The texture was light, a touch sticky, but smooth and mixable on bare skin and foundation as it didn’t lift my base products. It carried well for seven hours before it visibly faded.

The formula should have a “buildable” cover with an “illuminating” effect that is “mixable” and gives a “bronze sheen”. The formula has pure to semi-transparent coverage that can be built up to medium coverage, but it was easier to work with when applied as a semi-transparent product.
The texture was mild, pliable, and light with a hint of stickiness which helped keep it from spreading too quickly. However, I would recommend being gentle when you press them on your skin with your fingertip to avoid lifting the base products. It wasn’t particularly prone to base lifting, but I had it twice out of 10 uses.
The product was applied evenly and faded out without difficulty. The shadows lasted between seven and eight hours before they visibly faded.
