ColourPop Harmony Palette Review & Swatches

Harmony

ColourPop Harmony 5-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($10.00 for 0.15 oz.) is a new, warm-toned neutral color story that included three matte eyeshadows and two shimmer eyeshadows. There was a decent range of depth and finish across the five shades, so it should create a few different looks rather than just one or two. The quality was there; the eyeshadows were pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing, which was consistent with the brand’s past releases.

This palette is one of five in a holiday vault, though ColourPop said they would be available individually when I asked, but they have not appeared individually on the site. It’s not realistic for me to review it as a set (takes much longer, but I also started testing them across sets already, and the system is better setup for a palette, not five palettes within a set, for readability!), so I decided to review them individually still.

Triad

Triad is a light-medium, peachy gold with warmer undertones and a metallic finish. The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed and prone to light fallout if I wasn’t careful to press it on or use a fingertip. It had full color coverage that went on evenly overall and stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

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.

Octave

Octave is a muted, darker orange with warmer undertones and a matte finish. It had a slightly firmer consistency that made it easier to build up, but it wasn’t as pigmented as other shades by the brand (which some may prefer). I didn’t have any issues blending out the eyeshadow, thankfully. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.
