9 x ColourPop Mar Eyeshadow Palette Look Ideas
ColourPop Mar 9-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($12.00 for 0.36 oz.) is one of two newly released powder eyeshadow palettes released by the brand for their summer collection. I liked most of the shades, and I felt like I could come up with some color combinations, but it did take some thinking to blend the cooler shades with all the very warm-toned hues in the palette, and I found myself limited quite a bit by staying within this palette–it would be better to complement another palette, I think.
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!

Several of the shades in this palette put me in mind of the UD Beached palette (which I just picked up last night) – of course, this one is a lot less pricey but online, shipping and all the rest are just not for me.
I have avoided getting this palette for precisely the thought that you expressed concerning the color configuration of it. Colourpop missed an excellent opportunity to do a take on the Tarte “Icy Betch” April fool’s palette! I’d have been so on it if CP had done an all oceanic teal/seafoam green/deep blue/palest gray-white/etc. Palette, because they CAN. C’mon ColourPop, do the dang thing! ????
Sydney Grace and Devinah both did “dupes” of Icy Betch, in case that’s of interest. I’ve heard great things about Sydney Grace mattes, so I’ve been considering that one for a while.
Thanks for this (I think, I’m supposed to be on a low buy, he he he)! Both look amazing. Fyrinnae had a couple of their Pressed Exquisites back in stock so I was already bad…
I sure hear ya! I’m holding off on these for a while, but I’m likely to get one of the sets or some of the singles in them at some point.
Awww these is gorgeous! Containing all those gold, copper tones plus the greens and blues! ? Id love to get for my daughter as few of the shades I already have in Yes Please! Another gorgeous set!
Gorgeous shadow combinations Christine to get the most out of this palette. Thank you so much.
Thank you for these ideas! I have used this palette only once and wasn’t thrilled with how my look turned out. I’m glad to have some other inspiration.
Beached but better. Wish I could get Colourpop here in Europe.
I ordered 5 palettes from sol y mar and 4 of them came broken. They are sending replacements. However I realized that the pans are removable, so I spent a long time cleaning and then took pans from the other ones and substituted so that I would have some complete compacts. In some cases, it has different colors to what it started with, but all 9 spaces are filled. I have one empty palette, but since I deported some of my other ones also, this can be used to make a look for travel.
None of the substituted ones can be used for gifts as they still don’t look clean, so I will pass them on to close friends.
