Olympic

ColourPop Olympic Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light, slightly rosier beige with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. It had rich color coverage in a single layer that applied evenly to bare skin. The texture was smooth, lightly emollient but not overly slippery, so it was easy to work with. This shade lasted nicely for 10 hours before fading a bit.

Formula Overview

$6.00/0.07 oz. - $85.71 Per Ounce

ColourPop Super Shock Shadow is a cream-based formula that comes in a multitude of shades and finishes. The more metallic shades have the most slip to them (they have a “wetter” feel), while the more matte ones have a firmer, more clay-like consistency. Almost every shade I’ve tried from ColourPop has been exceptionally long-wearing (10+ hours of wear, usually there until I remove, even 14 hours later). The pigmentation can vary from shade to shade, but the average shade is quite pigmented.

From feedback I’ve seen from readers, many love them but some don’t like them at all. They aren’t a traditional cream eyeshadow, as they are denser (more sponge-like), and they apply best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes (I like the MAC 242 and 249) for me. The brand recommends using fingers for the most pigmented application, but I’ve only felt that fingers were necessary on a few shades (usually the super glittery ones).

The more matte shades can be on the drier side and vary from medium to opaque in coverage, though they're often buildable.  They can be a little hard to diffuse the edges of, though some are lovely to work with.

The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply.  Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter.  They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).

Mycelium

ColourPop Mycelium Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium peach with moderate, warm undertones and a sparkling finish with flecks of pink and copper sparkle throughout. It had a more metallic finish, but there was some texture and bunching up when applied to my lid (even with a fingertip) that emphasized my lid texture/lines.

It had mostly opaque color payoff in a single layer, while the product felt lightly emollient in the pot. There was slight fallout after nine hours of wear.

Like a Moss

ColourPop Like a Moss Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light, coppery base with green-to-golf shifting pearl and faint micro-sparkle paired with a metallic finish. The texture was smooth, emollient, and thin without being difficult to apply to bare skin (with a fingertip or a flat, synthetic brush).

It had nearly opaque pigmentation that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer. This shade lasted nicely for 10 hours before fading a bit.

Campfire

ColourPop Campfire Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a richer, more orange-dominant copper with strong, warm undertones and a lightly sparkled, pearly sheen. It had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges without sheering out too readily.

The texture was smooth, lightly emollient, and almost wet to the touch but felt powder-like when it came into contact with my skin. It stayed on well for 10 hours before fading visibly.

Olympic reminds me a bit of our favorite DC’d SSS, Truth! Because of that, I’m getting it!
Possibly, Like A Moss, too.
I thought I was going to love Campfire, but I will probably leave that one alone. Bright orange around my eyes while I’m this severely sleep deprived may not look pretty. I’ve been averaging only around 5-6 hours a night for the past few weeks or so. Not good! It’s probably anxiety over Scunci reaching his end, IDK.

Thank you for your quick reviews on these! The more and more you review the more I realize I want the entire collection. The palette swatched beautifully, I really hope it performs well and does not sell out within the first couple of minutes.

How beautiful are these singles? I find that I go through more of the lighter shades in my various palettes than any other colours, so the first two singles above, especially, are very welcome. And such good quality at a reasonable price, it is always appreciated. Thank you Christine for reviewing these so quickly.

We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
