ColourPop Descanso Creme Gel Colour

ColourPop Descanso Creme Gel Colour ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as a “bright purple.” It’s a bold, bright, medium-dark violet purple with cool undertones and bluish micro-glitter. It had mostly opaque color payoff with a creamy consistency that wasn’t too heavy, nor did it take too long to dry (it is quicker-drying). The color is so vibrant and pops well on the lash line, but I had issues with the glitter and color flaking on me over time, even though much of the color remained visible for over eight hours. NARS Blue Lotus (P, $24.00) is less shimmery, darker, more muted (85% similar). NARS St. Marks Place (P, $24.00) is less shimmery, darker (85% similar). KVD Beauty Homie (PiP, $10.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). KVD Beauty Roxy (P, $18.00) is less shimmery, darker (85% similar). Buxom Door's Unlocked (P, $17.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). Sephora Eccentric Diva (DC, $10.00) is darker, warmer (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

ColourPop Teaspoon Creme Gel Colour ($6.00 for 0.11 oz.) is described as an “intense emerald green.” It’s a medium-dark green with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque coverage with a thin, creamy texture that tended to sheer out when applied, so it is better applied in deliberately thin layers or in shorter strokes to maximize opacity. The consistency looks drier in the swatch than it felt and worked out in person. The color wore for over eight hours on me. KVD Beauty Lemmy (P, $18.00) is darker, warmer (95% similar). ColourPop Teaspoon (LE, $7.00) is more muted (95% similar). About Face Call Me Crazy (P, $13.00) is lighter, warmer (85% similar). Melt Cosmetics Fortuna (P, $19.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Buxom Ring My Bell (P, $17.00) is darker (85% similar). Sephora Indulge Yourself (22) (DC, $10.00) is more shimmery, lighter (80% similar). ColourPop Canopy (LE, $7.00) is lighter, warmer (80% similar). Haus Labs Grime (P, $18.00) is lighter, warmer (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.
