It had rich color coverage in a single layer that could be easily faded out and spread out for an even layer of product. I had no issues with fading it out or just using it less and then building the cover up where I needed / wanted it. The consistency was slightly pliable, thin and spreadable without shearing too much, so I could easily maintain the intensity and hue. It stayed a good eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

The formula is said to have a “high payout” with a “satin matte” finish that has a “natural flush”. They were very pigmented but mixable and easy to control so you could apply less and get a sharper, more buildable cover if that was preferred. The consistency was light, thin, and had moderate slip, but turned more powdery – the “satin mat” came through – when it was applied to my skin and faded out.
It did not have severe dehydration, so that it remained easily mobile when it dehydrated; it wasn’t sticky or particularly damp, so it appeared to match the “satin matte” finish described (but it wasn’t so matte that it was dry or looked flat). They applied well to bare skin, as well as liquid foundation and solid foundation. They lasted between eight and eight and a half hours with me.
