One of the more talked about brands since Kylie Jenner came up with her own cosmetics line, ColourPop is an affordable and wide range company with some good products and some not the best.
I received 6 liquid lipsticks that typically retail for $6.00, so they are comparable to those in my Hard Candy review price wise...But there are some inconsistencies with the product that I will address later.
Starting with the mattes, I received two different shade
Vice is a pale nude with a warm undertone. It doesn't really work with my skin tone, but its a pretty shade.
Trap is my favorite. It's a greyish nude and is so cute.
About the mattes in general:
They apply like butter. Its a flawless application and they dry down quickly which is an important factor. These lipsticks dry down and they are on for good. I had to remove mine with coconut oil at the end of the day. These lipsticks are not buildable though. The thick formula makes it so that one coat is plenty and reapplication is not a good idea, removal and reapplication is the best way to keep it looking fresh all day.
On to the metallic. So, I received two again.
PYT is a nice gold and is definitely my favorite of the two. I would reach for Hard Candy's Sandstorm before this one. The texture is abnormal, and it dries down to a texture that is even more abnormal.
Kween is my least favorite. It isn't a true metallic. Its more of a deep red with some glitter in it. I swatched it in comparison to Hard Candy's queen of hearts and, again, would reach for Hard Candy first.
You can see a huge contrast in pigmentation, and Hard Candy is a true metallic base. ColourPop could be a good topper to amplify a red lip.
I swatched the Ultra Glossy and Ultra Satin together for some reason. I don't really know why.
Anyway.
These are how they swatch.
I really like the satin, its just not the best color on me. I'll definitely be ordering more!
The glossy is definitely my least favorite product I have ever purchased. Now, there is some bias because I always prefer a matte lip rather than a glossy but the quality is terrible. The pigmentation isn't there and it is a very sticky formula. Honestly, 0/5 stars.
In conclusion, ColourPop is very hit or miss. I definitely recommend the Ultra Matte and Ultra Satin. I like them a lot. The Ultra Metallic ones can easily be duped and found in a drugstore, and the glossy is just not my favorite. Maybe its a bad color, but it just doesn't work for me.
I hope this helps you in your search for the best lipsticks.
