Formula Overview
$40.00/0.42 oz. – $95.24 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to apply “seamlessly” with “radiant, next gen glow” that lasts for “up to 12 hours.” It featured a gel-powder hybrid formula, so the feel of the powder was on the firmer side, but it wasn’t stiff. There was no powderiness, and I had no issues picking up product with more feathery, less-dense fan brushes or more traditional tapered highlighting brushes.
The shades were typically semi-opaque to opaque in coverage and easily applied with a lighter hand. The powder sat well on bare skin as well as on top of foundation, and it had a “melted” look that helped the powder sit seamlessly. They wore nine to 10 hours on me, so not quite the 12-hours claimed but longer-wearing than average.
