Fingers is an option, but I think I’m going to try applying some with a wet brush, too. I know my swatch isn’t sexy or anything, but I’m still trying to figure out the best way to use this shadow formula. It’s in a thousand pictures in this post because I swatched it on my arm first, so hopefully it’ll end up giving a somewhat rounded idea of what this enigmatic shadow actually looks like. I’m glad it’s limited edition because this could cause another blue dress/black dress catastrophe. In the above photos, the top one was taken in indirect natural light, and this bottom was taken in direct natural light. Then, it all started to look gray-purple.
COLOR POP SWATCH SKIN
Then, after staring at it for too long, it started to look pewter, both on my skin and in the pan. What I know is that, on my skin, it looked like bronze with lavender and gold micro-glitter. It photographed purple, gold, silver, and brown. Much like the formula, this color is kind of indescribable. This color is so crazy because it looks different in every photo I take of it.

Colourpop actually suggests you apply it with your fingers.Ĭolourpop LE Super Shock Shadow in Birthday Boy It behaves almost like a very, very thick cream with very fine powder in it. It’s very soft, but when you press it, it doesn’t crush. If you haven’t tried one, the texture is… indescribable, but I’m going to try. Colourpop Review: Super Shock ShadowĬolourpop’s eyeshadows are totally bizarre. There’s still time, and they’re still only $6 each.īut let me talk really quickly about this shadow. Or, now that they’ve released them, the Metallic Mattes, but they’re all sold out. In retrospect, I feel like I should have tried one Ultra Satin Liquid Lipstick instead of getting three Ultra Mattes. I ended up getting a brow gel and another liquid lipstick. We all have our weaknesses. The excuse to try more of Colourpop’s massive range of makeup didn’t bore me, either. Obviously, I had to get something else so I can get that shadow that I know nothing about solely because it’s free.
COLOR POP SWATCH FREE
Moments after my order arrived (okay, maybe two days), Colourpop announced their 2nd Anniversary/Birthday Sale – and every single order came with a free Super Shock Shadow in the limited edition color, Birthday Boy. Thanks to Colourpop’s across-the-board affordable prices, I also got suckered into trying out one of their gel eyeliner pencils, too. I wanted to spend less than $20 and with their $5 flat shipping rate (which is fine with me), that left me with two Ultra Matte Liquid Lipsticks and some change. Of course, the three days prior had been spent crawling every single inch of their inventory, making 100% sure that the two liquid lipsticks I was buying were the best ones. People freak out about this brand! Not only is there juicy controversy about whether or not they are responsible for manufacturing other high-end cosmetics under different brand names, but the low price point places it below already budget-friendly beauty brands like Physicians Formula and Nyx, even CoverGirl.Ī few weeks ago, I finally gave in and put in my first order at Colourpop’s website. I swear 90% of the Colourpop reviews that I read are mostly exclamation points.
