Aurora Struck

ColourPop Aurora Struck 30-Pan Shadow Palette is the brand’s latest, mega-sized palette inspired by the Northern Lights. It has a wide range of shimmers and mattes, as well as a few glitters (with PET). Overall, the quality was as expected: mattes may be a touch powdered but were typically pigmented and blendable, whereas shimmers were less consistent and some were too emollient at times, requiring a fingertip or a moistened brush to apply.
