Formula Overview
$32.00/0.23 oz. – $139.13 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have “buildable” pigmentation with a “natural-looking glow” that “layers and blends without streaking” and is “transfer-resistant.” The texture was thin, fluid but spreadable without being too wet, as it did have a dry down to a more transfer-resistant finish as described by the brand. The shades were semi-sheer and buildable to medium to semi-opaque coverage, depending on the shade.
The texture worked well over bare skin as well as layered on top of base products as it was not prone to lifting them up. I had no issues applying with fingertips or a synthetic brush. The liquid blushes lasted between seven and eight hours on me before fading noticeably.
