ColourPop Over the Edge Super Shock Shadow Quad Review, Photos, Swatches
Over the Edge
ColourPop Over the Edge Super Shock Shadow Quad ($18.00 for 0.28 oz.) consists of a sparkling gold, sparkling red-brown, mostly matte orange-brown, and lightly sparkled magenta. All four shades applied well to the lid with semi-opaque to opaque coverage that lasted exceptionally well. The weakest shade was Wild Thoughts, but it just wasn’t near-perfect like the other three.

Come Clean
Come Clean is a bright, medium gold with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The consistency was smooth, sponge-like, and “wet” to the touch. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly on the lid and alsted for 10 hours on me with minimal fallout.

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).

DGAF
DGAF is a medium-dark, red-brown with warm undertones and gold sparkle. It had opaque coverage in a single layer, which applied evenly and smoothly to the lid and never turned patchy as I blended the edges. The eyeshadow wore well for over 10 hours on me with no signs of creasing or fallout.

Wild Thoughts
Wild Thoughts is a medium-dark, magenta purple with warm, pink undertonese and flecks of violet sparkle. It had semi-opaque pigmentation, which was somewhat buildable. The texture was smooth, thin, and blendable, and it applied evenly to the lid, which was my biggest concern due to the opacity level. It wore well for over 10 hours without creasing but did stain my lid slightly.

Wow, these have exceptional pigmentation this time. I haven’t purchased Colourpop in a while because I can’t use up cream eyeshadows fast enough, but I can’t deny these are fun and great quality!
Wow…Wild Thoughts is beautiful!
Strikingly pretty eye look, Christine. 🙂
This quad is certainly vibrant. Can’t remember when I have seen such a bright purple/magenta e/s. I just placed a ColourPop order to get the Supernova glitter e/s as gifts from my daughter to her friends. I don’t know why it always works that way!! I am glad this reviewed well but since I have so many of the other shades I am not sure ordering just for the magenta shade would be worth it. ColourPop may release the magenta as a single though. Will have to check.
I love Wild Thoughts and I am disappointed that it is labeled as “not safe for the immediate eye area” on Colourpop’s website. Does any one who wears contact lenses know if they’ve worn eyeshadow with this warning and not had any adverse effects? Thanks in advance.
Hey Sonia,
My guess is that there’s a pigment/dye used in it that’s not allowed for eye use (but probably fine on lips/cheeks) by FDA (typically okay in Canada/EU). You can check here: https://www.fda.gov/Cosmetics/Labeling/IngredientNames/ucm109084.htm.
That seems so strange to me. I looked at their site and it’s called a “shadow,” so doesn’t that assume it will go on the eyes?
Using the term Shadow vs. Eye Shadow is pretty common for brands to do – same with calling something a Pigment 🙂 ColourPop is not the first – MAC, UD, MUFE, Ardency Inn, and more all do the same.
I never cease to learn new things from Temptalia…thanks!!!! 🙂
Love all 4, have DGAF, and dupes for the gold and rusty orange. But; nothing quite like Wild Thoughts yet! There is one shade in the ND Lila Palette that reminds me enough of it, I think? Cannot recall its name offhand.
Beautiful eye look!
Wild Thoughts comes off completely different than what I would have thought! Very pretty shade!!
DGAF is one of my all time favourites – I’ve paired it with so many different shades and it looks amazing with both greens and purples!
Wow – super bright shades for summer. Glorious shades and great ratings too. Stunning eye look Christine.
I love the look that you created with this quad!!!
Wild Thoughts is going to send me on a Wild ride to Sephora! Lol! So pretty! I ptiblably have Fade In in very similar color though. These super shocks drive me crazy want them all. Loving also the shades in Iluvsarahii palette pressed powder just beautiful!
