Formula Overview

$24.00/0.1 oz. - $240.00 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to have a glossy finish that leaves a "soft tint" behind while being hydrating, feather-resistant, and offers "sheer-to-medium coverage." It has a a thinner, more watery texture initially, which developed to something smoother and plusher without being too tacky. This helped the product stay in place and be bleed/feather-resistant while having longer-wear, but it was still comfortable to wear.

The shades offered medium coverage, which was somewhat buildable to higher coverage if desired. They applied evenly for the most part and didn't emphasize lip texture. The formula was moderately hydrating over time, and the short shade range performed consistently--they lasted over six hours and left a soft stain behind that lingered for another couple of hours.
