When applied directly from the tube and left unblended, it seemed more pigmented, but this level of pigmentation was only achievable through building up layers--it was designed to be a sheerer, more buildable formula, so it was in line with expectations. The consistency was smooth, balmy, and moderately emollient, which gave it a very dewy finish that never fully dried down but was not tacky on my skin. It lasted nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.
