Formula Overview
$22.00/0.04 oz. – $550.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have “high-impact” color with “long-wear” that is “waterproof” and “glides like a liquid.” The majority of the eyeliners had semi-opaque to opaque coverage, which was quite good for a pencil eyeliner. The matte shades tended to have the highest and most even coverage compared to the shimmers, which were less consistent.
The texture was lightweight, smooth, and creamy without being too emollient, though they are good for smudging and take longer than average (but not THAT long!) to dry down.
I did not find the wear to be exceptional; they were solid and wore around eight hours on the lower lash line before thinning noticeably, while they had decent (six-hour) wear on my water line. Both lengths of wear are average for pencil eyeliner for me with the longer-wearing formulas getting closer to 10 to 12 hour wear.
