Quicksand

ColourPop Quicksand Super Star Loose Pigment ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark, reddish copper with warm undertones and a glittering, metallic finish. There seemed to be a mix of finer pearl and larger sparkle in this particular shade, though the sparkles weren’t as obvious when I used the product with a dampened brush. The dry application yielded semi-opaque coverage, moderate fallout during application, and six-hour wear. The dampened application yielded opaque, smooth pigmentation that didn’t have fallout during application and stayed on well for eight hours.

Formula Overview

The formula is supposed be a wet/dry formula that has less intense shine when applied dry and a more metallic finish when applied wet. They're a finely-milled, loose powder that can be used on eyes, lips, and cheeks. Not wholly surprising, they tended to perform best applied with a dampened brush or over a lightly tacky primer. They can be a little messy to work with if you are not used to loose eyeshadows, but I did not find them any better or worse than the average loose formula. The pigmentation varied a lot from shade to shade, though most shades had more pigmentation when applied with a dampened brush along with greater shine.

Golightly

ColourPop Golightly Super Star Loose Pigment ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium gold with warm, yellow undertones and a metallic sheen. It was another shade that just did not work that well dry; it really is a formula that seems best applied with a dampened brush (and shouldn’t really be marketed for dry use). The texture felt smooth and silky as it was quite finely-milled, but the coverage was hard to get when I worked with it dry, and when I built up the color, there was a fair amount of fallout during application and shorter wear (six hours). If I applied it with a dampened brush, it yielded opaque, even coverage in a single layer and lasted well for eight hours.

Badlands

ColourPop Badlands Super Star Loose Pigment ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a brighter, medium purple with warm undertones and a satin-to-pearl finish. It had more of a satin finish when applied dry, where more of the base color came through, but it intensified to a more pearly sheen when applied with a dampened brush. The texture was silky to the touch but had some fallout when applied to the lid dry, so it was easier to work with it using a dampened brush to get better coverage and less fussy application. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me dry and almost eight and a half hours dampened.

Up Shot

ColourPop Up Shot Super Star Loose Pigment ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium green with subtle, warm undertones and a pearly sheen. Applied dry, it had semi-sheer coverage with more of a satin-to-pearl finish that had some fallout during application and lasted for six hours on my lids. Applied wet, it had rich color payoff with a smoother, easier application that had very little fallout and lasted for eight hours on me.

Baby Roo

ColourPop Baby Roo Super Star Loose Pigment ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium purple with warm undertones and flecks of copper micro-sparkle and smaller frosted shimmer. It had sheer coverage applied dry, but it intensified to mostly opaque coverage when applied with a dampened brush. It wasn’t a shade I’d recommend unless you tend to use your loose eyeshadows with dampened brushes or over tacky bases. The texture was soft and finely-milled, so it blended out well along the edges but had some fallout if I worked with it dry. On its own, it lasted for six hours (dry) and eight hours (dampened).
