Best ColourPop Pressed Shadows (Eyeshadows)
ColourPop Pressed Powder Shadows
Here’s a look at the top 50 ColourPop Pressed Powder Shadows ($5.00 for 0.042 oz.) that have been reviewed! The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours. The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

Paper Tiger, Come And Get It and Stay Golden are all in my cart at the moment! Along with that vivid violet LE shade!
Thanks for the review! What’s the pan size of these? (Would like to fit into MUFE shadow palettes which I believe are 36mm). Thank you!
They’re much smaller than Make Up For Ever eyeshadows! They are around 26mm.
Ah thank you for the quick response!
Is it just me, or do you think they’ve improved the formula since initial launch?
There are still misses after the initial set, so I don’t think I’d say that as a blanket statement.
Again, Goody Two Shoes would be my pick – it would be the shade I would use the most. Love it.
I love my 4 shades, and I plan to buy the 3 new greeny shades!
Have you ever compared this brand to Coastal Scents’ Hot Pots? Curious how they compare.
Also, I saw that Ulta is launching their house brand of eye shadow singles that you can put into a palette, but they’re something like $8-$8.50 each. Seems like a lot for Ulta brand. Have you tried those yet? Thanks.
Sorry, I haven’t tried anything from that brand in years!
I didn’t buy anything from the initial launch, but I have all the new greens on their way to me right now 🙂
Are you going to review the 10 new colourpop pressed shadows shades they just released? I’d love to know your opinion on the green shades.
Great post! I found this really helpful because I really want to try Colour Pop eyeshadows. Thank you!
Goodie Two Shoes was a clear winner for me. I need to remember to buy it soon.
This is so helpful, thank you !! I think I will take GOODY TWO-SHOES , 143 and COME AND GET IT .
