Formula Overview

$19.00/0.05 oz. - $380.00 Per Ounce

The formula is designed to have a gray base while still retaining an intense shift; the gray base is supposed to--and does--make it easier to diffuse and blend out the eyeshadow without muting the shifts while doing so. The Lites are also "brighter and more shimmering," which I found more accurate. They had a more reflective finish and were a bit more textured as a result of the shimmer, but I'd describe them as glowing whereas the original Jewelled shades had a smoother sheen.

The consistency was smooth to the touch, dense without being firmly-pressed in the pan, and easy to pick up with a brush for an even application on the lid. I had no trouble applying or diffusing the edges, and they were easier to diffuse/blend out along those edges than the black-based multichromes. The eyeshadows were intensely pigmented.

On me, the formula lasted closer to nine hours on average before showing signs of fading. There was minimal fallout, if that, during application but not during wear.
