ColourPop Big Poppy Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Big Poppy
ColourPop Big Poppy 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, all-matte eyeshadow palette that revolved around warmer, more orange-leaning shades. The eyeshadows were mostly opaque to opaque in coverage, blendable and easy to work with, and had good longevity. The bigger “downside” was that some shades were more powdery, so there was light fallout during application, but they were typically more substantial, so they remained pigmented and still went on evenly.

Day Tripper
Day Tripper is a light-medium peach with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with a soft, moderately powdery texture that had some fallout during application, so it was better to use earlier on in a look as it could cause other shades to lighten and lose some warmth. The color showed signs of fading after seven and a half hours of wear.

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.

Get Around
Get Around is a bright, medium orange with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency seemed slightly thinner and a touch drier, which resulted in this shade being more prone to reacting to any natural oils/tackiness on the skin. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation with a fairly blendable texture, but it was a shade better over dry skin or over a primer. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

This is orange OVERKILL. Good grief. Several of the shades look nearly identical.
So many of us sigh at these CP releases. Oooh, yeah. Been there, done that. But we should remember that there are millions of fans coming up, who are new to stash building and m/u acquisition. If I were a newbie, I’d be all over this, both in the late 70s and now! It’s the muted, shy cousin of Yes, Please and Orange You Glad? This is orange/rust with a very low bold factor. I like it!
Agreed. Given the price point and packaging, CP releases seem appealing and appropriate for young consumers just starting to amass a collection.
I’m glad I waited on swatches for this because I’d assumed it would be redder… I guess poppies come in orange too. I lukewarm like it still but I have enough orange.
Even though matte and orange leaning palettes are not my fan fav – at least CP has its A game back on and this one rates pretty well.
Ooooh, this is a gorgeous palette!
oh no I love colors like these and use them all the time
Why, oh why did I have to read this? This palette is so lovely! But I’m going to shop my stash for dupes. All those colors look very familiar.
