It has a sticky texture, but when you apply it, it feels smooth! It does feel a little sticky! The pearls are sparkling and beautiful. It really improves the color of your eyeshadow. Maybe it's because of my personal color, but it's a little too white, so if you apply it under your eyebrows, you'll look like a Heisei-era gal, so be careful.
The pink is neither too dull nor too bright, leaving the eyelids moisturized and easy to use. The cream is thick but spreads easily. It's easy to apply with your fingers. It's not too bold when used on the eyelids, so it doesn't interfere with other eyeshadow colors. I found out about it on the Instagram of a former MAC hair and makeup artist, but I wish I'd known about it sooner. The color isn't too shimmery when used on the blush, so it seems like it would work well together.
I tried it in the store before purchasing! It has great color payoff and a beautiful, subtle pearly finish! It adheres perfectly to the skin. It can be used as both a highlighter and an eye base, so it's highly recommended!
I'm worried about pigmentation, so an eyeshadow base is essential. It's creamy, so it's easy to apply! It contains fine pearls. Using it makes the eyeshadow stick better and gives it better color. Perhaps because it's creamy, I'm a bit concerned about it creasing. There are also some issues with it getting into my double eyelids.
Using this product makes a huge difference in the staying power and color of your eyeshadow. The eyeshadow you apply in the morning stays beautiful until the evening. It's also incredibly versatile, as you can use it as a highlighter or as a blush base to improve staying power.
