Scream of Consciousness
About Face Scream of Consciousness Matte Fluid Eye Paint ($16.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark orange-red with warmer undertones and a matte finish. When applied more sheerly, it came through as an orange-red but when applied at full opacity, it was more like red with an orange undertone.

- Applied evenly and was blendable, pretty easy to use
- Long-wearing (12 hours)

Formula Overview
$16.00/0.15 oz. - $106.67 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have "bold, buildable pigment" that "swipes on easily" and has a "no-budge, no-smudge finish." The liquid eyeshadow has a lightweight, fluid consistency that felt like a cross between water and gel, which ensured that the product glided over my skin, blended out evenly, but wasn't prone to settling into fine lines. Most shades were pigmented with little product required for it but a few shades were more semi-opaque.
They dry down fairly quickly, so I would recommend working one area at a time if more diffused/blended areas were desired. It would also be prudent to go in with fingertips or a fluffy brush to diffuse edges if choosing to wear the product all over the lid. Due to the pigmentation, consistency, and dry down time, they did lend themselves to eyeliner and more graphic eyeshadow shapes/lines.
Once they set, they were quite budge-proof and lasted for 12 hours without fading or creasing on me when worn as an eyeshadow and 12 hours as an eyeliner.

I’m loving Incoming and Vertigo Flowers! See, what I will most likely do is start out with just one shade to determine whether or not it can withstand my Alien acid tears ot not before I go and buy a bunch of these.
Wow – these are fabulous- what beautiful colours and such a great rating for the brand.
With every review of these, it becomes harder and harder to resist the whole damn line.
