ColourPop Fresh Cut Creme Gel Liner Set Review & Swatches
Exit
ColourPop Exit Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a pale white with neutral undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation in one stroke, which didn’t build up much beyond that. The texture was drier compared to the other liners I tried with it, though it didn’t tug or pull on my lower lash line. It wore well for seven hours before showing signs of fading.

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!

Extra Frosting
ColourPop Extra Frosting Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a pale yellow with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage that adhered unevenly and was a patchier product to work with. I wasn’t able to build up or layer the color to get more even, opaque coverage, unfortunately. The texture felt lightly creamy and smooth enough while I worked with it, so at least it was comfortable to apply. There was noticeable fading after seven hours of wear.

Peach Fuzz
ColourPop Peach Fuzz Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a bright, light-medium coral-orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which adhered evenly and smoothly to my lower lash line without tugging or dragging.
The texture felt lightly creamy as it glided easily over my lower lash line but didn’t feel so emollient that it migrated while drying down. The color stayed on nicely for eight hours before showing signs of fading.

Ice Breaker
ColourPop Ice Breaker Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a light-medium, minty green with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. The texture was creamy without being too emollient, so it glided comfortably across my lash line without pulling.
It had nearly opaque coverage in a single stroke, though the color applied somewhat patchily. It was particularly uneven when I tried using it on my lower waterline. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours before fading/thinning noticeably.

Big Splash
ColourPop Big Splash Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a bright, bluish-aqua with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had a creamy consistency that was comfortable to work with on my lower lash line, but it had a chalkiness to it that made it hard to get even coverage.
The color seemed to separate a bit as I applied it, which resulted in even patchier application despite being fairly pigmented. There was fading visible after seven hours of wear.

I’ve had really good luck with the CP liners in the past and have a handful of them in neutral and bright colors (Over Board is my favorite and I’ve reordered a couple times). Such a shame to see so many misses here with a very cute collection. I still think I’m going to try Peach Fuzz or Amethyst Hour, but holding out until some of the other items I’ve run out of go back in stock.
Some good dupes here for Fenty Flypencils.
This makes me feel better about these being sold out when I tried to order them!
Sorry these are so poor, but still in. Still have to finish cleaning up the Zulu pencil that i ground into the floor. So many ways to m/u fail. Total liner HººR here.
These are leaving me feeling ‘meh’ about them. The only 2 shades I was remotely interested in, Extra Frosting and Ice Breaker, just didn’t do that great. Might still buy Extra Frosting to dull down the pink hues of my lower waterline.
very pretty colours, a pity that the score it’s so and so. I love automatic pencil for the lower lash line and sometimes also the waterline. IMO the king of automatic eyepencils is kiko. Their pencil are the best I’ve ever tried, they beat much more expensive brands. For example, now that it’s quitewarm, automatic pencil of other brands like mac smudge immediatly in the lower lash line (not to mention the inner waterline), kiko’s ones do not. The colour range has some pretty pastel shades too. I bought I nice mint green to complement huda beauty mint palette and I’m thinking also about the azure.
Such a mixed bag. Luckily, these are a little too pastel for my personal preferences.
Hmmm – so sad that Colour Pop is going the way of Too Faced, UD at the moment – putting out substandard products. These shades aren’t for me, but for those who like them, this is a big disappointment.
