ColourPop Bae Breeze Eyeliner Kit Review & Swatches
Bae Breeze
ColourPop Bae Breeze Eyeliner Kit ($12.00 for 0.12 oz.) includes a full-sized gel eyeliner and pencil eyeliner in near-matching shades. The pencil was lighter and warmer by a touch–more of an orange-leaning coral–while the gel eyeliner was slightly pinker.

Bae Breeze
Bae Breeze is a brighter, light-medium coral with warmer, more orange undertones and fine golden pearl throughout. The texture was lightly creamy but had some texture to it due to the shimmer particles running through it. I didn’t have any issues applying it to my lash line, as it did not tug or pull during application, and had even, semi-opaque coverage in a single layer. I was able to build up the coverage to opaque with a second layer, though it seemed to dry down to a drier, more matte finish that emphasized my skin texture. It lasted for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.007 oz. - $1000.00 Per Ounce
The updated formula is supposed to have "18-hour" wear that is waterproof and be "super pigmented" for both the lash line as well as the waterline. The brand stated that the formula will set "after around 10 seconds." Many shades had semi-opaque to opaque, buildable coverage, but some shades had uneven, sheerer coverage that did not layer well, so they were more challenging to apply and to use.
The majority of shades were creamy enough to glide across the lash line without tugging or pulling, though a few shades were stiffer, more prone to breaking or dragging.
The formula seemed water-resistant based on testing with water, but the wear was more like 10 to 13 hours (depending on the shade) rather than 18 hours of solid wear. A lot of the shimmer shades lasted four to six hours on the waterline, while more matte shades tended to last five to seven hours on my waterline. These are long-wearing times for a pencil eyeliner, generally, but they are a fair bit short of the 18-hours claimed so a lot of shades rated lower than they might seem if you aren't a stickler for 18-hour wear!

Bae Breeze
Bae Breeze is a medium, pinky-coral with fine, golden pearl throughout. It had nearly opaque coverage in a single layer with a smooth, gel-like texture that had good glide without feeling overly wet. I did find that it had a tendency to separate along lines a bit, so it wasn’t the smoothest-applying in practice (despite feeling fine to the touch!). It stayed on decently for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview
$7.00/0.11 oz. - $63.64 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "long-wearing" with "high-intensity pigment" and a "smooth application." When the shades are nearly opaque, they are often long-wearing and fluid, making them easy to apply and to use as eyeliner or as an eyeshadow base. Sometimes, they can be a little too emollient, where they sheer out more readily when applied in a fluid stroke and are not as easily built up. Most shades wore between eight and 10 hours on me.

I may be able to get away with wearing some coral eyeshadow, but I can only do so using a deeper, cooler eyeliner so that I don’t look as if I have pink-eye. Just not a flattering eyeliner shade for me.
Not exactly the usual stunning CP of old…they have dropped the ball on their formulas lately. It’s always sad to see a good brand go downwards.
