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).

Angelic may just be the first SSS that I order in probably a year. I can so see it working really well with my Dior Tutu 5 Colour quint!
I can really see you rocking these shades Nancy – they are so ‘you’!
I own both and think they would be a beautiful combo!
Oh my god, So Surreal is one of those rare and stunning periwinkle shades that I am always hunting for but so rarely find! 🤩
What a fabulous bundle of excellent purple hued shades! Outstanding ratings and for a very reasonable price.
Wow, these are stunning!
I bought Angelic and it’s beautiful. It’s a light silvery lilac and I’m really happy it’s not sheer with chunky glitter like I Heart This, which always falls all over my face.
I like all three.
Maybe I’ll have to order these. I’ll have to think about it for a bit.
