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.

Why’d I put this on my WL when I’m pretty sure I have these shades already to at least a reasonable degree? But, I really do like it a lot!
I find that when CP does these little quads, the pgimentation of all shades is generally of a very good quality. I really like the shimmers in this one – these are those that I would wear in summer.
