Today I'm going to share my thoughts on some of the products in the ColourPop Pretty Fresh Complexion line! They just launched their new Pretty Fresh Foundation a couple of weeks ago. The rest of the line has been out for a while. I didn't like their first No Filter Foundation so I wasn't in a hurry to try this one. After hearing a lot of positive reviews on both the concealer and tinted moisturizer I decided to pick up those as well. Keep reading to hear my thoughts on each!
ColourPop Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Acid Tinted Moisturizer $14.00
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta website:
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta website:
"ColourPop Pretty Fresh Tinted Moisturizer is a hydrating, oil-free tinted moisturizer with lightweight coverage that evens skintone and leaves your skin looking fresh and healthy. Formulated with hyaluronic acid (aka HA) and coconut water to support skin hydration without adding oil, this tinted moisturizer works for all skin types and makeup styles - just customize your routine to create your own look!"
On to my thoughts:
Because of Covid you are not allowed to swatch any products in Ulta. I always go for neutral undertones but considering its the middle of summer I chose the medium tone. I basically had to guess which neutral shade to get since there was more than one in the medium category. i chose the shade Medium 11N (neutral toned). Once I got to my car and swatched it I did think it looked a bit too peach. However, when I put it on it matched pretty well. Now that I've been in the sun a few times since purchasing, it is a bit light but this happens to me every summer. My skintone can go from pretty fair to pretty tan all depending on how often I am in the sun. I used this with concealer and set with powder. Adding some bronzer to my face made the color match better. I would definitely call this light coverage. You can see freckles and a little bit of redness through but it does do a nice job at evening out the skin tone. Using concealer on blemishes and circles gives more coverage and setting it with powder and setting spray helps control any oil and extends the wear time. I really like this tinted moisturizer because its been really hot in Massachusetts lately. It gives enough coverage that makes me feel put together without me having to worry about my makeup melting off or getting rubbed off when wearing a mask. Its definitely lightweight and I don't get too oily when wearing it.I also really like the ingredients in it. I am pretty happy with this tinted moisturizer!
"The ColourPop Pretty Fresh Foundation is a hydrating foundation that delivers medium buildable coverage with a natural skin finish. Infused with Coconut Water & Hyaluronic Acid for hydrated, luminous skin. The flexible formula provides undetectable, medium to full coverage that lasts all day. This vegan foundation is dermatologist tested and oil-free, alcohol-free, and fragrance-free."
On to my thoughts:
After purchasing the tinted moisturizer I still felt like I wanted to try this foundation since its a bit more coverage. I am happy to say that this one is really good too! I chose the shade Medium 85N (neutral) and its a pretty good match. I believe these shade numbers match up with the concealers as I am the same shade in the concealer. This definitely has more coverage than the tinted moisturizer. It is more of a liquid-y consistency. I agree that its medium coverage that you can build up. It is definitely a nice natural finish and your skin still looks like skin when wearing it. I also use concealer, powder, and setting spray with this as well. I didn't notice any serious break down or that I was super oily when wearing it. I did have it rub off on my nose a bit when wearing a mask which is so annoying. It happens to me often when wearing any medium/full coverage makeup. I blame the mask not the makeup. Overall, I really like this foundation too!
Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Creamy Concealer $9.00
On to my thoughts:
Here is what is said about this product on the Ulta website:
"ColourPop's Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Creamy Concealer is a creamy, cushiony, full coverage concealer that seamlessly blends into the skin leaving a natural, fresh finish. Skin-loving, hyaluronic Acid (aka HA) and coconut water hydrate the skin, while full coverage pigments cover and correct blemishes, this combo leaves you with fresh, perfected skin that lasts all day. Oil free, dermatologist tested, and ideal for all skin types."
I used to use the ColourPop No Filter Concealer and liked it but didn't love it. I had heard so many good things about this concealer so I decided I needed to give it a try. I originally picked up the shade Medium 85N (Neutral) and while it matched my skin, I wanted something a little bit lighter for under my eyes to cover my dark circles. I then picked up Light 60N (Neutral) which is a TINY bit lighter. I like the flat paddle brush applicator that comes with it. I also agree that this concealer is creamy but I would call it more medium to full coverage. It of course covers my dark circles and blemishes but not quite as well as Tarte Shape Tape Concealer. It's lighter and not has heavy or matte. That being said I do really like it and think it does a good job.
Here is a close up of the applicator:
Here are swatches of all 4 products:
Please excuse the awful swatches! L-R: Medium 11N Tinted Moisturizer, Medium 85N foundation, Light 60N concealer, and Medium 85N concealer
Overall, I am super impressed with the ColourPop Pretty Fresh complexion line! I had't had luck with their other complexion line in the past. However, this one is really good! Aside from the affordable price point, I love that they are inclusive and offer a large array of shades and undertones for people of all different colors. I would definitely recommend all 3 products that I have discussed in this review!
