Formula Overview
$9.00/0.33 oz. - $27.27 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to have a "buildable" formula that yields a "radiant, naturally sculpted complexion." The consistency was lightweight, spreadable, and felt like a gel-cream texture that had an emollience to it but spread without lifting up base products. I had no trouble blending out the product using a fingertip or a brush, and it worked well over bare skin as well as on top of foundation.
It was quite spreadable, so while it might have seemed more semi-opaque coverage initially, it was semi-sheer to medium in practice and did require layering to build to more medium coverage. This formula lasted well for eight hours on me before showing signs of fading.

Um, I must confess that I’m very confused about ⬆️???
The Elf contour wand would be a wonderful option for those with very light complexions.
The Dior Coral Cruise would be a gorgeous highlighter/highlighting blush for me! I really love how this shade looks… but would have loved a review and grade?

When I tried this I thought it was much too sheer to be useful. Not into the sponge tip either, but that’s a personal preference. I was disappointed that the next shade darker was much too warm IMO to use as a contour.
