Affordable beauty brand [ColourPop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shadow-of-secrets-collection) recently added to its selection with the launch of its 'SuperNova Liquid Shadows,' which are ideal for consumers who are looking for an easy way to add a little glam to their look.

The shadows come in five pigmented shades that have an opaque finish to them: 'Dragon,' 'Walk of Fame,' 'Firecracker,' 'Moonlit,' and 'Hard to Empress.' These shades range from deep hues of plum and burgundy, to eye-catching bronze and gold. As the shadows are so pigmented, consumers can choose to use them all over their lids, as a base for a smokier look, or even as a [shimmering eyeliner](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gogo-cooling-shimmer-eyeshadow-stick).

As each [liquid shadow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swirld) runs for just $7 USD, consumers can pick up various shades for an affordable price.
