The formula is supposed to have "bold, buildable pigment" that "swipes on easily" and has a "no-budge, no-smudge finish." The liquid eyeshadow has a lightweight, fluid consistency that felt like a cross between water and gel, which ensured that the product glided over my skin, blended out evenly, but wasn't prone to settling into fine lines. Most shades were pigmented with little product required for it but a few shades were more semi-opaque.

They dry down fairly quickly, so I would recommend working one area at a time if more diffused/blended areas were desired. It would also be prudent to go in with fingertips or a fluffy brush to diffuse edges if choosing to wear the product all over the lid. Due to the pigmentation, consistency, and dry down time, they did lend themselves to eyeliner and more graphic eyeshadow shapes/lines.

Once they set, they were quite budge-proof and lasted for 12 hours without fading or creasing on me when worn as an eyeshadow and 12 hours as an eyeliner.

Lost Unfound

About Face Lost Unfound Matte Fluid Eye Paint ($16.00 for 0.15 oz.) is an inky deep blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. It appeared almost black when applied straight out of the tube, but in practice, it was a brighter, deeper blue with a lot of richness to it. There was a slightly translucent quality to it applied and diffused compared to that initial swipe–this is also one that I would not just “swipe” on and use a separate brush to apply, building as needed.

Nearly opaque coverage
Fluid, lightweight consistency that was creamy but not too watery
Applied fairly evenly initially, blendable as it was drying down
Long-wearing (12 hours)
