ColourPop Make It Unstoppable Super Shock Shadow Duo Review & Swatches
Make It Unstoppable
ColourPop Make It Unstoppable Super Shock Shadow Duo ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) includes two sparkling, metallic cream eyeshadows: one in a copper-brown tone and the other in a warmer red. Both shades were very long-wearing, but one shade wasn’t as pigmented as anticipated and could have applied a little more evenly.
100% of net proceeds from the sale of this duo go toward Make It Black’s Small Business Impact Fund.

Main Attraction
Main Attraction is a medium copper with warm, brownish undertones and flecks of pink and gold sparkle over a metallic sheen. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, lightly creamy consistency that felt emollient to the touch but turned to a powder-like finish and formula as soon as it came into contact with my skin. It wore nicely for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.07 oz. - $85.71 Per Ounce
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow is a cream-based formula that comes in a multitude of shades and finishes. The more metallic shades have the most slip to them (they have a “wetter” feel), while the more matte ones have a firmer, more clay-like consistency. Almost every shade I’ve tried from ColourPop has been exceptionally long-wearing (10+ hours of wear, usually there until I remove, even 14 hours later). The pigmentation can vary from shade to shade, but the average shade is quite pigmented.
From feedback I’ve seen from readers, many love them but some don’t like them at all. They aren’t a traditional cream eyeshadow, as they are denser (more sponge-like), and they apply best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes (I like the MAC 242 and 249) for me. The brand recommends using fingers for the most pigmented application, but I’ve only felt that fingers were necessary on a few shades (usually the super glittery ones).
The more matte shades can be on the drier side and vary from medium to opaque in coverage, though they're often buildable. They can be a little hard to diffuse the edges of, though some are lovely to work with.
The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply. Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter. They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).

Millennium
Millennium is a medium red with warm undertones and flecks of fuchsia and gold sparkle. The texture was lightly emollient to the touch, which helped it pick up well on a fingertip or a flat, synthetic brush. It had semi-opaque, buildable color coverage, which resulted in the warmer base coming through more noticeably than when I first reviewed this shade (where it appeared darker and less warm-toned). The product applied fairly evenly to my lid but had to be built up to really look perfectly even. It stayed on well for 10 hours without creasing or having fallout.

Pretty shades! Both would look wonderful with the matching 5-pan palette, too. Might just get this duo.
Main Attraction is beautiful!
I find it amusing and confusing that this company, which seems to release new product every other day, seems to dupe itself an awful lot. Why not just keep some of those previously released items and let them stay around rather than making them LE and then releasing almost identical product a short while down the road? What is it that I’m not understanding about this company’s business model?
I just don’t understand why the brand d/c all its good eyeshadow singles a couple of years ago, because now what they generally offer is definitely average most of the time.
I don’t think anyone rational could understand their business model – it’s so convoluted and conflicting.
Fast fashion mindset. If it’s here today, gone tomorrow, people will jump on it because they HAVE to have it. If it’s always going to be here, why the rush? They can make mindful decisions… which CP and fast fashion companies don’t want you to make. I’m convinced they just keep the same handful of eyeshadow formulas around, tweak something slightly, put a new label on it, and just endlessly rerelease it.
Also, we’re almost name twins. 😀 And skin twins, ayyy.
They are supposed to be the fast fashion of the makeup world. I guess they expect you to toss or stop using the old makeup the way people do with clothes.
Main Attraction shows CP at its best – now why can’t it keep that going is beyoond me.
