Natasha Denona Scarab Chromium Liquid Eyeshadow ($28.00 for 0.08 oz.) had a sheerer, blackened base that shifted from bright, chartreuse gold to lime to green to deeper, emerald green paired with a metallic finish. The shift was noticeable without craning my neck, though the deeper, darker green shift was only present in low light conditions.
The liquid eyeshadow yielded opaque color payoff in one layer, whether applied with the doe-foot applicator or a separate, flat synthetic brush. I found that the formula was pigmented enough that it was too easy to over-apply when working with the included applicator, so a brush gave me better precision, smoother results, and used less product (which also ensured it took less time to dry and was a thinner layer of actual product).
The consistency was lightweight, watery and wet in feel, but spreadable and kept its opacity when applied. It dried down quickly but I had enough to apply, place, spread, and diffuse the edge without feeling like I had to work at warp speed. There was a slight stingy sensation for me as it dried down, though, which went away once it was dry.
It stayed on well for the most part; I didn't experience creasing, flaking, or fading after a nine-hour period, but there was a slight "crack" that came through at the five-hour mark in my crease. It seemed more like cracking, which the brand included on their list of claims (of things it doesn't do!), than creasing, as the product remained totally set in place, so it was where the product had separated along but not gathered in the deeper line in my crease.
