The formula is supposed to have "ultra-gliding multi-pearlescent pigments." There's not much else claimed or described by the brand! They were mostly opaque to opaque with slightly more transparent bases, which may have been an illusion as the texture was very emollient ("ultra-gliding" was an apt description). That glide helped the product transfer to the lid with less fallout, but there was definitely still some fallout, especially when blending.
I would recommend applying the formula using fingertips for maximum coverage, sparkle, and the least fallout. I don't think that a dampened brush was ideal as it made the base more slippery, though, so one might put a bit of adhesive spray onto the skin first, then pat on the product using a fingertip to get some additional hold.

They had a duochrome shift, sometimes almost like a weak multi-chrome, but I found that the duochrome shifts were surprisingly subtle--they read more sparkly and multi-dimensional with a mix of shimmer/sparkle but just didn't have that strong shift at most angles.
The texture was chunkier, as they used very large flecks of sparkle throughout, but the ingredient list did not list any plastic (PET) glitter just to be sure. I did not find that it was an uncomfortable texture on my lid at all, and there was only light fallout while they wore--not enough for my eyes to feel irritated or bothered. They wore around eight hours before they seemed more prone to fallout.
