ColourPop The Legend of Korra Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
The Legend of Korra
ColourPop The Legend of Korra 15-Pan Shadow Palette ($24.00 for 0.53 oz.) includes a mix of blues, greens, coppers, and reds across a mix of cream-to-powders, mattes, and shimmers. The palette performed decently, but there were a few shades that could have been better. If you’re someone who tends to apply their shimmers with fingertips or over a glitter glue, you should have a better experience!

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.

Not particularly awful, nor is it a must-have. I see some very pretty sunset eye looks one could do using it, though. 🌇
When I first saw this palette I thought Nomad Cosmetics had released a new palette.
Another very colourful palette from CP – I think this one is, overall, better than the one from the other day. CP always does a great job on their coppery bronze shades and I do like Spirit the best.
I love how colourful this palette is. FUTURE INDUSTRIES looks very interesting.
Future industries looks just fascinating
I noticed that there were a few liquid liners from this collection and the Mariale one that you didn’t swatch or review. Are they too difficult to wear or remove to be worth photographing?
