Light Transcending

About Face Light Transcending Matte Fluid Eye Paint ($16.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a light-medium orange with strong, warm yellow undertones and a matte finish.

  • Opaque pigmentation in one layer
  • Fluid, lightweight consistency that was creamy but not too watery
  • 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.

White Noise

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

I’m definitely interested in picking up White Noise to see how I like it for a base for some brighter colors I own. Hopefully it will work well on ultra oily lids as a base. Even if it doesn’t it could definitely be used as an accent liner with a little liner brush.
