ColourPop Upsy Daisy Eyeliner Set Review & Swatches
Upsy Daisy
ColourPop Upsy Daisy Crème Gel Liner Kit includes five, twist-up pencil eyeliners with a mix of new and repromoted shades. This set was better than some I’ve tested from ColourPop, as the majority were creamy enough to apply without becoming uneven or breaking, which have been issues I’ve experienced in the past.
Ingredients
Upsy Daisy
LELimited Edition.
Extra Frosting
Extra Frosting is a very pale yellow with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color coverage that a slightly waxy feel that seemed to push around product more than ideal, so the application wasn’t as even as desired. It was particularly noticeable on the water line, so it didn’t work well for brightening on me. It wore well for seven hours before thinning 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!

On Point
On Point is a brighter, medium-dark orange-coral with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. The texture was lightly creamy, so it glided comfortably across my lash line without tugging but didn’t feel overly wet. It had mostly opaque color coverage in one pass. It lasted well for eight hours before thinning noticeably.

Idyllic
Idyllic is a deep olive green with warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff paired with a lightly creamy texture that was comfortable to work with, though it didn’t layer evenly–as a thin line, it wasn’t noticeable, though, in person. It stayed on well for eight hours before thinning a bit.

Yes, these do look better overall than some of the others you have reviewed lately Christine. Captivating was my favourite amongst the group – love that goldy bronze shade. I would have liked Idyllic better if it had been in a shimmery/pearl finish.
