Formula Overview

$22.00/0.5 oz. - $44.00 Per Ounce

The formula is described as "blendable and buildable" with six shades available that can be applied using "fingers, brush, or [a] blender." They even go on to say that it "layers well with foundation" and has a "juicy/dewy finish" that is "long-lasting." The consistency was very fluid, which resulted in sheerer coverage, as marketed, that was somewhat buildable but looked more like a tint of color overall.

That texture was harder to work with using base products as it had a tendency to lift them up/move them around to a mild to moderate degree. I preferred applying a bit of product to the back of my hand and then using a synthetic highlighter or blush brush to swirl and tap the product onto my cheeks, as this yielded more consistent, even, and least-disruptive results over foundation.

It doesn't dry down, and it retains a very glossy, dewy finish, which seemed in line with how it was marketed. I did not find it was tacky to the touch, but it was emollient, so it could easily get smeared/moved around while worn. Inside, at my desk, where there were no stray winds blowing, they lasted around six hours before migrating/diffusing further.

As long as shorter wear time isn't a deal-breaker, I could see this product being loved by someone who doesn't typically wear base products or wears tinted moisturizers or does spot concealing only.
