Big Leo Energy

ColourPop Big Leo Energy Pressed Powder Shadow Quad ($9.00 for 0.21 oz.) includes two shimmer shades (peachy-coral, rich yellow) and two matte shades (mid-tone orange, reddish-brown). All four shades were very pigmented, had smooth, blendable textures, and were easy enough to work with.

A Star is Born

A Star is Born is a bright, light-medium coral with warmer undertones and lighter, peachy gold shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. The consistency was smooth, moderately dense but had enough slip to help the product adhere fairly well to bare skin. I’d recommend using a slightly lighter hand when picking up the product as there was a bit of powderiness! It wore well for eight and a half hours before fading a bit.

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.

Centerstage

Centerstage is a vivid, medium-dark yellow with strong, warm (more orange-leaning) undertones and a soft, metallic sheen. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that was dense without being thick or overly firmly-pressed into the pan. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Warm-Hearted

Warm-Hearted is a medium-dark orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out with little effort. The texture was smooth, finely-milled, and velvety without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Charisma (Leo)

Charisma (Leo) is a rich, darker brown with warm, reddish undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, smooth, and velvety with light powderiness, but there was a real creaminess to it that helped it sit beautifully on skin. It had opaque color coverage that wore well for eight hours on me before fading a bit.
