ColourPop No Shame Creme Gel Liner

ColourPop No Shame Creme Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is described as a “saturated blackened violet.” It’s a muted, blackened plum with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. The texture wasn’t as creamy as other pencils in the range, though it wasn’t dry and didn’t tug on the lash line when I tried using it. It had semi-sheer pigmentation in one pass, and it was buildable to semi-opaque coverage, but it didn’t layer as well as I had hoped (it almost lifts the color in places). The color wore well for eight and a half hours on me. The pot version is darker, richer. Stila Black Amethyst (P, $22.00) is lighter, warmer (90% similar). ColourPop No Shame (P, $7.00) is darker (90% similar). MAC Ash Violet (DC, $16.00) is more shimmery, lighter (85% similar). MAC Nightcast (P, $17.00) is lighter (85% similar). Bobbi Brown Twilight Night (P, $23.00) is more shimmery, darker, cooler (85% similar). Make Up For Ever M80 Matte Plum (P, $21.00) is lighter, cooler (80% similar).

ColourPop No Shame Creme Gel Colour ($6.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “saturated blackened violet.” It’s a blackened purple with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque pigmentation with a lightly creamy consistency–creamy enough that it was pigmented and didn’t skip on the skin, but it dries down very, very quickly and becomes unworkable once it is applied so be patient and careful when using. It wore well for ten hours on me before thinning subtly. ColourPop No Shame (P, $7.00) is lighter (90% similar). Stila Black Amethyst (P, $22.00) is lighter (90% similar). Fenty Beauty Purp-a-trader (P, $22.00) is lighter (90% similar). MAC Nightcast (P, $17.00) is lighter (85% similar). Bobbi Brown Twilight Night (P, $23.00) is more shimmery, lighter, cooler (85% similar). MAC Ash Violet (DC, $16.00) is more shimmery, lighter (85% similar).

ColourPop Best O Creme Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is described as a “deepened burgundy.” It’s a dark, burgundy with warm, plummy red undertones and an ultra-matte finish–it’s very flat and appears almost dry. The texture is actually creamy, but it dries down to an all-matte finish with absolutley no sheen. Once it dries down, it is hard to smudge, so it’s an eyeliner that wears better but can be unforgiving if you make mistakes (you’ll need remover to fix!). On me, the eyeliner wore well for nine hours before thinning slightly. The pencil is quite a bit lighter and has a stronger warm tone to it than the pot version. ColourPop Best O (P, $7.00) is darker (85% similar). Chanel Psyche (959) (P, $34.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). Estee Lauder Burgundy Suede (P, $28.00) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar). ColourPop Charmer (P, $7.00) is darker, cooler (85% similar). Marc Jacobs Beauty Fine(wine) (P, $24.00) is lighter (80% similar). Wayne Goss Deep Amethyst (P, $14.00) is darker, cooler (80% similar). bareMinerals 6AM (LE, $15.00) is more shimmery, cooler (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

ColourPop Best O Creme Gel Colour ($6.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “deepened burgundy.” It’s a deep, dark burgundy with a slightly muted and a matte finish. It had good color payoff in a single pass and didn’t skip or drag when I applied it to the lower lash line with an angled brush. The color is deeper in the pot form than in the pencil. The color lasted for ten hours without fading or smudging on me. MAC Dark Diversion (DC, $16.00) is darker, glossier (95% similar). ColourPop Best O (P, $7.00) is lighter (85% similar). MAC Earth Sign (LE, $16.00) is more shimmery (90% similar). Illamasqua Havoc (P, $27.50) is darker, glossier (95% similar). Burberry Pale Grape No. 04 (P, $29.00) is darker (95% similar).

It had semi-opaque coverage in a single stroke, and it was fairly buildable to opaque coverage with two to three layers. The pencil was lightly creamy and didn’t skip or drag on the lash line, despite looking dry in the swatch, it is quite creamy until it dries down (which is almost instantly).

ColourPop Call Me Creme Gel Colour ($6.00 for 0.10 oz.) is described as a “deep, plummy brown.” It’s a rich, dark chocolate brown with warm, reddish undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was intensely pigmented with a lightly creamy consistency that made it easy to work with, but it dries down quickly and doesn’t budge after that, so you have to be careful and have a steady-hand to avoid mistakes.

These reviews are pretty promising! Definitely less disappointing than the MUG mattes, at least! Lol.

I’m curious to see how the pastel eyeliners will do. I picked up the lavender & it’s arriving on Saturday, so I really hope it’s comprable in rating.

And if all this isn’t enough, Colourpop announced that they’re dropping their holiday sets on Monday. I love that brand but they make me feel like I can never catch a breath with all these nonstop releases!!

Lunasol Nagy Avatar

Yes they are having 3 sets for the holidays releasing nov 2!!!!! A set of lippies, a set of shadows, and a set of liners and gel pots!!!!!

Nancy T Avatar

The gel-pot versions on Best O and No Shame would have to be my favorites out them all. Definitely need those two, because they are such green and/or hazel eyed friendly shades! So yes, these will be in my next order.

Trina Avatar

I ordered a lot of liners but now i kinda wish i would of got the pots. They are so much more saturated and it seems you got longer wear time. I’m not the best at applying pot liners and these dry so fast. There isn’t any room for mistakes with these. My order arrives today i can’t wait to try them out! Super excited for Nov 2nd!

Bummer about No shame pencil! I lust threw down $32 for the Chanel Vamp collection pencil. It’s a LE and I really don’t want to fall in love with it. But, from swatching it at the display, I just might! I cheap knock off would be great! Hey Christine have you noticed that all the MJB highliners are pulled from Sephora’s website? I can’t find my “in the buff” which is my go to for my lower waterline. So, I rushed to order in an emergency situation. All the shades are exed out! I’m guessing it must have to do with them being stiff? My Stonefox is a nub and I used it twice maybe. Agh..I have no In the buff though!

Nicole Avatar

Sounds like it. I called Sephora to see what was up. They said it was an issue with quality control on the end of MJB. Hope they come back soon. I know they are pricey. But, they’e my faves. I’m going to have to tear my house apart to try to find my line ” in the buff ” pencil! 🙂 Its driving me nuts not knowing where it is! Lol

Vanessa Avatar

MJ sent a letter when the eyeliners were to be pulled. I believe (it’s been a little while so I don’t remember the exact details) there was a issue with the cap or casing itself causing the liner to dry up and break. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a way to find out what pencils were affected, so they decided to pull them all rather than risk customers getting a damaged one. At the moment, they haven’t sent more and I’m not sure when they are.

I’m SO glad the Best O potted liner did well! I’ve been looking for a gel-pot liner that exact color for more than a year now, and at $6 and an A rating I literally couldn’t have asked for more!

Kayle Avatar

You have no idea how glad I am that the gel pots are doing so well! The colors are all so unique so I was super excited and I’m glad they’re living up to my hype. I hope Fast Lane performs just as nicely because I’ve developed an obsession with teal recently.

I’m deffo picking up Best O in my next order and I’m sure No Shame and Call Me will worm their way into my hoard shortly afterwards!

Vanessa Avatar

I’m loving some of these liners!! I do wish some of the bright ones had some shimmer to them though. I can never have enough green/teal/purple liners!

MissJae1908 Avatar

Of the items listed above, I purchased Best O and I must say that I am impressed! I swear that Colour Pop can do no wrong! I have about 30-35 items from their brand. Of those, there’s only one item that I did not like…I think that’s pretty good!?

Sae Avatar

Man. I am a total sucker for brownish burgundies so BEST O just looks so amazing to me. I’m gonna have to grab that liner! So glad to read that it wears well and dries down completely matte. I have completely oil lids that are hooded (asian) however and always wear waterproof liners – think BEST O liner would work for me?

So my package arrived two days ago and I’ve been wearing several of the pencil liners for yesterday the whole day. I somehow noticed a lot of transfer on my lid from DTLA (pencil). Bee Sting faded kinda fast on me too (half-day). The shimmer ones are pretty good on my waterline tho. I’ll give DTLA another try, with primer and see how it goes. It’s such a beautiful color!!!! Swerve (pitch black) in the pot is really great, also!
