ColourPop Lit 8-Pan Pressed Shadow Palette Review & Swatches

Christine — Mon, 12 Nov 2018 20:00:00 +0000

Lit

ColourPop Lit 8-Pan Pressed Shadow Palette ($12.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette with warm-toned shades across mattes and shimmers. Worth noting, the following shades are “not intended for use in the immediate eye area” per the brand: Mercy and Like. Most of the eyeshadows had good pigmentation, were blendable, and easy enough to use, though it wasn’t quite as good as some of the brand’s previous offerings have been.

Or Whatevah

Or Whatevah is a soft, peachy brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The consistency was soft, blendable, and just a touch powdery in the pan. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

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.

Mercy

Mercy is a medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The texture was chunkier and denser with a firmer, slightly cream-like texture, which made it harder to apply evenly with brushes but was workable with a flat, synthetic brush and patting/pressing motions on my lid. There was a bit of fallout when blended out along the edges. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.

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." The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they're not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.

The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

Browse all of our ColourPop Pressed Powder Pigment swatches.

NOTICE: All products categorized under "Pigment" carry a warning in the US that the product is "not intended for use in the immediate eye area." Brands in the US typically market these products as "Pigments" (instead of "Eyeshadow"), and there is often a warning on the back of packaging or the label. The product includes color additives that are not approved for usage on the eyes per the FDA. Some color additives in "Pigments" have no usage restrictions in the EU, per CosIng, and can be used on the eyes. We recommend checking ingredients to confirm current safety assessment/restrictions: FDA/CosIng.

Macchiato

Macchiato is a medium-dark, reddish brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin. The consistency was soft, smooth, and not too thick or too thin, so it blended out easily but did not lose its intensity. It lasted well for eight hours on me before it started to fade.

Bading

Bading is a soft, pinky-coral with warm, golden pearl. It had good pigmentation with a drier, dustier texture that was thinner than most shades by the brand (especially for a shimmer). It seemed to look more faded when applied, almost as if some of the shimmer disappeared. It blended out easily, though, and stayed on well for seven hours on me.
