Angel Face

Coloured Raine Angel Face Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.064 oz.) is a soft, medium peach with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. It had rich, opaque pigmentation with a soft, silky consistency that wasn’t too powdery nor was it too firmly pressed in the pan, which made it easy to blend and diffuse on the lid. The eyeshadow wore well for eight hours before fading on me.

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.

Hot Cocoa

Coloured Raine Hot Cocoa Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.064 oz.) is a medium-dark brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. The pigmentation was opaque, while the eyeshadow had a soft, silky texture that applied evenly and smoothly to bare skin. It blended out without trouble, and it wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me.

Native

Coloured Raine Native Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.064 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark coppery brown with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. It had rich, opaque color coverage paired with a soft, blendable texture that was a touch dusty but did not look dry on the skin. The color was easy to work with on bare lids and lasted for eight and a half hours on me.

Gumby

Coloured Raine Gumby Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.064 oz.) is a medium-dark green with cool undertones and a matte finish. It had good color payoff, which was buildable to opaque coverage in two layers. The consistency was a touch drier in the pan, particularly noticeable by touch, but when I applied it to the lid, it blended out fairly well. The color stayed on well for almost nine hours.

Majestic

Coloured Raine Majestic Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.064 oz.) is a brighter, medium blue with cool undertones and a matte finish. The color payoff was nearly opaque, and it was buildable to full coverage by patting on a little more. I found it easiest to work with by building up the color or using a flat brush to pat on the product, and then use a clean, fluffy brush to diffuse the edges as it wasn’t the easiest eyeshadow to blend out otherwise. I noticed fading after eight and a half hours of wear.

Angel Face is for me — I have been looking for a peachy eyeshadow — and Native too while I’m at it. These will be my first Coloured Raine products;, looking forward to it.

Gumby!!!!! I love it. It’s hard to find a cool green color! I rarely wear green on my eyes because they are green with a central heterochromia so it’s hard to find a green that works with all the tones in my eyes. The out rim of the iris is a dark teal/blue color color, with a green majority and an amber/gold flare right around the pupil. Most warm greens clash with the outer rim color and make the whites of my eyes look jaundiced!
