ColourPop Bare It All Eyeshadow Quad Review & Swatches
Bare It All
ColourPop Bare It All Pressed Powder Shadow Quad ($9.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a new, all-matte, neutral eyeshadow quad that leaned warmer, mid-tone to deep, and was more orange-toned All four shades were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing with the biggest “con” being that the formula was lightly to moderately powdery, so using a lighter hand or tapping off excess would be ideal. They were more of a velvety-matte, which gave them a denser, more substantial feel.

Full-Bodied
Full-Bodied is a bright, peachy-orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had opaque color coverage with a soft, moderately powdery consistency that felt a little thin, though it didn’t sheer out as much as I expected. It stayed on nicely for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably.

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.

Original
Original is a slightly muted, medium orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was soft, blendable, and somewhat powdery, but it kept its full opacity when applied to bare skin and blended out along the edges. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Flaunt It is a medium brown with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in one layer, which adhered well to bare skin and blended out with ease.

Another winning all in one matte quad! ColourPop seems to have nailed it with these simple little quads.
I’d love to see all of these little palettes swatched from lightest to darkest colors, like imagining them all as being one big palette and then swatching all the colors lightest to darkest. I’m so curious how they would all look swatches up an arm like that. You know what I mean?
In a variety of neutral shades to suit differing skintones, CP has done these very well.
