ColourPop Wet 8-Pan Pressed Shadow Palette Review & Swatches

Wet

ColourPop Wet 8-Pan Pressed Shadow Palette ($12.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette with six cooler, bluer-based shades and two warm browns. I found that the mattes were a little more powdery than the average shade by the brand, and a couple of the shimmery shades were denser/firmer, so they apply more readily with fingertips/dampened brushes than regular brushes (and not all of ColourPop’s shimmery shades are like that). For the types of shades, it’s actually not bad, as cooler-toned and blues seem to be a bit harder to develop based on what I’ve experienced on the market over the years by various brands (though the cobalt blue not being better was a surprise).

Finished

Finished is a bright, very light blue with a strong, white base and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation but was prone to sheering out due to the dustier, slightly chalky texture, though it applied better than a lot of pale, pastel shades have for me–and it was harder to dupe as so few brands make these ultra-light blues. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours on me.

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.

I'm Chillen

I’m Chillen is a muted, medium blue with strong, cool undertones and a matte finish. The texture was rather powdery, so it was prone to sheering out and had fallout when applied (even when I was careful). It had semi-sheer color payoff that was hard to build up unless it was patted on top of a tacky base (regular eyeshadow primer wasn’t enough). It wore well for seven hours before I noticed slight fading.

LOL I'm Crying

LOL I’m Crying is a brighter, medium bluish-teal with subtle, cool undertones and a sparkling, frosted finish. The texture was denser, cream-like but thicker and did take a firmer hand to pick up product with a brush. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied fairly evenly to bare skin, but I highly recommend using a pressing and patting motion to get the initial coverage level you desire. This shade lasted well for eight hours on me before creasing faintly.

Skinny Legend

Skinny Legend is a medium-dark beige with subtle, warm rosy undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a denser, more substantial consistency–it was a bit thicker–which helped it adhere more evenly and prevented it from sheering out too readily. It stayed on nicely for seven and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Mood

Mood is a rich, medium-dark blue with cooler undertones and a frosted finish. The color payoff was opaque in a single layer, while the texture was smooth, denser, and lightly creamy, so it still picked up easily with a brush. The eyeshadow adhered well to bare skin and blended out nicely along the edges. It wore well for eight hours before creasing noticeably.

Fishy

Fishy is a blackened teal with cool undertones and a frosted finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation with a denser, slightly firmer consistency that I felt was a smidgen dry. The dryness I noticed more when I tried to diffuse the edges, and it had a more uneven appearance initially so it took extra effort to blend it out. It lasted nicely for eight hours on me before fading a bit.

Thickems

Thickems is a bright, light-medium silver with subtle, cool undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had good color coverage that was buildable to full coverage by patting on a second layer. The consistency was soft, slightly more loosely pressed, but it wasn’t prone to fallout and was easy to blend out. This shade stayed on well for eight hours on me before it started to crease.

Ewa Beach

Ewa Beach is a medium-dark brown with soft, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation that was buildable to opaque coverage with less than half of a layer more. The texture was slightly powdery in the pan, so you’ll want to be careful picking up product to avoid getting too much excess product in the pan (which can result in fallout during application). The eyeshadow blended out well and wore for eight hours on me.
