ColourPop NKLA x Laura Lee Super Shock Shadow Quad Review, Photos, Swatches
NKLA x Laura Lee
ColourPop NKLA x Laura Lee Super Shock Shadow Quad ($18.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a limited edition set of shades where all net profits will be donated to the Best Friends Animal Society, and each shade can also be purchased individually (they’re $5 each). The four coordinated well with each other, and I was happy to see two more matte shades from ColourPop, as I love them as crease colors!

Ritz
Ritz is a light-medium brown with warm undertones and a sparkling, glittery finish. It was described as a “sheer nude,” and it did have semi-sheer color coverage with a moderate helping of glitter. The consistency felt wet to the touch but wasn’t thick or heavy on the lid, so it applied well as a sheer wash of warmth and glitter. It lasted well for 10 hours without creasing but had some fallout over time.

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).

Glitz
Glitz is a muted, medium coral with warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with a touch more layered on top. The consistency was smooth, spongy, and a little clay-like as the texture was dense to the touch but applied in a thin layer that sat well on my lid and blended out easily. It was still going strong after 10 hours of wear.

Shiny
Shiny is a deep, reddish brown with warm, orange undertones and a satin finish. The eyeshadow was opaque in a single layer, while the texture was smooth, velvety, and dense without being heavy or thick on the lid. It applied evenly and blended out with little work along the edges on my lid. It lasted for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Hiney
Hiney is a medium, rosy copper with a sparkling, metallic finish. It had good color payoff in a single layer, though it wasn’t quite opaque and the more emollient quality of the texture made it less practical to build up coverage. The eyeshadow blended out nicely along the edges, though. It wore well for 10 hours with just a bit of fallout over time.

These are four, well co-ordinated popular shades of excellent quality. I think it is wonderful that the net profits are going to be donated to such a worthy charity.
It would be really nice if they offered a cool toned little quad too.
I might buy this for the charity alone!
I’m a regular donor to animal rescue charities so this is a no brainer for me. I’m overdue for a ColourPop order anyway and I like the colors. I wish Sephora carried ColourPop’s full line so I could shop in store.
I like Ritz a lot. Thinking about it…
These are very pretty, not a fan of the influencer but am a fan of the charity. Although the slow time to ship is a big turnoff. Just ordered from cp last sun and shipped today.
What a nice little set and great cause too.
These are lovely colors, but I just can’t get the Super Shock formula to work well for me. If I have to use anything other than a primer, and I can’t apply it with a brush, I can’t be bothered. I don’t like applying anything with my fingers.
Even though I kinda feel like my Naked 3 might cover some of these shades in some capacity, they are really pretty and it’s for a good cause. UG.
