After trying several shades in the formula, there is a lot of inconsistency across shades.

It’s generally unforgiving and doesn’t take too well to reapplication, but it’s pretty long-wearing (more or less 8 hours as long as you don’t eat anything oily or greasy) so touchups usually aren’t necessary. ![]() To recap, the original Ultra Matte formula is thin but opaque and for the most part applies pretty evenly.
