$aucey

ColourPop $aucey Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.21 oz.) is one of two, limited edition palettes from the collaboration with iluvsarahii. I really feel like ColourPop has improved their powder eyeshadow formula from its initial launch, as their mattes are still very blendable and pigmented but seem smoother and less messy/powdery. This palette performed well with the eyeshadows being fairly pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing, and they also coordinated well with each other for a cohesive look.

Heavy Glam

Heavy Glam is a light-medium coral-orange with warm undertones and pink and gold pearl. It had great pigmentation with a soft, lightly creamy texture that was dense without being too firm in the pan. The eyeshadow applied well to bare skin, blended out with ease, and lasted for eight hours on me.

Formula Overview

$4.50/0.05 oz. - $90.00 Per Ounce

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.

Chic Happens

Chic Happens is a muted, medium-dark mauve with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff, which was buildable to full coverage with a heavier hand or by adding just a touch more on top. The eyeshadow had a soft, smooth texture that wasn’t powdery nor was it too firmly pressed in the pan. It wore well for seven and a half hours before fading on me.

Lit

Lit is a medium-dark plum with warm, brown undertones and slightly less-warm pink and plum pearl that gave it a more metallic sheen. It had rich color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin, while the texture was smooth, cream-like, and moderately dense. I had no trouble picking up color on my eyeshadow brush, but it had an almost wet-like feel in the pan. The color lasted well on my eyelid for eight hours.

Razy

Razy is a deep eggplant with neutral-to-warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. There was nearly imperceptible micro-shimmer strewn through it, which I didn’t notice once I applied the eyeshadow to my lid. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety texture that wasn’t powdery or too firmly pressed in the pan. The eyeshadow seemed slightly drier compared to other mattes in the line-up but not truly dry (like some red eyeshadows have been). This shade wore well for eight hours on me.
