ColourPop x NBA Chicago Bulls Seeing Red Eyeliner Duo Review & Swatches
Seeing Red
ColourPop Seeing Red Crème Gel Liner Duo ($14.00 for 0.02 oz.) includes two eyeliners in pearly red and sparkly black. The red eyeliner was nice–shows the brand can, in fact, do a nice eyeliner pencil–while the sparkly black was harder to work with as it was a little thicker and almost tacky in texture… but it had some pigment behind it, at least.

On Fire
On Fire is a deeper red with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single stroke, which was easily built up to full coverage with less than a second layer. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy without being heavy or tacky, which ensured it glided comfortably across my lower lash line. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

From Downtown
From Downtown is a deep black with neutral-to-warm undertones and flecks of silver sparkle throughout. It had mostly opaque color coverage, though the texture was a little tacky and harder to use precisely as it tended to have thicker, slightly ragged edges. The formula was quick-drying, which made it more difficult to buff out imperfections. It lasted for seven and a half hours on me before thinning visibly.

The red pencil, On Fire is lovely but the black shade is a dud.
