Magnetic Maple
Phytosurgence Magnetic Maple Flash Florescence Cream Shadow ($17.07 for 0.14 oz.) is a light, slightly warmer taupe with a metallic sheen. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well with a fingertip or a brush, once I got past the initial layer of product, which was a little firmer. I felt like the product applied more evenly in practice, when I tested it on my lid, than when I first swatched it on my arm (in the photo). It stayed on well for 10 hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$17.07/0.14 oz. – $121.93 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to dry down to a “budgetproof finish” that can be applied with “fingers or a brush” that can be used as an “accent colour” or “one and done” whether that’s at full coverage or diffused for a “wash of colour.”
They are pigmented in a single layer using a fingertip, but they can be built up with a fluffy brush or sheered out with fingertips or a fluffy brush for a sheerer wash of product if desired. The texture was a drier cream initially–very thin, lightweight, and had some emollience but didn’t feel wet to the touch. It had about 15 to 30 seconds of working time and then dried down to a powder-like finish that was transfer-resistant.
I found the formula easy to work with as the colors went on evenly, blended out nicely along the edges, and didn’t settle into fine lines/creases as they dried down. They wore eight to nine hours on me before creasing faintly.

Oxidized Olive
Phytosurgence Oxidized Olive Flash Florescence Cream Shadow ($17.07 for 0.14 oz.) is a light-medium, taupe-brown with warmer undertones and a smooth, pearly sheen. It was richly pigmented when applied with a fingertip and sheerer when applied with a brush, though it could be sheered out with a fingertip or built up with a brush as desired. The texture was smooth, dense without being too firm, and creamy enough to blend out without difficulty but still set quickly. It wore well for 10 hours on me before showing signs of fading.
