Formula Overview

$8.00/0.18 oz. - $44.44 Per Ounce

It is designed to be buildable, which it was, with a cream-to-powder formula. The texture was smooth and more velvety to the touch than overtly emollient or wet-like; it could be depressed like clay or the like, which made it lightweight, thin, and quick to turn powder-like as soon as it came into contact with skin.

I did not find it to be quite as effortlessly blendable as other types of Super Shock products, but I didn't have to work too much at blending them out, and they were not prone to lifting up my base products. The coverage was sheer to semi-sheer, buildable when working with a brush and more medium and buildable when using a fingertip.

They lasted nine to 10 hours on me before fading visibly.
