ColourPop Cherry Pie & Jubilee Creme Gel Liners Reviews & Swatches
Cherry Pie
ColourPop Cherry Pie Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a bright, orange-red with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was creamier than it may have appeared in the swatch, as the formula was a little denser and thicker, but it was opaque in coverage and didn’t need to be layered or built up at all. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours, left a faint stain behind.
This shade came with the warning that it was “not intended for use around the immediate eye area.”

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!

Jubilee
ColourPop Jubilee Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a vivid, pinky-red with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single pass, which adhered evenly to the lower lash line and moved comfortably across without tugging. The texture was moderately creamy, slightly dense/thick compared to the average eyeliner, and was quick to set. It lasted well for nine hours and left a bit of a pinkish stain behind after I removed it for the day.
This shade came with the warning that it was “not intended for use around the immediate eye area.”

I honestly LOVE these…but not to use on my eyes. Nope, I would be using these as lipliners instead!
Holy Moly these are bright and I hope they are safe to wear around your eyes, as sometimes the red pigment can be irritating.
