8 Reasons Why ColourPop Should Be Your New Go-To for Makeup

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Scranton chapter.

ColourPop Cosmetics is a Los Angeles based company that was founded in 2014 by Seed Beauty. They produce an extensive line of lipsticks, lip liners, eyeshadows, blushes, bronzers, highlighters and brow products. I’ve been a loyal fan of ColourPop for about a year, and I’ve compiled a list of reasons why you should check out their website and add a few items to your cart!

 

1. Their liquid lipsticks are unbelievably cheap and come in four different finishes.

ColourPop produces Ultra Matte, Ultra Glossy, Ultra Metallic and Ultra Satin liquid lipsticks, all of which ring in at only $6 each (sometimes $4.80 if there’s a sale).

2. Their Lippie Stix are only $5.

In the world of ColourPop, Lippie Stix are similar to the traditional lipstick, and they’re just as pigmented and long-lasting as their liquid lipsticks.

3. If you want to glow, their highlighters and bronzer will make you shine (and won’t break your bank). Their highlighters and bronzers are all crème powders, and they’ll give you all the sparkle you need to get through the week! Plus, as an added bonus, they’re only $8.

4. Looking for pigment? Check out ColourPop’s super shock eyeshadows. Let’s just say that these shadows definitely deserve their name.

5. They have dupes for Kylie Lip Kit shades.

From Koko K to Dolce K, you can find a dupe for most of the Kylie Lip Kit shades on ColourPop’s website for more than half the price. (Shown below: Beeper from ColourPop)

6. They don’t test on animals.

ColourPop mentions on their “About Us” page that they don’t test on animals, instead testing their new formulas on members for the ColourPop HQ.  

7. Most of their products are vegan.

On their FAQ page, ColourPop states that almost all of their products are vegan, with the exception of a few. Fortunately, they specifically list which ones are not vegan on that same page.

 

8. You get $5 off your first purchase.

Think about it. That’s one of their Lippie Stix. Totally worth it.

 

With ColourPop Cosmetics, it’s now possible to maintain your makeup obsession and your bank account. Happy shopping!
