16 x ColourPop Fame Pressed Powder Shadow Palette Look Ideas

ColourPop Fame Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($22.00 for 0.56 oz.) is a 16-pan palette that features an assortment of neutrals that lean slightly more neutral and cooler in undertone (particularly in comparison to the typical neutral palette). I did not find that it was truly cool-toned across the board but rather they leaned rose, plum, or gray rather than peach, yellow, or orange. The shimmers work best when applied over primer or used with a dampened brush, and there were a few shades in the palette that felt a little redundant–I definitely felt a want when putting together potential color combinations for a few deeper, more contrasting crease shades (Lifestyle is almost so dark that it is out of place!) as well as one or two more mid-tone/deep shimmery shades (rather than four light shimmery shades). The overall light and mid-tone depth of the palette I felt made it a little more limited and seemed like it would fit someone with a lighter complexion (generally) and who had preferred their neutrals to be subtle and softer. The overlapping nature of some shades would ensure easier blending, though.

About This Series

Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. I know that I tend to use more like five or six shades in a typical look, but I think that four is a happy medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while giving you the ability to lighten/darken as desired. I have listed the colors in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease.

You might see combinations that seem slightly repeated but placement will vary (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and more shimmery shade is placed on the center) as placement can also create a different effect/look! You might also want to consider incorporating your favorite matte/shimmer shades (as applicable) to increase the versatility of certain palettes. Consider these ideas a jumping off point!
