Welcome Foolish Mortals

ColourPop Welcome Foolish Mortals 15-Pan Shadow Palette ($24.00 for 0.53 oz.) is a new, limited edition 15-pan palette that included a mix of more subdued, grayish, and even cooler-toned hues. It contained two glitters, five shimmers, two sparkle-mattes, and six mattes as far as finishes went. The quality was comparable with past ColourPop eyeshadow releases: pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing with matte shades having some powderiness.

Formula Overview

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.
