Colourpop is a brand born, raised, and managed right here in the states, in L.A. and are cruelty-free. They have branched out from eyeshadows and lipsticks to liquid lipsticks, brow products, highlighters and blushes, and beyond. They're known for their great prices, unique products, and fun colors.


   I got several eyeshadows from them last year and was instantly in love. Recently I got in another order in which I decided to dabble in more of what they've come out with since then.

No primer, in studio lights.

DESERT Light neutral shade

NILLIONARE Metallic glittery neutral gold

GAME FACE Slightly warm-toned medium brown

MOONING Cool-toned dark brown

COCONUT Bright metallic blue

REX Medium/dark blue

EROTIC Salmon pink with shifts of red, silver, and gold

FRISKIE Blue-black glitter

ROULETTE Matte black

DTLA Navy blue

AVENUE

 I really liked this. Again, for the price, the formula is great. It is thick and moussey, and you can definitely feel it on the lips, but it stays put and doesn't look cakey. I ate and drank and it looked nearly the same.

ECHO PARK Neutral dark red

 This one, however, was really unpleasant. It's incredibly dry, and immediately began flaking off- and sticking to my teeth, I could rub off the flakes in bunches. It kept moving to my teeth while I was talking! Embarrassing. And flaky, unlike lipstick streaks, so they really stuck.

PRENUP Soft pink with shimmer

 This is the perfect color for fair skin. I can't really attest for how well they do applied with fingers, but I use it with a blush brush. It takes quite a bit of product, but once on, looks great. I have no qualms with it.

STOLE THE SHOW Warm-toned shimmer

So much glow! One of my new favorite highlighters. I also use a brush for this. It goes on a bit chunky so you have to blend it in, but once done, it looks amazing. You can go natural or build it up to a mega glow, and this shade is perfect for my warm-tone super pale skin. Plus, it's really pigmented.

DOPE TAUPE Warm-toned light brown

With Coconut and Erotic shadows, Avenue satin lip, the and the above highlighter and blush

The pencil itself was creamy and easy to use, and the spoolie is the perfect mix of softness and firmness. That being said, I was disappointed to find that it is definitely not taupe; it's very warm-toned. I've added the above photos to show the comparison between the brow pencil and my cool-toned hair. It's definitely better for dirty blonde or warm hair. I spoolied it out quite a lot to tone it down. I gave the pencil to my mom, and it suits her warm brown hair much better, and I feel like it's super easy to use.

Frida Warm-toned pink

I've only tried one of these, and I think Frida is listed as matte, though it didn't seem so. I find this quite a bit more orangey than I like to wear so I don't wear it often. The formula is very creamy and a bit on the thin side versus your usual lipstick consistency. It probably works at its best used with a lipliner.
