Formula Overview
$22.00/0.04 oz. – $550.00 Per Ounce
The formula is described as being “water-resistant” and “blends, builds, and layers seamlessly for fadeproof wear all day” that can be “blend[ed]” for a wash of color or “lined” directly. The over-sized pencils have a very creamy formula that was soft and emollient, but I often found they were too soft and more prone to breaking or leaving behind clumps of product, so you had to use a very light hand and go back over any area with a brush to smooth it out.
On the upside, all that creaminess led to semi-opaque to opaque coverage in a single stroke, which made the product easy to use an eyeliner or for all over the lid (as it was comfortable to use). The downside, of course, was the creaminess resulted in shorter wear and something that was more prone to creasing. As an eyeshadow, they tended to crease after three to four hours, and if I sheered it out for more of a wash of color on the lid, four to five hours. It was a bit longer-wearing as an eyeliner at five to six hours on me.
