Highly pigmented, water based makeup applies with just a small amount of water and removes with soap and water. Compared to a lot of makeup, this makeup dries faster, is harder to smear, and holds detail and color longer under sweat (although it is not waterproof). All colors can be layered or blended on top of each other. Approximately 5 gm. (2.4 oz. net wt). They're great for starting out, compact and easy to travel with!
