Formula Overview
$6.00/0.07 oz. - $85.71 Per Ounce
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow is a cream-based formula that comes in a multitude of shades and finishes. The more metallic shades have the most slip to them (they have a “wetter” feel), while the more matte ones have a firmer, more clay-like consistency. Almost every shade I’ve tried from ColourPop has been exceptionally long-wearing (10+ hours of wear, usually there until I remove, even 14 hours later). The pigmentation can vary from shade to shade, but the average shade is quite pigmented.
From feedback I’ve seen from readers, many love them but some don’t like them at all. They aren’t a traditional cream eyeshadow, as they are denser (more sponge-like), and they apply best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes (I like the MAC 242 and 249) for me. The brand recommends using fingers for the most pigmented application, but I’ve only felt that fingers were necessary on a few shades (usually the super glittery ones).
The more matte shades can be on the drier side and vary from medium to opaque in coverage, though they're often buildable. They can be a little hard to diffuse the edges of, though some are lovely to work with.
The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply. Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter. They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).

Oh man, I want 2Nite! This would be such a gorgeous one to apply over the lipstick red shimmer in the CP Star Wars Palette to bump that up!
Health Nut is blinding me through the computer, what a WOW shade for me. Initially when these were posted I figured I had plenty of similar shades for the pinks and berries… but I think this has something special. At this rate I’m going to need to just spring for the vault! Since I use super shocks on a weekly basis and have only ever had two dry out or be unusable I know it would, for me personally, make sense as an investment.
I totally agree about Health Nut; it is way more unique than I thought it would be. I am such a sucker for super shock shadows.
3 SSS and all A+ and Temptalia Rec’d. Pretty impressive. I am not a yellow/orange/coral shade person but these are almost too gorgeous to pass up. I have always loved the SSS formula. Many of my favorites are one and done shades that wear so beautifully. I love Health Nut so likely to pick that one up. May pick up the other two for my daughter. They are her colors for sure.
These are truly excellent vibrant shades, particularly Montecito – love a good gold shade.
Health Nut and 2Nite are absolutely gorgeous! I think I have 2 other super shock shadows that are similar to Montecito but the other two would be very unique to my collection.
