, synthetic brush for application is recommended. However, due to the quick-drying nature, it is essential to perfect the initial application within five seconds, as corrections are not an option.
