ColourPop Orange You Glad Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Orange You Glad
Colour Pop Orange You Glad 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($12.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, orange-themed monochromatic palette. The palette itself was good overall with the shimmers being more emollient and more loosely pressed, so they tended to have a bit of fallout unless used with fingertips or a flatter, synthetic brush and a pressing motion.
There are six mattes, one glitter, and two shimmers in the palette, though three of the mattes and the glitter shade are “not intended for use in the eye area.” It’s not a palette that I’d say makes sense for anyone who adheres to those warnings. While some feel comfortable using pigment-type products on the eyes or glitter on the eyes, not everyone does, so I’m surprised that to see the repeated inclusion of a glitter shade (in particular) in the 9-pan palettes. If they wanted to be different, they could include a Super Shock Shadow!
Zested
Zested is a medium, peachy yellow with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that applied fairly well to bare skin, but there was a bit of fallout and it sheered out a touch during application. The consistency was a little powdery in the pan but blended out evenly. It lasted well for eight hours on me 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.

Squeeze Me
Squeeze Me is a light-medium orange with warm, golden shimmer throughout that gave it a more metallic finish. The texture was soft, more loosely pressed in the pan, and had a bit of slip to it, which made it apply best with fingertips or a flat, synthetic brush and pressed onto the skin. Otherwise, there was a bit of fallout, and the product didn’t go on as evenly. The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation in one layer. It wore nicely for eight hours on me before it showed signs of fading.

Rise N Grind
Rise N Grind is a brighter, light orange with warm, yellow undertones and a matte finish. It had rich pigmentation in a single layer, which applied well to bare skin and blended out with ease. The texture was a smidgen dusty in the pan, but it was soft and finely-milled to the touch. This shade is “not intended for use in the eye area.” On me, the eyeshadow lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Formula Overview
-
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing." The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they're not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.
The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

Clementine
Clementine includes smaller and larger particle glitter that seemed to have a mix of more iridescent pieces along with peach-to-gold shifting pieces. The paleness of the particles, coupled with how flat they were (which I find does improve adhesion), made this shade more prone to taking on the colors around it, e.g. it looked more peach/orange when applied over a peach-orange eyeshadow. The glitter dispersed decently, but it wasn’t the easiest to spread out in my experience.
It is “not intended for use in the eye area,” though. I tested it on my lower lash line and blended it outward to minimize risk of any getting into my eye. The product stayed on fairly well over an eight-hour period but there were a few stray glitter pieces that had moved elsewhere over time.

Sunkiss'd
Sunkiss’d is a very light, yellowed orange with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich pigmentation that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even lay down of color that blended out well along the edges but didn’t lose its intensity. The texture was smooth but a bit drier and firmer in the pan, though it wasn’t stiff or difficult to work with. This shade is “not intended for use in the eye area.” It wore well for eight hours on me before fading visibly.

Tangerine Dreams
Tangerine Dreams is a light, golden orange with strong, warm undertones and a frosted sheen. The pigmentation was opaque, while the consistency was soft, more loosely pressed, but it had some slip and felt a little creamy to the touch. I had the best luck applying it with a fingertip or a flat, synthetic brush and pressing gently onto my lid to avoid the bit of fallout there was if I just swept it on. This shade lasted well for eight hours on me before I noticed any fading.

Mimosa Mami
Mimosa Mami is a bright, medium-dark orange with warm, red undertones and a matte finish. The texture was firmer, stiffer, and almost thin compared to most of the brand’s powder eyeshadows–it was harder to apply and blend out evenly, though it was workable without too much extra effort. This shade is “not intended for use in the eye area.” It stayed on well for eight and a half hours, and I didn’t notice any staining with the shade.

You already know how I feel about the inclusion of a pressed glitter in this palette, no doubt. Therefore, nope, not buying it. I 💯 agree with you, ColourPop should have put a Super Shock Shadow in that slot instead. I do use some of their glittery, but eye SAFE glitter, SSS’s without issues.
I would have really loved to get this palette but the pressed glitter is such a turn off! Especially because it has such large pieces of glitter in it as well. I fear that it would get into all of the other shades because it’s in the center of the palette. Might still pick the palette up and just put something over the glitter.
Another palette that could have benefited from a bit more diversity in color, but that didn’t stop me from ordering it.
I’m so confused. Why would they make an eyeshadow palette with half the shades “not intended for use in the eye area”?
I hope the inclusion of a glitter shadow isn’t a permanent thing moving forward…
I get that chunky glitters are in right now, but I don’t think it was a good idea to put them in these palettes. Should’ve let people enjoy the monochromatic palettes and put the glitters in a different product
I think it’s better to leave the Pressed Glitters as individual pans – if someone wants to go for it, they can do so! Or put out an all glitter quad or something!
I am not really a fan of these one shade kind of palettes that really just offer the same shade in different finishes (maybe one lighter, one darker). And orange is one of my least favourite shades, so no, not for me. But I do think that Clementine is such a dud on several levels – mainly because it is not eye safe. Colour Pop have been doing this a lot lately and it is very annoying.
Are these pans the same size as makeup geek ones? If I bought this palette I would probably depot them and add them to my makeup geek palette. If they are not the same size, are there any pictures to compare the size?
No, they’re not the same size; they are smaller.
