Take Me Home
ColourPop Take Me Home 6-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($12.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a six-pan palette with warm, neutrals–four mattes and two shimmers! They are previously-released shades, though I found Issues to be different enough than my previous version to merit a different name (hence the #2!) and “Bitter Better” was labeled “Better Bitter” in a past palette–they’re similar enough that I think they’re supposed to be the same shade but not 100% the same (see below).

Issues #2
Issues #2 is a bright, light-medium orange with warm undertones and a matte finish. It was moderately powdery in the pan, which led to more semi-opaque pigmentation that did not build up well, though it was very blendable when I wore it in my crease/above my crease as a transition shade. On me, it wore well for seven and a half hours.

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.

Issues #2
LELimited Edition. $4.50.
Side Tracked
Side Tracked is a medium brown with warm, orange undertones and flecks of gold sparkle over a matte finish. It hhad semi-opaque color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The powder was soft and velvety to the touch, but it was on the more powdery side. It stayed on well for eight hours with a touch of fallout from the sparkles (though there weren’t many to begin with, so it wasn’t noticeable unless I went looking for it!).

Salt Water
Salt Water is a medium orange with warm undertones and a frosted sheen. The texture was soft, fairy smooth, and blendable on the lid. It had good color payoff in a single layer that stayed on well for eight hours. It seemed a bit lighter than the single I have of this shade, though.

Popular Demand
Popular Demand is a medium-dark brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented but incredibly powdery, so my recommendation would be to pat a brush into the pan and tap off excess, then gradually build the coverage up to avoid fallout. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me.

Bitter Better
Bitter Better is a light-medium gold with warm undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. It had good pigmentation with a soft, lightly loose texture that tended to apply better with a firm, flat brush or fingertips than a fluffy brush, which kicked up excess product in the pan. This shade lasted for eight hours on me with slight fallout.

Another very warm toned, orangey/red palette on the market…… pretty shades if you don’t already have these and like them.
Lovely eye look Christine.
Thank you, Genevieve!
This was going to be my exact comment, so…ditto!!!
Pretty palette!
It was!
Very pretty warm colors!
Glad you liked it!
I’m strangely glad that I ordered this from Sephora along with another bottle of Ole Henrikson Truth Serum with my coupon! It makes for a no-stress eye look for me, I only need a little MAC Orb on the browbone, really, so still great for on the run or trips, I think. The first time I used it, I actually used Issues #2 on my browbone. Not the worst, but the next day, I relegated it to transition shade status permanently!
Is Colourpop ever going to release a cool toned palette or cooler neutral palette? I’m getting warm-tone shadow fatigue, especially from them. I think they’re just repeating similar shades in every new palette now, and it’s pretty monotonous and boring. I have fair skin so I like cool tones, and this is another miss for me.
There is now a palette called Vacation mode ! It’s very cool-toned but it’s limited edition so I’d run for it if I was you ! 🙂
This palette must be a joke. I cannot believe they release another warm toned palette.
I just got myself an icy blue Color Tattoo. I cannot stand warm toned eyeshadow anymore.
Glad I got a couple of these to round out a couple gifts. The quality will be good for my less beauty-informed/low maintenance friends haha.
