Coloured Raine Date Night & Passion Eyeshadows Reviews, Photos, Swatches
Date Night
Coloured Raine Date Night Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.064 oz.) is a dark plum with warm, brown undertones and a pearly sheen. It had rich, opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges. The texture was smooth, not too firm or too soft in the pan, but didn’t feel as dense or as cream-like as some of the brand’s other eyeshadows (not a bad thing, just something I noticed). This shade started to fade on me after eight and a half hours of wear.

Formula Overview
$6.99/0.064 oz. - $109.22 Per Ounce
2022 Formula: The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented" and "blendable" with a "butterly smooth" feel.The majority of the matte eyeshadows were quite pigmented, while some of the shimmers were overly emollient, which resulted in sheerer and/or uneven coverage.
The matte eyeshadows have a bit of dryness to them, though they were pigmented and fairly blendable, but they tended to apply best over an eyeshadow primer, which ensured a better base for them to adhere to. The shimmer eyeshadows were best applied with fingertips or a flat, firm (and sometimes dampened) brush and pressed/patted into place, then lightly blended.
I did not love the two finishes paired together as the matte finish was thinner and more powdery compared to the thicker, denser shimmers, so the shimmers often "erased" the matte eyeshadows when blended out.
The formula was different than the brand's original single pan formula that they originally debuted with, and I preferred their original formula overall, though the new one is decent, just not as foolproof to work with.
Original formula review: The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented, long-lasting, and blendable" and come in a variety of finishes. Most their eyeshadows are semi-opaque to opaque with a smooth, blendable textures that are easy to use and apply well to bare skin. The shimmers are slightly dense and creamier to the touch compared to the mattes, which aren't thin but don't have the same amount of slip. They tend to wear between eight and nine hours on me.

Passion
Coloured Raine Passion Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.064 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark red with warm, copper undertones and a metallic sheen. It was incredibly pigmented–the kind of pigmentation where the barest touch of the brush yields fully opaque coverage in a single stroke. The texture was smooth, creamy, and blendable, and the eyeshadow applied evenly to bare skin and adhered for nine hours before starting to crease faintly.

I always love seeing the A+s 🙂
It’s a gorgeous colour too, glad it performed so well.
They are beautiful!
I really like both, but I’ll probably end up choosing Date Night because I’m pretty sure I have a dupe for Passion. Or at least something similar enough that I can pick up Passion later on.
Perfect 🙂
I have dupes but glad these scored well! They are stunning
They were both so intense!
SO beautifully pigmented. It’s time I gave coloured raine a try, I think.
Let me know how you like the brand if you end up trying, Indya!
Both of these shades are ultra rich and so pigmented! Coloured Raine always brings it! As soon as I can extract myself from the LE madness that has overtaken me, I will assess which of their shades I would absolutely love to have. I know for a fact Date Night is amongst them!
They really do some lovely shimmers!
???. My jaw dropped! Ugh so so stunning and rich looking!!!!
I know! They are intense!
These two are beautiful! They went directly to the wishlist. I think I must edit that poor list some day soon. I am sort of waiting for that hyped palette that’s coming back in the fall. It’s late here and I have forgotten what it was called, but you all know.
So, maybe I should wait with Passion as Noblewoman is a dupe and get Date Night. so hard to decide. I think I’ll just sleep on it and come morning I’ll probably have forgotten all about these as something else grabs my attention.
Anyway, the eyeshadows are gorgeous. It seems like CR are really good at making interesting colours and with good quality.
If you have the Queen of Hearts palette or want that palette (for more than Noblewoman), then I’d skip the single and wait for the palette, but it is a great replacement for Noblewoman if that was the only one that called to you from the palette!
I need these in my life.
They are both very intense shades — very fall-like to me, though certainly usable any time of the year 😉
Date Night is such a beautiful mix of plum shades and I could see it working well with lots of other neutral shades.
Both colours are winners.
Agreed — two great shades!
Ohhh, very very nice.
They were!
Wow these are stunning and the pigmentation is amazing!
