Through My Eyes

ColourPop Through My Eyes 16-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($22.00 for 0.64 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette featuring 16 shades across neutrals, corals, and a few pops of color. I liked the color scheme and felt that it worked well together, while the quality of the eyeshadows was fairly good, though there were a few shades that could have been better (most notably, Mesmer-eyez). As a heads up, the following shades are “not intended for use in the immediate eye area”: Mesmer-eyez, Lomo, Divina, and Missbehave, and I experienced light staining with a few shades in the palette (noted within the respective shade’s review), which washed off with my morning cleanser.

Lucido

Lucido is a bright, light-medium gold with strong, warm yellow undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had rich pigmentation in one layer, and the color went on evenly and blended out nicely along the edges. The texture was soft, a little more loosely-pressed than ideal (easy to pick up too much product) but “melted” on my lid to give a smooth sheen. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably 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.

Wild Soul

Wild Soul is a rich, deep yellow with strong, orange undertones and a matte finish. The color payoff was opaque in a single layer, which adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well as it didn’t sheer out too readily. The eyeshadow had a soft, velvety texture that was easy to work with and didn’t give me trouble with fallout. It lasted beautifully for eight and a half hours on my lid before fading a touch.

Mesmer-eyez

Mesmer-eyez is a medium-dark copper with warm, reddish undertones and a sparkling sheen. It had medium, buildable pigmentation, though it needed to be applied with fingertips or a dampened brush to yield opaque coverage. The consistency was noticeably sparkly, so it didn’t feel as smooth as other shades, and felt emollient by touch. This shade stayed on well for eight hours but had some fallout over time.

$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." The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they're not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.

The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

Sandalwood

Sandalwood is a light-medium, peachy beige with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin and was easy to blend out along the edges without losing its intensity. The texture was soft, velvety, and smooth without being too powdery. It wore well for eight hours on me before it started to fade noticeably.

It had opaque color payoff that applied well to bare skin with a smooth, even application that was easy to blend out. The texture was soft without being too powdery or too dusty in the pan. It lasted well for eight hours on me before there was any noticeable fading.

Canela

Canela is a medium, reddish brown with warm undertones and flecks of small, golden sparkle over a matte finish. It had rich color payoff with a soft, velvety texture that was blendable and easy to work with, though a lot of the sparkles didn’t seem to translate on the lid (but I also didn’t notice much fallout). It wore well for eight hours on me before fading slightly.

Emerald Dream

Emerald Dream is a bright, medium green with subtle, cool undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. The eyeshadow had rich pigmentation that adhered evenly and smoothly to my lid. The consistency was lightly creamy, dense without being too thick or too firmly pressed in the pan, so I was able to pick up the product well with my brush. It did apply best with patting and pressing motions, though, to ensure evenness. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading a bit, and there was a very slight amount of fallout over time.

Divina

Divina is a deep burgundy with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. For this type of shade, the texture was softer and more finely-milled than anticipated but was still a little drier overall. It had nearly opaque color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. As I applied the color, it had a tendency to darken slightly and took more effort to diffuse/blend out but wasn’t too challenging. It lasted nicely for eight and a half hours on me, and it stained very faintly (gone after washing my face the next morning).

Nocturne is a medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had rich color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin and sat well on my lid.

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.

Missbehave

Missbehave is a deep red with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with a second layer. The consistency was soft, blendable, and fairly smooth, which made it easier to use on bare skin. It wore well for nine hours on me before fading slightly but stained my lid a little bit until the next morning.

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." The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they're not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.

The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

NOTICE: All products categorized under "Pigment" carry a warning in the US that the product is "not intended for use in the immediate eye area." Brands in the US typically market these products as "Pigments" (instead of "Eyeshadow"), and there is often a warning on the back of packaging or the label. The product includes color additives that are not approved for usage on the eyes per the FDA. Some color additives in "Pigments" have no usage restrictions in the EU, per CosIng, and can be used on the eyes. We recommend checking ingredients to confirm current safety assessment/restrictions: FDA/CosIng.
