Formula Overview

-

The "gel-powder" formula is supposed to have "intense high coverage and a molten metal payoff." It can be used dry (as-is) or wet, whether with water or the brand's own Master Metal Manipulator (which is effectively a mixing medium). The eyeshadows were intensely pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with and had good wear (eight to nine hours).

Using them with a dampened brush made most shades appear slightly darker and richer while intensifying the metallic finish, but they were very usable dry--just as opaque and still very shiny and metallic. I don't know that I'd really bother using them wet unless one really needed the fluidity of a wetter or more liquid format.

"Gel-powder" should be your cue that the formula is going to have a denser, firmer feel to it--smooth but firmer--so there wasn't any powderiness or excess that got kicked up. You'll want to use more of a medium pressure or a denser brush to pick up product evenly. I also find--and true with this formula--that gel-powder formulas sit more smoothly on my lids as they have a tendency to "melt" and look more seamless.
