Daydreamer
Dominique Cosmetics Daydreamer Lovely Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) is a darker, reddish-brown base with flecks of lighter gold and bronze sparkle and shimmer. It had semi-opaque protection–excess of most shades within the vary–with a chunkier, thicker consistency that was much less watery and skinny.
It was simpler to work with the included-applicator, because the thicker consistency wasn’t as liable to streaking and enabled me to get a extra even layer of shimmer and colour. I nonetheless discovered a separate brush was simpler to work with, however I used to be ready to make use of a fingertip gently diffuse and soften the layer of product if I used the included doe-foot applicator. I wouldn’t apply a second layer because it created a really thick, texture emphasizing stage of product that cracked and flaked over time–so no, not buildable. You get one layer and you're employed with it! With one layer on, it lasted properly for 10 hours with very slight flaking after eight or so hours.

Formulation Overview

The formulation is meant to be "blendable, buildable, [and] fool-proof" and is out there in three finishes. The formulation various wildly from shade to shade with respect to consistency, pigmentation, software, and longevity... It is extraordinarily inconsistent to the purpose the place I am undecided why the model launched these collectively and/or did not present extra correct breakdown of every shade.
Most shades dried down pretty shortly and set in place for a transfer-resistant and long-wearing end, however the battle got here in once they have been layered--built up in protection as marketed--and turned thicker, extra uneven, after which I skilled a little bit of flaking. The sheerer shades tended to use extra erratically, so it took some effort to use and diffuse whereas retaining protection (a fingertip typically absorbed half the product utilized!). I discovered a fluffy, artificial brush tended to work greatest to diffuse and soften the layer of product with out creating extra unevenness or patchiness.
The formulation was extra watery than not, although one shade, Shy Lady, was very a lot the outlier because it was opaque in a single layer, thicker, and utilized fairly evenly. The opposite shades have been various levels of sheer, tougher to construct up, uneven software, and have been usually fussier to work with.

Shy Lady
Dominique Cosmetics Shy Lady Lovely Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) is a muted, darker mauve with refined, heat undertones and a matte end. This was the true outlier within the vary, because it was opaque in protection in a single layer (when the formulation was presupposed to be buildable!) and had a flat, matte end (the others are shimmery).
The consistency was much less watery and skinny, however it wasn’t too thick so it didn’t take lengthy to dry down. The product utilized evenly with the included applicator in addition to with fingertips and with artificial brushes. You’ll wish to work one eye at a time and diffuse after giving it just a few seconds to “tender set” to keep away from probably lifting the product off the pores and skin by making an attempt to mix it after it units. It stayed on properly for 10 hours with out fading or creasing on me.

Vibey Vixen
Dominique Cosmetics Vibey Vixen Lovely Mess Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.27 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark purple with refined, cool undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good colour payoff in a single layer, so it wasn’t fairly what I’d anticipate from a formulation touted as buildable.
On the upside, as a result of the formulation wasn’t notably user-friendly, larger protection meant much less layers, which resulted in higher software and longevity than if it had been sheer. The feel as skinny, extra watery however dried down quick sufficient that it didn’t settle into wonderful strains or crack. The included applicator did a good job of laying down the product, however I might suggest a fluffy, artificial brush–not fingertips!–to diffuse the product for a extra even layer of product and to melt the sides. Fingertips picked up product and created uneven, bald patches, sadly. As soon as on, it lasted properly for 10 hours with out fading or creasing, however a second layer resulted in flaking after seven hours of wear and tear.
