formula overview
$6.00/0.1oz. – $60.00 per ounce
The formula is said to have “opaque” coverage that’s “long-wearing” in a “quick-drying gel base.” They have a thin, watery consistency that had a cooling effect on the skin that spread fairly easily with the included deer foot applicator, but could also be used with a fingertip or a brush for application.
The liquid eyeshadow dried quickly, but I felt I had enough time to blend out the edges or smooth out imperfections without feeling like I was running against the clock, but I’d still recommend closing one eye at a time work as the formula looks completely dried up and will flake off if you try to fade it out afterwards.
Most shades had a semi-opaque to opaque color payoff and they lasted 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

The formula is said to have “opaque” coverage that’s “long-wearing” in a “quick-drying gel base.” They have a thin, watery consistency that had a cooling effect on the skin that spread quite well with the included deer foot applicator, but could also be used with a fingertip or a brush for application.
