ColourPop Clay It Cool Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Clay It Cool

ColourPop Clay It Cool 10-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($16.00 for 0.49 oz.) is a new, warm-toned neutral palette that included five matte eyeshadows, four shimmer eyeshadows, and one cream eyeshadow. The quality was consistent with past ColourPop eyeshadows; most shades were pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with and the downsides were light powderiness with most mattes and a touch of dryness with a couple of shimmers.

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.
