ColourPop Lil' Ray of Sunshine Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Lil' Ray of Sunshine
ColourPop Lil’ Ray of Sunshine 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, all-matte eyeshadow palette that revolves around warmer, yellow-leaning neutrals (and plenty of plain ol’ yellow, too!). I only found one shade to be so-so (Sun’s Out), but the other eight were nearly opaque to opaque in coverage, blendable, and long-wearing without any pesky micro-sparkle!

Sun's Out
Sun’s Out is a light, yellowy beige with warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was slightly firmer and more powdery, and it seemed more reactive to any natural oils on my skin compared to the other eight shades in the palette. It had good pigmentation that wore decently for seven and a half hours on me.

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.

It’s really good that all of these shades have performed well and they are certainly vibrant. I think there are probably a few too similar shades in there and it would have made the palette more versatile to have more contrasting shades.
For those who love this shade, I am pleased it rated well.
It’s a pretty concept, but I feel like I can find most of those shades (or similar) on another ColourPop palette (Yes, please!) and that’s a bit disappointing 🙁
I could really see using this with my UD Naked Honey! That could work out so beautifully together, especially for late summer going in to autumn.
I don’t know why but this palette is just drawing me in, I don’t know what they would look like with my coloring but I would love to try them.
I am so close to getting this palette. I don’t know if it would get enough use in my collection, but I really appreciate the yellow tones versus pink/red. I’m so fucking done with pinky-red based shadows and palettes.
I think this is a really pretty palette, and would go so well with others I own.
I have this palette and have used it twice now. I find that the shadows faded pretty quickly, do you have any tips for avoiding this? (I’ve used two different primers, a sticky one and one similar to the paint pots)
Thank you so much for your hard work and all your reviews, you have saved me from buying bad stuff multiple times!❤️
Hey Miriam!
I didn’t have this issue and I don’t usually use primer 🙁
