Method Overview

The formulation is a cream product that’s alleged to be “highly pigmented,” “smudge proof,” “waterproof, and “fast drying.” They’re multi-purpose merchandise that can be utilized on the eyes, lips, and cheeks (although notice: the Foil end consists of plastic, or PET, glitter, which is technically not thought-about eye secure through FDA).

The important thing takeaway with this formulation is that they actually do imply “rapid drying” — it’s each a professional and a con, however you need to work rapidly and effectively when utilizing this product on the pores and skin the place one may wish to diffuse, unfold, or mix out edges. Whereas the model is consumer-friendly, this product is especially favored by make-up artists, and I did really feel like there was a studying curve with them.

Some shades dry a bit of quicker than others, and as soon as they dry down, they’re fairly smudge proof as marketed, so they do not wish to be moved. Makes an attempt to mix them out after they set typically resulted within the product lifting off the pores and skin. They’re additionally, sometimes, fairly pigmented, so one ought to train warning when making use of to cheeks initially. I discovered that a few of the extra sparkly shades have been sheerer.

The consistency was skinny, light-weight, and a runnier cream, which meant that it was straightforward to squeeze out extra product than desired from the tube for the uninitiated. After a couple of makes use of, I used to be capable of dial within the stress I wanted to squeeze out the product and was constantly capable of get what I wanted from there.

Eyes

Relying on the depth of the shade relative to your pores and skin tone and whether or not you wished a sheerer or extra opaque finish consequence, fingertips or artificial brushes can be the first instruments. I discovered that I typically most well-liked to place a bit of product on the again of my hand after which used both my fingertips (for extra all-over software) or a brush (for extra exact or opaque software). For precision and ease of use (as my fingertips are a bit of giant in comparison with my eye measurement), I favored fluffy, artificial brushes to diffuse the perimeters or sheer out the product.

A number of the Foil shades specifically tended to a bit of thicker and tackier when utilized, and I wasn’t at all times capable of maneuver them evenly. They appeared to work higher as an accent, like on the interior tear duct or on the center of the lid.

The vast majority of shades have been very pigmented, pretty blendable, and long-wearing, whereas most shades lasted 10 hours with out fading, creasing, or flaking. I did really feel like my eyelids bought a bit of drier from carrying a number of of those shades for a number of days in a row.

Lips

They utilized lots higher to lips than I anticipated, as I typically discover that multi-purpose merchandise do properly on one or two areas however hardly ever all of them. The product utilized properly with a fingertip or a lip brush, although for pace, I favored utilizing a fingertip. The vast majority of the shades utilized evenly, did not emphasize my lip texture/lip strains, and have been snug sufficient to put on.

The dry down was noticeable, however the product had gentle tackiness, although I did not have points with the colour carry up. Regardless of having extra of a liquid lipstick form of dry down, it nonetheless felt lighter-weight and was versatile, which is what made it extra snug to put on. I did not see marks left on my glass, they usually simply lasted via a cup of espresso. Most shades appeared to put on for six hours or longer on me.

The extra sparkly shades with much less opacity tended to be least even and felt tackier, and if I pressed and rubbed my lips collectively, it appeared like some product moved a bit.

Cheeks

As cheek software is usually sheerer, moderately than full protection, making use of the extra pigmented shades to cheeks took some getting used it as one has to work rapidly and begin with manner lower than you want. I most well-liked utilizing extra feathery, duo-fiber brushes for actually vivid shades to diffuse and apply product on cheeks higher, however fingertips labored for getting an preliminary placement after which a clear brush was pretty for the mixing portion.

The damage time on cheeks was comparable with eyes (so round 10 hours of excellent put on).

Editor’s notice: I do not know why I did not make this connection beforehand (in some unspecified time in the future, I used to be conscious they have been multi-use), as I purchased these as cream eyeshadows for evaluation. If I had to return and do swatches of every shade on cheeks and lips, I’d by no means, ever evaluation (based mostly on the quantity of different merchandise I’ve within the queue), so whereas I examined every shade for software, pigmentation, longevity, and so on. for all three functions, you’ll solely discover a pores and skin swatch.
