The ones that stick out to me are ColourPop and Urban Decay right now. ColourPop felt like it took MAC's spot when it came to fast and furious releases, but they did it with a fairly high-level of quality and consistency (even more so for the price!). However, I feel like they were more innovative and creative with their launches before; the last year has feel more stagnant and directionless. They have a weak core range, and they can't seem to figure out an actual, permanent set of products.

                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many!  The ones that stick out to me are ColourPop and Urban Decay right now. ColourPop felt like it took MAC&#8217;s spot when it came to fast and furious releases, but they did it with a fairly high-level of quality and consistency (even more so for the price!). However, I feel like they were more innovative and creative with their launches before; the last year has feel more stagnant and directionless. They have a weak core range, and they can&#8217;t seem to figure out an actual, permanent set of products. Their quality has been less consistent over time, though I think that&#8217;s partially due to changes in their formulas (which may be what their demographic wants). Lastly, I feel like they used to be more inclusive with their launches and many of their collections seem to be lighter and lighter-leaning.  </p>
<p>Urban Decay is a brand that feels like it went all-in on Naked, so their identity is quite different now than what it used to be (and sometimes, the way they name products or position themselves today is at odds with that). I think their quality is inconsistent, especially with eyeshadows.  I used to want to collab with UD because they had a great eyeshadow formula, but on that dream list of brands to work with&#8230; they&#8217;re not there any more&#8211;I think that says a lot about how inconsistent they&#8217;ve become. They also release the same type of shades over and over again in a way that sometimes feels like new name, same shade, which is unusual (like it&#8217;s one thing to release neutral palette after neutral palette, but you can usually spot the differences, even if minor!).</p>        <div class="text-right highlight bold">
