Heavy Petal

ColourPop Heavy Petal 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($22.00 for 0.3 oz.) is a new, limited edition warm-toned, neutral palette for spring that included one pressed glitter, five shimmers, and six mattes. The quality was consistent with ColourPop’s formulas: the shimmers were pigmented, blendable, and easy enough to use, while the mattes were pigmented, lightly powdery, and blendable.

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.
