ColourPop x Snitchery Final Girl Super Shock Shadow Duo Review & Swatches
Final Girl
ColourPop Final Girl Super Shock Shadow Duo ($12.00 for 0.07 oz.) includes two shimmery cream-to-powder eyeshadows in a cooler lavender and warmer pink. Both shades were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing, so they were consistent with the formula!

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).

Super pretty, but not unique to my hoard of eyeshadow palettes! I do have, and LOVE, SG x Temptalia Dear Reader. And I prefer the moltan metal look of DR over the above.
These are super pretty ! I don’t like Colourpop that much but this collection looks really cool .
It’s a lovely combination and the Plot Twist pink shade is gorgeous, even though I am not a genuine pinky person.
I bought this duo for Plot Twist as it’s described on CP’s site as an icy silvery mauve and their swatch seemed to show the same. What arrived is what Christine shows in her photos and describes, a medium very warm toned pink. The color was so different in person that I initially thought my duo contained the wrong shadow. CP is definitely a purchase in store only brand from now on.
