formula overview
$35.00/0.28oz. – $125.00 per ounce
The formula is described as a “buildable and blendable creamy powder” that adds “warmth and depth” that doesn’t fade and is “colorfast” for 24 hours while not settling or creasing for 12 hours. It’s touted as being waterproof and sweat and moisture resistant.
The consistency was light, thin and a bit drier, but the powders blended surprisingly well on bare skin and on non-matte base products. The pigmentation was medium and buildable as marketed and I felt it was easy to control how much I wanted while the coverage was well layered. However, it was a very matte powder and it looked a bit flat on my skin.
I typically wear powder based products like blush, bronzer etc for about eight hours and these lasted about nine hours before fading noticeably and seemed to fade more slowly compared to many powders I’ve tried but 24- Carrying hours is a stretch.
