Cutoffs

ColourPop Cutoffs Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a soft, peachy-pink with a cooler, pink iridescent sheen. The color payoff was good, just shy of full coverage, with a soft, smooth, and lightly creamy texture that was a little thinner and had more slip than most shades in the range have had. The eyeshadow started to fade on me after eight 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.

Kill Switch

ColourPop Kill Switch Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a medium brown with warm undertones and flecks of gold sparkle. It had excellent pigmentation with a soft, lightly powdery texture that had good substance, so it stayed nicely pigmented even on bare skin but was still blendable along the edges. It wore well for eight hours on me.

20 Something

ColourPop 20 Something Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a light-medium copper with warm, orange undertones and a glittery, metallic finish. The texture was chunkier and denser with a lot of larger glitter particles. It was the type of product that applied better with fingertips or a dampened brush, as it didn’t go on as evenly or as smoothly with a fluffier brush in my experience. The eyeshadow stayed on well for eight hours but had slight fallout over time.

Night Show

ColourPop Night Show Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a deep gold with warm undertones and a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had a very soft, lightly creamy and lightly pressed consistency, so I actually felt like less was more when it came to application as it was quite pigmented and easy to over-apply due to the texture. It lasted for eight and a half hours before fading on me.

Rascal

ColourPop Rascal Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. The pigmentation was nearly opaque in a single layer, while the texture was softly pressed and very blendable on my lid. It was easy to pickup more product than necessary (which could result in fallout), so I would recommend using a lighter hand or a flat/stiff brush when using this shade. It wore well for eight hours on me.

Deja Boo

ColourPop Deja Boo Pressed Powder Shadow ($5.00 for 0.04 oz.) is a bright, light chartreuse with a very strong, yellow leaning paired with a pearl finish. The color payoff was fantastic with opaque coverage that applied evenly and smoothly on my lid. The texture was soft, blendable, and not at all powdery nor was it too firmly pressed in the pan. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Definitely getting Deja Boo! It immediately caught my eye when I first saw this collection on instagram and I’ve just been waiting for a review. I have nothing like it and definitely wouldn’t be duping anything. Obviously, there is a REASON I have nothing like it but I am trying to be a little more adventurous with bright colors.

A few of these are really nice. After my less than happy relationship (it ended in a makeup “divorce”) with Pleather Python, which I thought I’d love but the colour is somehow a bit different than all the other deep golds I have and really ugly on me – really unexpected – as much as I like the look of Night Show, I’d steer clear of it since I cannot try it/swatch it “in real life”. I’ll stick with Pat McGrath and with Sephora’s Girls’ Night Out.

Loving these colours! Rascals, Night Show, and Deja Bu are absolutely stunning. I am a little hesitant to order from Colourpop again after everything I have ever ordered has arrived with at least a few shadows completely shattered. the only pressed powder I had from Colourpop was Glass Bull which of course shattered. I don’t know what it is about their formula – it’s so much softer and more pliable than other brands it never lasts the journey to my house. And I’m not that far away! I live on the Canadian west coast!
