ColourPop Main Squeeze Eyeshadow Palette Makeup Look Ideas (x9)

ColourPop Main Squeeze 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($12.00 for 0.36 oz.) includes three true shimmers, one satin, and five mattes. I think the quality is there in the palette, but the shades ran together a little more than in past palettes so it was a lot less versatile. If you have lighter shimmers and some matte burgundy/plum shades on hand, I think you could extend this palette quite a bit by adding those to it!
About This Series
Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. I know that I tend to use more like five or six shades in a typical look, but I think that four is a happy medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while giving you the ability to lighten/darken as desired. I have listed the colors in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease.
You might see combinations that seem slightly repeated but placement will vary (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and more shimmery shade is placed on the center) as placement can also create a different effect/look! You might also want to consider incorporating your favorite matte/shimmer shades (as applicable) to increase the versatility of certain palettes. Consider these ideas a jumping off point!

With so many shades so similar to each other, this must have been fairly tricky to come up with so many combinations Christine. You have done really well.
I was thinking the same thing — the real trick would be to make them distinct from each other!
This is a bright and fun palette for a good price. I’ve enjoyed wearing it. Love your eye look . Appreciate the possible color combinations to wear with the Main Squeeze palette!
Thank you!
I really appreciate these posts! So often I’ll take the easiest ‘one and done’ route, which leaves my Colourpop palette obsession a bit overlooked. I’d love to see more.
