ColourPop Brunch Date Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Brunch Date
ColourPop Brunch Date 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a more rose-leaning set of neutrals paired with a pop of blue. It wasn’t cool-toned, but it definitely seemed cooler and more muted compared to the majority of neutral palettes that we’ve seen over the last few years. The blue might be eye-catching, but it was a disappointment with respect to quality; and on a subjective note, it was hard to incorporate with the other shades because it ran so cool-toned and was a drier matte formula. I also felt like French Toast and Extra Slice ended up being rather redundant in this palette, too, and that was never more apparent than putting the two next to each other and getting a big, muddied mess.

Champagne Toast
Champagne Toast is a bright beige with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had buildable pigmentation from semi-opaque to opaque coverage (two layers) that applied evenly and blended out easily along the edges. The consistency felt more loosely pressed in the pan but didn’t result in fallout during application. It stayed on well for eight hours on me 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.

Pancakes Please
Pancakes Please is a light, golden bronze with warm undertones and a bright, metallic sheen. The texture was incredibly soft and almost cream-like, but it looked a bit dry when applied to my lid–almost like my lid “ate” the shimmer and gave it a more faded sheen. The pigmentation was opaque and lasted well for eight hours on me before it started to fade visibly.

French Toast is a rich burgundy with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety texture that was blendable without being too powdery nor too firmly pressed in the pan. It wore nicely for eight and a half hours on me before I noticed any fading.

Skinny Latte
Skinny Latte is a light-medium, peachy coral with warm undertones and a sparkling sheen. The texture was more loosely-pressed and felt drier than other shades in the palette, which resulted in slight fallout during application. It had good pigmentation but needed two layers for full opacity. It stayed on nicely for eight hours on me before it started to fade.

Cinnamon Sugar
Cinnamon Sugar is a medium-dark copper with warm, brown undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The consistency was more loosely-pressed, so there was some excess product that came loose when I used it and some fallout during application if I didn’t really press and pat it onto my lid first. The color payoff was opaque in one layer, and it lasted well for eight hours on me.

Sundae Funday
Sundae Funday is a bright plum with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with two to three layers, but it was best applied with a dampened brush or a fingertip. The texture was emollient and felt like it had more silicones in it, giving it slip and creaminess but making it harder to apply evenly and blend out along the edges seamlessly. It lasted well for eight hours on me before it started to fade visibly.

Extra Slice
Extra Slice is a deep, reddish-brown with subtle, cool undertones and flecks of gold sparkle over a matte finish. It ended up looking mostly matte in practice as most of the shimmer seemed to get lost as I blended out the product on my skin. The pigmentation was nearly opaque and buildable, but there was slight fallout due to the texture being so finely-milled and a bit powdery.

As I originally thought and as you have said Christine, the blue shade is really out of sync with the rest of the palette and it is a pretty awful blue at that. A much softer shimmer would have rendered this shade more useful, if it needed to be included at all.
As to the palette, I think it very similar to much of what Colour Pop has created in the past few years and none of the shades are remotely original.
I would like to see Colour Pop get off the warm toned roundabout and create something a little different.
Beautiful eye look Christine.
I really don’t understand the one bright blue. I find it just weird.
I don’t particularly care for this theme but would have liked an wgg yolk yellow, tomato red and spinach or avocado green!
Actually I’m warming to this now, I would also like a grapefruit pink, blueberry and marmalade shades and an oatmeal transition shade. Also, the fact that Zoella had 50 shades of brown and named none of them after a cup of tea makes me question whether she’s even British?
I might actually get your version! This is so quintessentially CP that it is almost spoofing itself. Then, there’s one pan of Kylie. So Seed, it’s a bit scary. You don’t need a label to know who is offering this, and that means CP is overdoing their standard repertoire at churn pace, much like a Tarte did for years.
Not terrible, but still an easy pass. We’ve seen these shades from CP before. And they can do a better blue than the one in this palette.
This is just an ugly palette, in my opinion. Not sure why I don’t like it. That random blue just makes it worse.
This palette is doing absolutely nothing for me. It’s just so generic overall. And “basic” with a few lone shades I’d love to see re-released as singles. Even then, I could likely locate dupes for those right here amongst my existing e/s’s.
I bought this palette because I like it, I know it’s basic and boring but it’s what I generally go for as I work in a professional setting. The blue is a shade I know I will NEVER use and I want to take it out of the palette and swap it with one of my Colourpop singles that I know I will use to make this overall a good day to day palette.
With the exception of the blue, it looks an awful lot like their Give it To Me Straight palette. At least, it’s not different enough for me to be interested in it since I have (and love) GITMS. Most of the shadows do look like Colourpop’s trademark good quality so that’s good to see.
I say to myself, “Why?” Did someone just HAVE to make a palette for a deadline or something? The blue is the only color I like (and not really because it looks great in the palette, but ugly swatched). This will likely be their most forgotten palette ever.
