THE VERDICT:

In college, I was tasked to report an art movement of my choice and I chose Pop Art because I've always loved color, comics, and the principle behind it and that is to challenge the norms of fine art aka cultural norms, thus having a fondness for POP Beauty has never been a challenge for me; it fused two of my favorite things, Pop Art and Makeup.


My most favorite collection from the brand to date is the POP Beauty collection; Pop Beauty went all out on Pop Art with this one and the products deliver too!

POP BEAUTY POP MAKEUP COLLECTION IN DETAIL

This latest collection features products that make skin pop and glow with color. Features a powder quad, liquid lipstick, and colored mascara.

Pow Wow Powder is a mini collection of 3 powders that give either a blushing, bronzing, or strobing effect. The one I have is Strobin' Glow and it has 4 highlighter shades that cater to different skin tones and looks.

L-R: Pearl white, soft gold, icy pink, champagne

The powders have a smooth, soft texture and coverage can be built, which I like because it gives me full control on what degree of strobe that I'd like to sport or glow that I want my skin to have. The highlighters are infused with micro shimmer, giving off a more even, natural- looking strobe; it highlights skin without highlighting pores.

My favorite is the icy pink shade because it shows up easily on my skin; second would be the gold one as it amplifies my tan (or whatever is left of it. Gotta beach soon!).

Lashy Flashy comes in two shades: Tantalizing Teal and Blue Bloom. Permanent Pout is a liquid matte lipstick that provides a soft, velvet matte finish. The lipstick wand is just too straight and jagged for my liking though and I wish it were curved to fit the curves of my lips perfectly. The mascara wand, based on the design, is for lengthening and truly, that's the effect I get from it.

Tantalizing Teal is a lovely color and I'm surprised that it goes well on warm skin.

POP BEAUTY POP MAKEUP COLLECTION IN ACTION

I wore the mascara along with a Make Up For Ever Aqua Matic Cream Eye Shadow Pencil in an electric blue color; Pop Beauty's mascara provided a nice 'lift' for my eyes so it won't be too drowned in so much blue. How's the staying power? It didn't smudge, thankfully, but to be honest, I don't expect the performance of an everyday black/brown mascara from a colored mascara so I'm not too nit-picky on this one.

The shade of my Permanent Pout liquid lipstick is called Razzle Rose and it's a vintage rose color.

This is one of my favorites in this collection; it's a non- drying, pigmented liquid lipstick with a soft, non- drying texture; my dry lips love it!

When I'm tired or I lack sleep, I just whip out this powder quad and strobe away! The highlighters aren't exactly invisible on the skin - in fact, one will know that you are actually wearing a highlighter, but it's not the bad kind; it gives off a sophisticated glow and combats flatness; I wear it with full coverage matte foundations so I won't look too flat. Staying power is okay and needs to be retouched during wear on oily skin.

I'm very happy with this collection, most especially the strobing kit and liquid lipstick; I suggest you try these products!
