ColourPop Radioactive & Mineral Girl Creme Gel Liners Reviews & Swatches

Radioactive

ColourPop Radioactive Crème Gel Colour ($7.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a darker, grayish-taupe base with flecks of dirty gold and pink sparkle that gave it a more metallic finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation in a single layer. The texture was barely emollient, and while I thought maybe it was just the top layer that was drier, it didn’t improve as I dug deeper into the pot.

Unfortunately, this made it harder to apply fluidly, so it had to be applied in shorter, overlapping strokes, and I had to go back for more as it dried down as I was placing it, so product ended up drying on my brush instead. It was hard to remove, so it was very long-wearing, which was an upside! The eyeliner stayed on well for over 10 hours.

Formula Overview

$7.00/0.11 oz. - $63.64 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "long-wearing" with "high-intensity pigment" and a "smooth application." When the shades are nearly opaque, they are often long-wearing and fluid, making them easy to apply and to use as eyeliner or as an eyeshadow base. Sometimes, they can be a little too emollient, where they sheer out more readily when applied in a fluid stroke and are not as easily built up. Most shades wore between eight and 10 hours on me.

Mineral Girl

ColourPop Mineral Girl Crème Gel Colour ($7.00 for 0.11 oz.) is a deep, bluish-gray with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a drier, almost stiff, consistency that was difficult to apply fluidly.

I could use shorter, more overlapping strokes and then build up to even it out, but it was unforgiving and could not be smudged/buffed out at all to soften the edge. Once on, it was more iron-like in its wear, so if one could manage a good application, it lasted for over 10 hours on me.
