Hey!! So after another paycheck or so I want yo maybe revamp my makeup stash a bit, and I know you Love ColourPop. Any top recommendations on their products (lips, eyes, whichever)???
yes!!!
ultra matte lips – this is their form of a liquid lipstick. they can be pretty drying so i recommend putting on either a lip primer or like a lip balm or vaseline before applying so your lips don’t dry out super fast!! my favorite colors are trap (this GORGEOUS grey/purpley nude), LAX (this is kind of a dark brown/red but it’s widely acknowledged as one of the least consistent formulas so who knows) and mars (a bright hot pink)
lippie stix – this is like a traditional lipstick. i prefer these ten million times more than the UMLs just because they have so many more colors and obv they’re not as drying and potentially uncomfortable. sadly a lot of my favorite colors that i’ve purchased (feminist, a really beautiful blackened purple, and blood, an amazing deep red) are now gone from the website forever but i’ve still got a few that i really like!! lumiere is a really pretty mauvey nude, julep is an awesome bright neon coral, poppin’ is one of their matte x formulas and it’s a blue-toned hot pink, brills is a cool-toned lilac, whip is a sheer bright purple
eyeshadows – i’ll be honest, i’m not the hugest fan of some of colourpop’s eyeshadows. the matte ones are especially hard to blend and you get the best results from applying with your fingers and imo that kind of gives me a more difficult time applying the shadows to the lid. idk. but they do have some really pretty metallic/shimmer shades and i usually use them for just all-over lid shades or as a pop of color if i’m using other brands of shadows. my favorites that i own are bae, a deep purple with a teal/blue duochrome finish, lala, a GORGEOUS rose gold that i have used so much of it has literally fallen apart in the pan, liberty, literally the most blindingly metallic silver eyeshadow you’ll ever see, telepathy, a kind of metallic mustard yellow, and game face, a metallic burnt orange.
eyeliners – i just recently bought some eyeliners from colourpop and i’m really impressed!! they have stick and pot gel eyeliners and so far i’ve had great experiences with both. the shades i have are all very spring/summery and nontraditional colors but i love them. i have the pot liner of teaspoon, a beautiful emerald green that has a bit of a blue tint, the pot liner of prance, a periwinkle blue, and the stick liner of zulu, a seafoam green!! (the stick liners are GREAT for lining your waterline because they stay. all. day.)
highlights/blushes – i only own colourpop’s face products from their strobing i palette and it looks like they’ve actually discontinued that? which sucks. so i can’t really recommend the blush and the highlights i have (but they’re all great!! so take that in good faith i suppose) but i’ve also heard great things about the highlights smoke n whistles/lunch money/wisp from a lot of my friends, so i think those are safe bets!!
