Woodsy

ColourPop Woodsy Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a medium brown with muted, warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage that adhered evenly to my skin but felt slightly drier than ideal as it tugged a touch on my lower lash line as I tried to work it across. This shade lasted well for eight 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!

Spare Thyme

ColourPop Spare Thyme Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a medium-dark green with subtle, warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a lightly creamy texture that had just enough glide not to tug on my lash line. It didn’t smudge readily as it was quick to set. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Marigold

ColourPop Marigold Crème Gel Liner ($5.00 for 0.01 oz.) is a rich, deeper yellow with strong, warm undertones and a flat, matte finish. It had opaque color payoff in a single stroke, which applied evenly on my lower lash line without dragging or tugging. The texture was lightly creamy–enough not to drag–but it felt like it set very quickly. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.
