ColourPop Sage the Day Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Sage the Day
ColourPop Sage the Day 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is supposed to be a sage-inspired color story, though I’d just say it’s green-leaning rather than a particularly literal-translation of sage as a hue. It was grounded by warmer browns. The matte shades were pigmented, smooth, and blendable, while the shimmers were mostly opaque in coverage but a couple were a bit more loosely-pressed in feel.

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.

This one literally SURPRISED me by how much I love it! Didn’t think I would, either.
I think this is a lovely muted neutral and green palette – the shades work well together and the ratings are very good.
I think this looks a lot like The Child palette from the Star Wars Mandalorian collection
I think this is really pretty, and I think the shades all go together really well. I love that there is a really deep hazel shade instead of a just a brown or black. I’m going to get it. I think it’ll look fab with my hazel/green eyes.
