ColourPop x Becky G Salvaje Pressed Powder Shadow Palette Review & Swatches
Salvaje
ColourPop Salvaje 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.48 oz.) is a new, limited edition mix of warmer neutrals and pops of blue/teal. What I liked about some of the neutrals in the palette was the inclusion of shades like Malbec and Sangria, which are very red-toned but almost “cool” in tone compared to the typical red/berry shades we see. The quality was good across 11 of the 12 shades; I only had issues with Corona, which was a more loosely-pressed, more glittery shade that worked fine with a dampened brush or fingertip (what I’d consider easily solvable).

Luna
Luna is a soft peach with warmer undertones and a matte finish. The consistency felt denser and thicker, though not heavy, and this resulted in richer, opaque pigmentation despite it being a lighter, softer shade. It stayed on well for eight hours before I noticed slight fading.

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.

Corona
Corona is a medium-dark gold with subtle, warm undertones and a glittery finish. This was one of the weaker shades in the palette, as it was more crumbly and felt loosely-pressed, which resulted in fallout and more difficulty in applying it to bare skin. I had to use it with a dampened brush or fingertip to make it workable. It lasted well for eight hours but had moderate fallout over time.

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.

Nothing from colourpop has caught my eye in a long time, but this?! Thank you for the review!
On their website, the price is $18 not $16
Thanks for letting me know! I added it to the database before it went live and didn’t realize the price was different – it is also larger (0.48 oz.).
This is quite lovely. I do like the reds that you pointed out.
It’s a beautiful palette. I have most of the shades covered multiple times so it’s a pass for me. It does amaze me that Colourpop produces such great palettes when more luxurious brands are just so-so.
Christine, I have a question to submit for discussion. I have to give credit to Lisa J on YT. She posted a video tag about people in the beauty world that she’s thankful for. Maybe we could do something like it, whether it be a person or a tip, etc., here on a Friday Free for Haul. Thanks for considering the idea.
A beautiful autumn toned palette and it’s a shame that the gorgeous gold shade was not better. Stunning eye look Christine. ColourPop nailed that very tricky muted dark teal shade extremely well.
Because I really fell for the eye look you did with this from the time you first showed it, I decided to shop my stash yesterday in order to attempt it. Mine did not turn out quite as nice due to my utter failure to go warmer above the crease, which led to way more teal than I had planned on, lol! And I actually went out like that, too. But next time I know better!
Leading up to whether I should get this or not. I probably don’t need it…although it is such a beauty, I am sorely tempted!
It can be hard to reign it in sometimes, lol! I hope you can try it again, Nancy! 🙂 But at least you were able to dupe it with your own stash!
I am just amazed at how ColourPop continues to hit it out of the park on such a regular basis. I seriously haven’t purchased anything in probably close to a year as they all started to look the same to me but even though this is another warm toned palette, I am liking the shade range here and love the eye look you created, Christine. At $18 you can hardly beat it!!
Me too, Deborah! It’s a lovely little palette!
Thanks for the quick review!
Between this and Dream st, which one do you prefer Christine? 😀
The tones are pretty different – if you like more rusty/orange and and a more muted look overall, Dream St. will be more up your alley. I didn’t have great luck with the palette – it only rated a B from me.
Colourpop needs to use your pictures for their promo for this palette. You look absolutely stunning and that look is one of the best I’ve ever seen, my goodness.
Seriously liking this palette — can’t justify it, won’t get it, but impressed with the color choices.
That look is fire. This palette is so tempting but I don’t need it. Augh.
