ColourPop Lust for Dusk Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Lust for Dusk
ColourPop Lust for Dusk 16-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($24.00 for 0.64 oz.) includes a mix of more faded or dusty neutral hues with six shimmer shades and 10 matte/semi-matte shades. The quality was decent, though some shades required an eyeshadow primer to build up coverage as there was moderate powderiness throughout most of the matte shades.

Sunset Chaser
Sunset Chaser is a very light, golden copper with strong, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The eyeshadow had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which had good adhesion to bare skin and a smooth, lightly emollient texture that was easy to work with. This shade wore nicely 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.

The texture was soft, somewhat powdery but not prone to sheering out and just had to have its excess tapped off prior to application to minimize fallout. It lasted well for eight hours on me before fading visibly.

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.

Miser
Miser is a warmer, more orange base with flecks of blue-to-aqua shifting sparkle. The texture was denser and thicker, which gave it a creamier feel to the touch, but made it harder to pick up with a dry brush and get even application. I’d recommend using a dampened brush or fingertip to apply this shade. The eyeshadow stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Miser
LELimited Edition. $4.50.
That's Neat
That’s Neat is a deep brown with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of gold sparkle over a matte finish. It had opaque color coverage that adhered well to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges, but there was fallout from those random flecks of sparkle. The texture was somewhat powdery but not the point that made it hard to work with. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Twilight is a medium gray with subtle, cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had medium pigmentation, which was somewhat buildable, but even over a primer, it was never opaque.

- BH Cosmetics Foil Eyes 2 #14 (PiP, ) is more shimmery, lighter (90% similar).
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.

Okeee, so I love it for its shimmers and metallics. However, lately I hardly ever feel like putting in the effort to do eye looks, ie; the heat, deep depression, exhaustion, a major rut that I’m having extreme difficulty climbing out of. So, do I even dare to purchase yet another eyeshadow palette before I at least use all the shades in that fabulous 3-pack of palettes I just bought? Seems silly to me!
Have you thought about just doing some one and done looks? Use some of your favorite shimmers with a fingertip and off you go!
Y’know, I probably could actually get away with that with some of the darker shimmers! But these super hooded lids almost always need a matte or two in order to make them appear more receded, otherwise my lids look non-dimensional.
I hear you on that. I buy these eye shadows and then don’t have the energy and motivation to play around with them. My lid space is so small too, which makes shadow application frustrating.
I hope you’ll be feeling better soon. You’re not alone.
I’d like to recommend a YouTuber named Andreea Ali, she is a celebrity makeup artist in Paris with an excellent channel. She has a very similar eye shape, and she does all kinds of looks, including one and dones, you might enjoy her!
I know that, at the very least, Miser is a preexisting shade and it’s available as a single. I have it in the Fortune palette and it’s my favorite shade in the palette, and (assuming the formula is the same) I think it works wonderfully as a one-and-done shimmer shade!
This looks very versatile, I appreciate the mix of muted warm and cool shades. Can’t wait for mine to arrive!
Finally, a balanced palette from CP that is not all practically the SAME shade or the same old tired rust, coppers and warm neutrals. Oh, the palette still has some of those but it also includes some mattes and cooler leaning colors. It reminds me a bit of the Huda nude/dusk palettes (hence the not so subtle similar sounding name) but with some added grays and plums for contrast. Yay! Glad to see it swatched decently too. I may actually pounce on this the next time CP has one of their insane sales where I can get it for 50% off or more but it has to get at least an A minus for me to pay full price…it looks like a great everyday palette though and I love the look you did using the colors, Christine!
The shimmers are, for the most part, beautiful shades and although some of the mattes are so-so, this could be a versatile palette.
I have this palette and in general I do like it. I agree with some of the shades needing a primer underneath. My favorite shadows happen to be the ones that scored lower in the review: Serve Chilled and Twilight. They’re cooler toned and that’s what I prefer to wear.
My only quibble is this palette skews toward warm tones. Is it just me or does ColourPop seem to prefer releasing warm-toned palettes? I still plan to put this one into rotation on a regular basis. I like the muted colors and in general the shimmers stayed in place for me.
