The texture was smooth, light, thin, and fairly runny with a moderate dryness that left some moisture behind but neither felt sticky nor tended to slide around while wearing. It’s good to apply to bare skin with your fingertips or a brush, but I found a brush to be better for getting even application and minimizing the chance of base products being lifted. It was a good eight hours before something faded.

The formula is said to be “ultra mixable” with “bare coverage” and have a “natural moist” finish. It can be used individually, applied to products or mixed with the primer.
The covering was very plain, and the more fluid, almost watery consistency made the already sheer covering tend to become even sharper. I found that acting as a standalone highlighter on products or bare skin was so subtle that it looked more like faint glimmer particles but little color and subtle luminosity.
Applying it to bare skin, fingertips, or brushes worked fine, but I preferred a duo-fiber feathered brush to apply over the foundation as it was more prone to leaving fingertips when I tried to pat it over the foundation. It mixed well with various foundations, and it was also something that mixed well with moisturizers or more liquid foundations.
It mostly dries out so it doesn’t tend to slide around while you wear it, and it also didn’t feel sticky to the touch. They wore an average of eight hours before fading.
