Dawn
Dawn is a vibrant, coral-red with flecks of pink sparkle strewn throughout. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that applied as a thin layer that felt and acted more powder-like once on my lid. It blended out nicely and stayed on well for 10 hours without fading or creasing, but it stained my lid slightly.

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).

Fawn
Fawn is a medium-dark gold with strong, warm yellow undertones and gold and pink sparkle over a more frosted finish. It had good color coverage, though it wasn’t quite opaque without using fingertips to apply this particular shade. The texture was smooth, lightly creamy, and blendable on my skin without resulting in fallout. It wore well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Rainbow Connection
Rainbow Connection ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a rich, coppery gold with strong, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out easily. The texture felt more emollient than the average Super Shock Shadow, though I felt like it was in line with the more metallic finish. The eyeshadow lasted well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on my eye.

Shy Guy
Shy Guy ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark coral-red with strong, warm undertones paired with orange and pink micro-glitter. It had good color coverage, though it wasn’t quite opaque without layering it. The texture felt smooth and lightly creamy to the touch, and the product applied evenly to my lid when using a flat, synthetic brush. It blended out well along the edges and stayed in place for 10 hours without fading or creasing. There was a smidgen of fallout over time.

Millennium
Millennium ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a rich red with warmer undertones and fine pink sparkle. It had opaque pigmentation that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges. The consistency felt smooth and lightly creamy to the touch, which made it feel wetter than others in the range, but it didn’t slide around too readily. It wore well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.
