ColourPop Uh-Huh Honey Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Uh-Huh Honey
ColourPop Uh-Huh Honey 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($12.00 for 0.36 oz.) is the newest addition to the brand’s monochromatic palettes, and is–you guessed it–all about yellow. The eyeshadows performed well across the board with Stinger being slightly chalky and taking more effort to work with; the rest were pigmented, long-wearing, and blendable. Palooza (Pressed Glitter) is consistent with other shades in the formula, but it wasn’t impervious to fallout.
I actually think they missed some takes on yellow, like a soft, buttery yellow; cooler, highlighter yellow; and a deeper, more olive/yellow-leaning brown (almost between mustard yellow and ochre). For me, Sweet Spot and Oh Beehave are a little too close; I get the subtle differences, but I’d rather one swapped for something more dissimilar.

Stinger
Stinger is a medium yellow with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable over primer but not over bare skin. The texture was soft, lightly powdery, and seemed a touch chalky when I worked with it–the powder didn’t go on as evenly and as seamlessly initially. I was able to get it to sit right on my skin with enough blending. The eyeshadow wore nicely for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

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.

Sunburst
Sunburst is a bright, golden yellow base with blue-green sparkle over a metallic finish. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation in a single stroke, which adhered evenly and smoothly to my skin. The consistency was soft, blendable, and creamy enough to melt on my skin but wasn’t too dense or thick. It stayed on well for eight hours on me before it creased slightly.

Palooza
Palooza has a translucent base with an assortment of hexagon-shaped glitter particles that shifted from copper and yellow to yellow and green. I find it’s the exact same color as Puffin, which I was able to catch the shift to copper a bit better. It was loosely-pressed in the pan, and it was easy to pick up more product than desired as a result, so I’d recommend using a lighter hand. It had good adhesion on its own, and it had light fallout over eight hours but was certainly impressive for a glitter-packed product on its own. The product dispersed fairly evenly, too, without dropping fallout.
This product is not intended for use around the immediate eye area, per the brand; when I wear these types of products on my lid, they can cause irritation for me, so I wore this on my lower lash line, which helped prevent fallout into my eye. Most of the product removes with just water, but I find that, as with more glitter, flecks remain here and there even with very, very vigilant removal!

I’m so excited to see such a good grade for this palette, since I already ordered it! I’ve never used yellow eyeshadow, but this little palette looked so happy I just had to have it.
Christine, I totally agree with what you said about the shades you think it should have had. For me, I would rather have a highlighter shade and an ochre-type shade than Palooza and Oh Beehave. Palooza is the only shade I’ll never use, but the palette is still worth $12.
Oh, and I like the pop of green in the eye look!
I’m not keen on them including pressed glitters in their regular palettes–offering them, sure, but as a standalone product, but if you’re someone who’s uncomfortable using the glitters, it kills a shade!
I like the colors individually but there is no way I could pull off a yellow monochromatic look. It would make a good supplement palatte.
Everything came together a lot nicer than I expected – like it has a very blended, true monochromatic feel to it, though I don’t think it’s as versatile as some of their other monochrome palettes!
My heart skipped a beat!
I LOVE orange and yellow ?
Yay!
I was so excited for a yellow palette from them but I was sadly disappointed when it released. Too many similar shades of yellow- I would have liked to see a greater diversity of the undertones, depth, and brightness of shades throughout the palette. Also, I’m not into the pressed glitters, so it feels like they didn’t care to make another interesting yellow and just plopped the preexisting glitter in the middle. But I’m sure if someone is a huge fan of yellow this palette is definitely a win for them!
I was surprised – definitely felt like a few obvious misses!
What you said about the lack of contrast and depths between most of the shades totally kills it for me. I do have Dominique Lemonade Palette plus various yellows and yellowish shades where I can get greater differentiation between the hues.
Glad you have a good alternative already!
I agree with you about the color selection, and how it could have been better. Still, I like this palette well enough to get it. I think the glitter is beautiful, but I’d really rather CP kept non-eye safe glitters out of these smaller eyeshadow palettes.
It’s a fun one – less versatile, I think, in terms of really getting drastically different looks out of it, but certainly yellow!
I don’t mind pulling in other palettes, so that’s fine with me. It’s always good to find great-quality yellows. You did a great job with your look, and I think the glitter on the lower lid worked well. Good thinking.
This is also my thinking with these monochromatic palettes. I buy them to be used in conjunction with shades from other palettes. If I’m in the mood to add some yellow, I’ll have a whole palette full of yellows to choose from.
I think that Colour Pop missed a ‘golden’ opportunity here to add some deeper gold shades and add more nuance, as you have suggested Christine, to this palette. I feel the same way about this one as to the monochrome blue one. I don’t think the brand should have added the non eye safe glitter number and I think you would certainly have to reach into other palettes to complete your look.
I’m excited to get this one! It’s on its way and I can’t wait. I’m collecting all of their monochromatic palettes and this one is the one Im most excited for.
Yesssssss. So happy about this. It is on its way to me; I’ll just ignore Palooza and supplement with neutrals I already own.
Also, I love eye looks that feature blue and yellow *without* green, and I look forward to trying out new variations on this theme with the help of this little palette. Not sure why, but it’s such a show-stopping combination to me! Maybe the challenge of getting everything blended without having the yellow and blue meld into green? Anyway. I’m excited.
This product seems really nice, I will try it once for sure.
I love the look you did, Christine. It’s gorgeous.
I however could never get much use out of an all yellow palette, don’t get me wrong, I love the warm, happy feeling of yellow, I just can’t wear it not in makeup nor in clothes, dresses or tops, that sits next to my face. I look ill wearing yellow. I do use golds and even yellow-y golds, but the matte shades in this palette would never work. I envy all who can pull of a yellow look!
I just think this is such a different palette and I watched a video on YouTube with a girl who did an eye look and swatched every color on her eyes. The eye look was sooo nice. She did use a Kylie palette for a darker brown shade for the outer corner. I am tempted to buy this, but not sure how well yellows would look on me. I have NEVER used a yellow yet! Thanks for the great review (as always).
Not a fan of glitter, but I must admit that the close-up of Palooza is fascinating.
