ColourPop Aurora Struck Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Aurora Struck

ColourPop Aurora Struck 30-Pan Shadow Palette ($35.00 for 0.92 oz.) is the newest, mega-sized palette from the brand inspired by the Northern Lights. It contains a wide variety of shimmers and mattes, along with a few glitters (with PET). Overall, the quality was as expected: mattes could be a little powdery but generally were pigmented and blendable, while the shimmers were less consistent and some were too emollient at times so they applied better with a fingertip or a dampened brush.

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.
