Formula Overview
$25.00/0.056 oz. - $446.43 Per Ounce
The product is described as "intensely pigmented" and long-wearing that is "easy to blend and smudge with a brush or fingers." It is also designed to be layered and is touted as "transfer-proof" and "water-proof." The range comes in both matte and shimmer finishes. Some shades performed better than others, and I'd say that the matte shades tended to be more finicky and less forgiving in application compared to the shimmer shades.
With the matte shades, they were quite pigmented, but they dried down as one blended them out (even while working quite quickly!), which made it a challenge to get an even, blended application of the product. Instead, the product tended to lift and move, creating noticeably patchy areas. I did not feel like it layered as well as the dry down was firmer and a touch tacky, so layering tended to lift up the first layer and increased the unevenness instead.
The shimmer shades had a bit more time to work, which may have been why the seemed easier to use initially, but the working time was still pretty short, and once it started to set, it became difficult to blend. They tended to work "best" applied with a fingertip and blended as one went OR applied with the stick and buffed out only at the edges rather than sheered out. Neither the matte nor shimmer shades were the most flattering to lids with texture or any dryness either.
The wear was inconsistent across shades, but they were not particularly long-wearing. The drier matte shades were prone to flaking and slight creasing after four hours, whereas the shimmery shades were more prone to creasing after three to four hours.

Well, Sip and Sparkle and Get On Taupe are lovely colors. In particular, I love Get On Taupe. Too bad they are so bad. I will have to look into some dupes for it. On the dupe list here, I don’t have any of those so free to look around!
I was looking at On The Taupe again and I have to say, I am now on a mission to find the best dupe for it. I really love it and it is growing on me every time I see it. Something similar must still be out there and not LE.
Get on Taupe is so pretty, the poor performance just breaks my heart.
What a huge disappointment! I thought these looked wonderful in the swatches, but they have turned out to be duds! And they were such gorgeous colours too.
These make me sad. I was really hoping that they would apply as lovely as they swatch, and last far better before creasing. If they did, then I could have seen them as perfect mobile lid shadows.
Oh, my! Thank you for “taking one for the team”, Christine! They looked promising when they were released, but I’m really disappointed to see that Fenty Beauty didn’t do a better job on these. Thank you for your objective, detailed reviews of products. This is why we wait for your emails and reviews with bated breath!
Sip & Sparkle and Get on Taupe are appealing colours for me but a 3 hour wear time before creasing (on you – on me, that would probably translate to 3 minutes!) – that makes these a total NO. Disappointing!
Get On Taupe is such a pretty shade, and I’m sad it got a whole F (deserved it, though). Guess I’ll have to find one of the dupes!
Get On Taupe looks so good, I would have loved it, if it had performed decently. Such a pity.
I wonder if a primer might help at all. Reading the review again makes me think it’s not going to work. Such a shame!
Not sure if you’re planning to write one, but surely you have material for an epic “worst of 2023” post!
Get on Taupe looked so pretty… the one I wanted is an F. Sad.
