The Bold and the Aries

ColourPop The Bold and the Aries Pressed Powder Shadow Quad ($9.00 for 0.21 oz.) includes two shimmer shades (rich coral, pink-peach) and two matte shades (bright orange-coral, deep copper). The quality was solid across all four shades with the lighter shimmer being a touch thicker than the other shades, but they were all pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing.

Seize the Day

Seize the Day is a vivid, deeper pink-coral basee with flecks of lighter gold sparkle over a metallic sheen. The eyeshadow had a smooth, lightly emollient texture that had good adhesion to bare skin with little fallout but full color payoff. It wore well for eight 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.

All I Do is Win

All I Do is Win is a light-medium, pink-peach base with flecks of pink and gold micro-sparkle over a soft, metallic finish. It had mostly opaque color coverage paired with a soft, smooth consistency that was a little on the dusty side. The product picked up decently with a dry brush but was best applied with a dampened brush for a particularly smooth application on the lid. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Fired Up

Fired Up is a bright, medium-dark orange-coral with warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented, while the texture felt smooth, finely-milled, and somewhat velvety, so it adhered well to bare skin and wasn’t prone to sheering out too readily. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

0 to 100

0 to 100 is an ultra-deep, reddish-copper with a matte finish. The texture was incredibly smooth, almost velvety with good density and substance to it, which ensured full color coverage that adhered evenly, blended out well, and wasn’t prone to sheering out. There was some powderiness, which was mostly confined to the pan. It wore well for eight and a half hours before showing signs of fading.
