It provided full color coverage in a single layer which was as available in the market but was very mixable so it could be spread out and faded out if desired for a sharper effect. You can also just use less product and build up as needed. It felt a little more powdery, not completely dry or dull, once it came in contact with my skin, but it had a lot of play time. This hue stayed on well for eight hours before noticeably 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.
