System Overview
$11.00/0.33 oz. – $33.33 Per Ounce
The system is meant to “mix effortlessly” with a “pure, skin-like end” that may be layered or utilized on naked pores and skin. The model recommends applyling instantly from the tube for heavier protection and utilizing a brush to select up product for much less protection, although the protection “simply builds color to your coronary heart’s want.”
They dry all the way down to a semi-set finish–lightly dewy, positively “pure, skin-like” in look, however not overly cheesy or actually wet-looking. I have not discovered that they migrate or transfer round a lot, so the system remains to be longer-wearing at seven to 9 hours with minimal motion. They’ve utilized nicely and worn nicely over basis to date, too. They aren’t transfer-proof however are transfer-resistant; they will not smear round with an inadvertent contact however aren’t totally locked down.
The pigmentation diversified a bit from shade to shade, however most shades had been semi-opaque to completely opaque when utilized instantly from the tube in a single “swipe” movement, although I believe mimicking this on cheeks is not fairly as simply completed as in comparison with my arm. I most well-liked choosing up product on my fingertip, patting on the apple of my cheek and diffusing upward and outward, then utilizing a clear fingertip to diffuse and soften the perimeters as wanted.
I appreciated that even the deeper hues did not appear to “sink” into my pores and had been as simple to use and mix out as very mild, extra my-skin-but-better (actually, my pores and skin!) hues. I’d describe the system was buildable from semi-sheer to medium with semi-opaque protection doable, however there’s sufficient slip within the system that it begins to sheer out noticeably even when utilized extra closely.
The consistency was flippantly emollient, light-weight, and skinny with good spreadability and motion; it did not raise up base merchandise however nonetheless labored nicely over naked pores and skin. I did not expertise it lifting up or creating patchiness over time on prime of basis, even after I set the inspiration initially, however I’d advocate (similar as I’d for many cream-based cheek formulation!) to pair with a less-matte basis for optimum outcomes (the dewy end performs nicely with a extra skin-like base).
Oh, the caps have the names of the merchandise, however the remainder of the tube does not, so you probably have multiple open, take care in getting the proper lid again on!
