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.

Actually this is quite a nice very cool toned kind of palette, with the colours working very well together and no jarring elements. Maybe that white matte shade was a bit redundant – a very cool light taupe with a soft shimmer would have be better perhaps, but overall, a good effort by CP.
Ah, Brooklyn! It certainly has a place in my bio-mother’s family history as immigrants from Italy and Ireland. And also has a place in my heart because it’s where the Brooklyn Bethel facility of Jehovah’s Witnesses used to be located. Very likely that I will buy it.
I really enjoy these soft cool neutrals and find the quality to price very impressive. I think I may be placing an order.
