Electric
Kosas Electric 10-Second Eye Eyeshadow ($15.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a light peach with warmer undertones and a pearl sheen. It had sheer color coverage and was not buildable as it was incredibly watery and thin, so it was particularly difficult to work with. It was more forgiving against my skin tone, since it was closer in color, but I could definitely tell that the layer was uneven, which only worsened if I tried to build up product. It flaked after seven hours if layered.
I couldn’t follow the brand’s instructions for application and achieve success at all; the only way to work with it was to immediately start blending it out, but the end result was somewhat uneven.

Formula Overview
$15.00/0.06 oz. - $250.00 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to "glide on like gel watercolor" that you "swipe on one eye at a time," then "wait 5-10 secs" and "tap, tap, tap (don't rub)." They describe it as "effortless, one-wash application."
I actually found that following the brand's instructions for application to be a recipe for disaster! By waiting, the product lost its slip and lifted away on a fingertip/brush and resulted in uneveness, patchiness, and an almost a "ring" of color wherever I tried to spread it out from. If I applied a swipe of product and immediately started to diffuse and blend it out, I was able to get a layer of somewhat even color that didn't have any lines of demarcation from where it was initially applied.
The texture was watery, thin, and cool to the touch, and while it was more emollient initially, it was the type of formula that instantly diffused so it was better to use less than what you think you need and build up if necessary. Building up went decently but it was a precarious situation that did not always work out, as sometimes building resulted in the base layer flaking off.
The coverage was semi-sheer to medium, depending on the shade, and it could be built up to some degree, again, depending on the shade. It would be more ideal for someone who was looking for sheerer coverage and purchasing a shade closer to their skin tone (which also helps to camouflage uneveness).
I don't have the original formula to compare, but from people who loved it, the new formula seems sheerer, less sparkly, and harder to work with overall.

Simmer
Kosas Simmer 10-Second Eye Eyeshadow ($15.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy gold with strong, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had semi-sheer color payoff, which was fairly buildable, but it did not apply or blend out evenly and was prone to flaking if layered. The consistency was lightweight, spreadable, and fairly watery, which meant it wanted to spread further than one might expect so use less initially.
I couldn’t follow the brand’s instructions for application and achieve success at all; the only way to work with it was to immediately start blending it out, but the end result was somewhat uneven.

Blaze
Kosas Blaze 10-Second Eye Eyeshadow ($15.00 for 0.06 oz.) is a light, golden bronze with warmer undertones and a pearl finish. It had semi-sheer, somewhat buildable pigmentation, but the unevenness of application was more and more apparent as I built up product (as the first layer was never that even, no matter how I tried to apply and fuss with it to get an even layer!). The consistency was very watery, fluid, and thin, though it dried down quickly (10 seconds).
I couldn’t follow the brand’s instructions for application and achieve success at all; the only way to work with it was to immediately start blending it out, but the end result was somewhat uneven.
