Formula Overview
$18.00/0.35 oz. - $51.43 Per Ounce
It's supposed to have a "buildable wash of color" with long-wear and a "cushiony formula" that "melts" onto skin for a "natural finish." While it looked firmer in the raised domed pan, it was immediately emollient to the touch--creamy, smooth, and lightweight, and yes, balm-like.
The shades tended to have more medium to semi-opaque, buildable coverage that were more inclined to sheer out when applied to skin, so it was best to apply one layer, let it dry down a bit, and then apply another layer if looking to build up coverage. It felt more like a powder-like product once it was applied to my skin as it dried down quite quickly, though it wasn't unmoveable.
The blushes applied well using a fingertip to pick up and pat on color, though I found that the formula sometimes lifted up more matte foundations, so I would recommend pairing it with sheerer-coverage foundation (or tinted moisturizer) or with a satin or natural-finish foundation (and before powdering).
Most shades lasted around eight hours on me before fading visibly.
