Formula Overview

$17.07/0.14 oz. - $121.93 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to dry down to a "budgetproof finish" that can be applied with "fingers or a brush" that can be used as an "accent colour" or "one and done" whether that's at full coverage or diffused for a "wash of colour."

They are pigmented in a single layer using a fingertip, but they can be built up with a fluffy brush or sheered out with fingertips or a fluffy brush for a sheerer wash of product if desired. The texture was a drier cream initially--very thin, lightweight, and had some emollience but didn't feel wet to the touch. It had about 15 to 30 seconds of working time and then dried down to a powder-like finish that was transfer-resistant.

I found the formula easy to work with as the colors went on evenly, blended out nicely along the edges, and didn't settle into fine lines/creases as they dried down. They wore eight to nine hours on me before creasing faintly.

Fractal Freesia

Phytosurgence Fractal Freesia Flash Florescence Cream Shadow ($17.07 for 0.14 oz.) is a medium, golden peach base with flecks of lighter gold sparkle that gave it a shiny, almost wet-looking, twinkle. It was described by the brand as having a “translucent base,” so the underlying sheerness was as claimed, and it was designed to be used as a “topper.”
