Formula Overview

$4.49/0.04 oz. - $112.25 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have "full-coverage" with "16 hour" wear" that is "smudge-proof" and "water-resistant." Most shades were on the pigmented side with semi-opaque to opaque coverage that could be layered.

The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and comfortable to work with as the eyeliner glided across my skin without tugging or pulling. They wore around 10 hours on me before showing signs of thinning/fading, so not quite the 16-hours promised, but there was about half of the eyeliner still visible at the 16-hour mark.

Sequins

LA Girl Sequins Shockwave Eyeliner ($4.49 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium-dark violet purple with subtle, warm pink undertones and cooler, blue-violet pearl. This was one of the worst performers in the range that I tried–likely due to the amount of slip.
