Star Fruity

ColourPop Star Fruity Pressed Powder Shadow Quad ($9.00 for 0.21 oz.) includes two true matte shades, one sparkly-matte, and one shimmer shade. They had semi-opaque to opaque color coverage, were blendable and longer-wearing, though there was a bit of powderiness throughout the mattes and more slip in the shimmer than ideal.

Juice Cleanse

Juice Cleanse is a soft, peachy-brown with warmer, more golden undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had larger gold sparkles throughout a more matte base, so the sparkles resulted in light fallout and very little that translated to the lid. It had opaque color coverage that showed signs of fading after eight hours of wear.

$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.

Bright Slice

Bright Slice is a very light and bright chartreuse with warm, yellowy undertones and slightly darker, greener shimmer throughout. It had a more emollient texture that had moderate glide, so it applied most evenly with a fingertip or a dampened brush as a dry brush seemed more prone to pushing pigment around. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

You're a Star

You’re a Star is a light-medium olive green with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, blendable texture that was lightly powdery in the pan but finely-milled enough not to have visible fallout during application. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Subtropical

Subtropical is a deep, richer brown with subtle, cool undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well. The texture was soft, lightly powdery but not prone to sheering out or having fallout (so long as one tapped off excess prior to application). It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit on me.
