With the addition of 24 new shades to the ColourPop Pressed Powder Shadow family, I thought now would be a good time to refresh ideas on possible “quads” of shades featuring currently available eyeshadows (hopefully I caught any that were discontinued!).
Each look idea is centered around a “quad” of four shades with the expectation that one might bring in the appropriate brow bone or additional transitional shade based on skin tone. I know that I tend to use more like five or six shades in a typical look, but I think that four is a happy medium to give a good idea of the “core” color scheme of a look while giving you the ability to lighten/darken as desired. I have listed the colors in this order: inner lid, middle of lid, outer lid/crease, and crease/above crease.
You might see combinations that seem slightly repeated but placement will vary (e.g. a halo placement where the lightest and more shimmery shade is placed on the center) as placement can also create a different effect/look! You might also want to consider incorporating your favorite matte/shimmer shades (as applicable) to increase the versatility of certain palettes. Consider these ideas a jumping off point!
Colour Pop Rendezvous 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette exclusively available at Ulta. It includes a mix of repromotes along with new shades; the repromotes include: My Treat, Want U Back, Two Birds, Never Never, and Let’s Do It. It’s another winning palette from the brand, so if the colors are up your alley and not repeated in your stash already, it’s certainly worth considering. The eyeshadows were pigmented, blendable, and long-wearing on the whole with minor, more nitpicky deficits than major issues.
Here’s a mix of gold & green with a pop of teal featuring ColourPop Holiday Shadows!
