Melt Cosmetics OK Boomer & Prissy Gel Liners Reviews & Swatches
OK Boomer
Melt Cosmetics OK Boomer Gel Liner ($19.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a bright, light-medium silver with subtle, cool undertones and a metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a very creamy, fluid consistency that was still thick enough to work well for thin, single-stroke kind of application.
What I really enjoyed about this formula was that it worked as well for lining around the eyes as it did as a cream eyeshadow, which made it more versatile (and will make it easier to finish a single pot of product!). It set fast enough that I felt like I had time to work with it but not so long that it settled into fine lines or moved around. It stayed on well for 10 hours without fading or creasing.

Prissy
Melt Cosmetics Prissy Gel Liner ($19.00 for 0.088 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish-copper with muted, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The creamy consistency that was smooth, emollient without being slippery or watery, and easy to work with using a flat, synthetic brush (to apply all over as an eyeshadow) or a fine, angled or brush-style liner brush for lining around the eyes.
It had opaque color payoff that adhered evenly and set fast enough not to get into fine lines or migrate around but didn’t feel like I had to work at warp speed. There wasn’t any apparent fading after 10 hours of wear.

OK Boomer? No thanks.
I seriously hate this name. I know part of Melt’s brand image is pushing the envelope, but I end up rolling my eyes at them more often than not. Less jeering product names, better eyeshadow formula, ladies.
Prissy is gorgeous! I could see myself using it as a [almost] one and done shadow, too, not just as a liner.
OK Boomer cracks me up because I’m caught between being a “Boomer” and a Gen X’r at the ripe old age of 60. LOL.
Nancy, you’re a full-fledged Boomer, just like me! The range is 1946-1964. I’m still trying to decide if “OK Boomer” makes me laugh or insults me. I’m leaning toward laughing because when we were young, we felt the same way about the older generation. And those young people who are saying OK Boomer to us? They’ll be laughed at by the younger generation soon enough…lol!!!
I was curious to see comments on the name. I generally don’t like when brands try to go a negative PR route, though I totally understand the nod to the generation gap. It just foreshadows what Gen Z will call Gen Y (millenials)… Thankfully Gen Z is too busy rehearsing dance moves for tik tok to start poking fun at us!
What is it about the human psyche that makes us want to lump people into groups or relegate them to a particular group? It must make us feel better to marginalize people. Anyway, I feel lucky that I have a 25 year old daughter because she helps keep me informed and “politically correct”.
Hope you like your new place and being closer to your family. Moving is like a new start or do over so I like to think of it as a positive step. I know you had a weird neighbor so you may feel safer also. The actual move is a lot of work, though.
I do not see these on Sephora Canada, just the mustard colour from the Amor Eterno collection. I really would love to pick up both.
I could have sworn I saw a random comment on one of Melt’s posts about the liners not going to Sephora, but I can’t find it again 🙁
I like both of these but not enough to pick them up. I was looking at Boomer as a replacement for my favorite Ellis Faas Antique Silver but this is too bright so I will pass.
Most of us ‘boomers’ are simply relieved that the young’uns left the ‘baby’ part out. That ‘baby‘ was there for 50 years. I get that it’s a semi-ageist thing and a semi-put-down. But if you cannot laugh at yourself (and we barely can these days for fear of offending s.o.), who can you laugh at? (Or, at whom can you laugh? ([For the grammar police.]). Boomers understand classic old Guerlain chypres. Gen whatever prefers fruity, bubblegummy stuff that seems puerile and derivative to me. They say ‘old lady perfume.’ I say, it hasn’t been around for >100 years for no reason. They think they invented MJ; those of us who lived through the 60s and 70s know better. Do they tech better? Undoubtedly. But is boomer grammar/boomer spelling generally better? Yup. Me and my mother always said to give that puppy to him and I. WTF? People actually speak like that. I think education and exposure are great levelers of intergenerational differences. And maybe a gen whatever can explain to this boomer (speech pathologist) why a room full of 25-30 somethings do not speak or interact, but use the phone non-stop, and occasionally text one another? They despair of us, but many of us do not have/cannot aspire to our parent’s lifestyle, either. There’s a fair amount of resentment behind the phrase, as well as general disparagement. Give it all a rest, and laugh a little. Hey, my new work bestie is 29. There is common ground on which to meet.
I do like the color of “OK, Boomer.” I don’t understand the reasoning for picking the name. That phrase was used in a particular context for a particular person regarding climate change. When I see the name for this shade, in my mind I see this as clumping folks in the “Boomer” category and disregards countless people who have been advocating for the environment for many many years before Millennials or Gen Z ever came into existence. To me, it’s just a put down and that is just a turn off. I’m at the tail end of Gen X/beginning of the Millennial category BTW.
Prissy (dislike the name) is a stunning shade and has an excellent rating. It’s a colour I can see myself wearing.
I like Prissy too! Where can these be found?
I’m really liking Ok Boomer , the name is funny and the silver has some impact ! I was a little sad the actual palette didn’r acore higher but I could see picking this up .
I don’t like the names. And yes, I have a sense of humor. Just tired of the wink wink stereotyping and lumping people together.
