ColourPop Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Palette Review & Swatches
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
ColourPop Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer 15-Pan Shadow Palette ($26.00 for 0.53 oz.) is a new, limited edition holiday palette that included eight matte shades and seven shimmers housed in a slim, cardboard palette. The eyeshadows performed consistently with ColourPop’s powder eyeshadow formula, so the majority of the shades were pigmented, blendable, and easy to work with but a few were lightly powdery or had some fallout during application–nothing deal-breaking, though.

North Pole
North Pole is a very light peach with warmer, more orange-leaning undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The consistency was moderately dense with light glide, which helped the sparkles adhere to bare skin with minimal to no fallout. It had opaque pigmentation that wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

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.

Elf Practice
Elf Practice is a very light green with slightly cooler, bluish undertones and warmer, green-gold shifting pearl. It had a more emollient texture that felt thin, so it tended to apply most evenly with a fingertip rather than a dry brush. It had semi-opaque color coverage that was only buildable with a fingertip or dampened brush. It lasted well for seven and a half hours 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.

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." 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.

Actually I think this palette has turned out to be a lovely Christmassy one – the only shade missing is a shimmery green, the matte green doesn’t do it for the palette and the sage green shade is weak.
Lots of good colour combinations to be found here and the palette seems quite cohesive too.
My thoughts exactly. The pale green shimmer should have been brighter and darker. Overall, though, it’s more interesting and pretty than I expected.
If I were still celebrating Christmas, I would have definitely gotten this palette both for childhood nostalgia and the quality of almost all the shades. But, they missed the mark with the pale green shimmer.
I really like how the layout has an eye look for each column. I got this and I normally don’t go for their collab 15-pans.
Good comment. I always appreciate a readable layout. It can be a factor in the keep it beyond the meet and greet. With this, there are infinite possibilities, and a set of pre-coordinated ‘rushed look’ trios.
Yeah, I get overwhelmed by bigger palettes! So it definitely helps!!
