ColourPop Oh That Jazz Super Shock Shadow Duo Review & Swatches
Oh That Jazz
ColourPop Oh That Jazz Super Shock Shadow Duo ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) includes cream eyeshadows in light, golden bronze and a sparkling black. I wish ColourPop would utilize the Super Shock Shadow for more “sparkle over matte” kind of formulas, because it works well for them. Both eyeshadows were smooth, emollient, blendable, and long-wearing with full color coverage.

Gin Rickey
Gin Rickey is a light, golden bronze with warmer undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented with full coverage delivered in a single layer, which applied evenly with a brush or a fingertip. The consistency was lightly emollient, smooth, and easy to pick up and transfer without sheering out too readily, though it could be used as a wash of warmth if desired. It lasted well 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).

Golden Age
Golden Age is a rich black base with subtle, warm undertones paired with lighter and darker gold sparkle throughout. It had opaque color coverage in a single pass, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges. The texture was smooth to the touch, emollient but not too fluid, so it wasn’t prone to sheering out. It stayed on nicely for over 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

This duo is nightlife/party PERFECT. Very rich and glam!
Do we know if this duo is coming to Ulta? 👀
Possibly! Usually when they print ingredients on the back of the box, it means it’ll go to Ulta!
But the ingredients are not printed on the back if they are CP exclusively?
That’s what I’ve found to be true in the past! It has been a couple of months since I’ve paid attention, though.
A perfect rating from CP and I wish (as do we all) that all of their eyeshadows were like this. Gin Rickey is just gorgeous.
These look very nice! I would love to see them demonstrated in an eye look.
This little duo is so lovely.
I absolutely don’t need it, but I really, really want it.
Very well done, CP!
wow, these are so beautiful! there is also something so satisfying about a duo/bundle that score a perfect 100%. it gives me hope for future releases!
I know how careful you are, Christine, but I had to double (triple) check, because I was so sure the names must be reversed…
But these are gorgeous. I think they should concentrate on fewer released and more super shock shadows, the thing they do so much better than anyone else (again, IMO).
do you think this is a good substitute for Tom Ford’s black sand? esp if we add a more gold topper on top of the black?
Yes, I think so!
