ColourPop By the Rose Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

By the Rose

ColourPop By the Rose 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($14.00 for 0.3 oz.) is a new, warmer pink and coral eyeshadow palette that included four true mattes, one sparkly matte, and four shimmers. The eyeshadows were pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing, though I think that the inclusion of both Sunday Soiree and Effervescent was redundant and made the palette less versatile than it could have been.

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.

Picnic Basket

Sweetness

Sweetness is a richer, medium-dark brown with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of gold sparkle over a matte finish. The consistency was somewhat powdery, and it was prone to fallout due to the larger flecks of sparkle that did not bind with the underlying color. It had opaque pigmentation that stayed well for eight hours before fading noticeably.
