Lucky Penny

ColourPop Lucky Penny 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, very warm-toned set of neutrals that included four shimmery eyeshadows and five matte eyeshadows. All nine shades were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing, and it was actually one of the more consistent and better-performing palettes from the brand in the last year. I do think that the color story could have benefited from changing out one of the mid-depth shades (like Hit It Big) for something much deeper than Bullion, because the colors can muddy a bit due to closeness in depth.

Shiny Objects

Shiny Objects is a medium peach with warm, pinker undertones and lighter, peachy gold shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, lightly emollient texture that delivered an even layer of product that wasn’t prone to fallout. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

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.

Pretty subtle for copper. Not highly metallic. Two years ago, would def have gone for this. Now….a bit too much e/s for life. Suspect I can dupe the feel. I’ve been loving using the swatch feature on palettes, after I read the review. I think doing that gives you an appreciation of how everything could come together in looks, etc.

Way, way too orange- for me to touch with a 10-foot pole… 3 of the mattes look nearly identical, as do 2 of the metallics, so this looks like a 1-trick pony, on top.
