The packaging for these products once again mimic the effortlessly stylish and clean look of ColourPop's website; properly labeled, effortless to use, and protected nicely.
These eyeshadows are deigned to be super pigmented without need for building up, and easy to use when in a hurry and you can't be bothered with makeup brushes. Well... They succeed! These are best applied by tapping over the desired area with the pad of your ring finger/pinky; you'll end up with perfect product distribution. The Super Shock Shadows blend wonderfully with a fluffy brush, and if you want to add a bit of sharpness to your edges I suggest a short angled brush (or use the tape trick).
Every formula is creamy, but have fantastic staying power. As I'm forever repeating in these reviews, I have very oily eyelids that just LOVE soaking up product... These products do not crease or smudge on me, and last all day long when over a primer. When tested without primer, the eyeshadows lasted hours longer than any other I have ever used before; pigment faded slightly due to them sinking into my skin but easy to touch-up.
The Super Shock Shadow range come in several finishes; satin, matte, metallic, ultra-metallic, pearlized, and pressed pigments... The colors I chose to review are a handful of wonderful shades for the upcoming colder months, and are listed in the order they are swatched in the photos below.
Side note: The top photo shows natural lighting (left) and indoor/unnatural lighting (right). The bottom photo shows staying power after two swipes with a Simple makeup removing wipe. The left swatches are with primer, the right are without.
- Boy Band - An ultra metallic, and ultra gorgeous, red-copper in a pearlized finish.
- Supermodel - Soft, golden ivory tone in a pearlized finish that's perfect as a base, brow highlight, or a simple all over shade to brighten your eyes.
- Mixed Tape - A shimmering cool-toned gray in a pearlized finish that looks wonderful blended out.
- Central Perk - Officially my new favorite eyeshadow! The perfect mix of deep maroon and berry in a matte finish.
- Roulette - The ultimate, true matte black. Nothing else needs to be said.
- Party Time - Mixed Tape's mauvey gray cousin, in a matte finish.
I give the ColourPop Cosmetics Super Shock Shadows a 5/5 - I absolutely adore them! They have a wonderful range of colors meant for all skin tones, and are priced far lower than the quality of the product received... I can't wait to get my hands on more shades, and you should too!
