ColourPop x Powerpuff Girls Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Powerpuff Girls

ColourPop Powerpuff Girls 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that contained a mix of shimmers, pressed glitters, and matte shades. The mattes out-performed the shimmers, but the shimmers should be workable for those who prefer to use an eyeshadow primer and often use fingertips to apply their shimmer eyeshadows.

Townsville

Townsville has a transparent base with light, champagne gold glitter particles and a few, more iridescent glitter particles. It was a pressed glitter, so it contained plastic (PET) glitter and is not intended for usage around the eye area. It had medium color coverage paired with a moderately emollient base that helped it adhere well to bare skin and have good spreadability as the glitter particles distributed evenly when blended out. It stayed on decently for seven and a half hours before showing migration.

Professor Utonium

Professor Utonium is a very light pink with warmer undertones and a pearly sheen. The texture was more emollient in the pan, but it was thin and more firmly-pressed into the pan, which made it more challenging to pick up product with a dry brush. I’d recommend using a dampened brush over a fingertip as a fingertip further compacted the powder. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that wore nicely for eight hours.

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.

The Mayor

The Mayor is a medium gold with warmer undertones and a metallic finish. The product yielded opaque pigmentation in a single layer, but the consistency was thicker and almost chunky, especially on the lid as it emphasized my lid texture/fine lines. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Frenemy

Frenemy is a light, peachy coral with a warm, pinkish base and a lot of warmer, peachy-gold shimmer. It had opaque pigmentation but the texture was slightly firmer and harder to pick up evenly with a brush. It was better applied with a fingertip to ensure the product translated and adhered evenly to the lid. It lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Superfriends

Superfriends has a transparent base chocked full of smaller particle glitter in lighter blue and iridescent particles. It was a pressed glitter, so it contained plastic (PET) glitter and is not intended for usage around the eye area. The texture was moderately emollient with decent adhesion, which helped the glitter spread evenly on my skin. It had semi-sheer pigmentation that wore decently for seven hours before migrating noticeably.

Silico

Silico is a bright, almost pastel lime green with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was the type of green that blended out to something warner, more chartreuse, but when applied at higher coverage, was a cooler, more lime green. The texture was somewhat powdery with some tendency to sheer out so I’d recommend applying it over an eyeshadow primer. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that wore well for seven and a half hours.
