Replicant

About Face Replicant Matte Fluid Eye Paint ($16.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a medium-dark bluish-aqua with cool undertones and a matte finish. If you’ve always been disappointed working with powder-based aqua eyeshadows, this might be the aqua of your dreams!

  • 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.

New Karma

About Face New Karma Matte Fluid Eye Paint ($16.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a darker lavender with warm, pink undertones and a matte finish. This was one of the weakest shades in the entire range–too watery, which resulted in sheerness and unevenness.

  • Semi-sheer pigmentation in one layer
  • Overly watery, thinner, harder to control
  • Applied unevenly, hard to build up coverage
  • Long-wearing (10 hours)

I’ve had so much fun playing with these recently. I did two looks with Dionysus and a fewoutgrew – once with Freaked and Granada a monochrome look, once mixed with some of New Karma for a shade between the two. They blend out beautifully and absolutely DO NOT BUDGE.
Am barely restraining myself from buying the entire color range lol.
