Smoke ‘n’ Roses

ColourPop Smoke ‘n’ Roses 30-Pan Shadow Palette is the brand’s newest mega-sized palette with an equal amount of shimmers and mattes. The eyeshadows performed consistently with the brand’s past powder eyeshadows; they were pigmented, blendable, and wore around eight hours, but some shades were more powdery than others or required building up or use with a dampened brush/fingertip to get the best application and coverage.

Thorn Apart

Thorn Apart is a pale, yellowy gold with warmer undertones and a frosted finish with larger flecks of shimmer/sparkle. The consistency was somewhat powdery, so it was more prone to fallout but could be pressed into place with a fingertip to minimize it. It had opaque color coverage that lasted well for eight hours before fading was apparent.

Attraction

Attraction is a very light beige with a hint of warmth and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, more velvety and substantial, which yielded opaque pigmentation in a single layer without being overly powdery or prone to sheering out. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Every Rose

Every Rose is a darker peach with moderate, warm undertones and a metallic finish. It had opaque color payoff paired with a soft, lightly powdery texture that applied evenly and wasn’t overly prone to fallout but a dampened brush would eliminate it altogether. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Faithfully

Faithfully is a light pink with a cooler pink base and contrasting, warmer gold shimmer throughout. The texture was moderately powdery and more loosely-pressed, so take care in picking up to avoid fallout. It had mostly opaque, buildable color coverage that lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

1 Luv

1 Luv is a light, yellowy peach with warmer undertones and a metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque, buildable color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease. The texture was smooth to the touch, lightly creamy but not overly dense, which made it easy to pick up with a dry brush. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Like Heaven

Like Heaven is a muted, darker peach with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation paired with a smooth, blendable texture that was lightly powdery but not prone to fallout. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Kickstart

Kickstart is a medium, rosy mauve with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was slightly thinner and firmer in the pan, but it was still blendable and easy enough to work with on bare skin. It had semi-opaque, buildable color payoff that lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

On Call

On Call is a pale, yellowy peach base with flecks of pink and gold sparkle throughout. It had a more loosely-pressed consistency, but there was noticeable glide to it, so as long as I pressed it onto my lid (with a brush or fingertip), it went on better than anticipated with minimal fallout. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Say It’s True

Say It’s True is a very pale mauve with subtle cool undertones and a matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation with a blendable, but moderately powdery, texture. It stayed on well for seven hours before fading noticeably.

Alone is a brighter pop of warm pink with a matte finish. It had mostly opaque, buildable color coverage paired with a soft, smooth consistency that wasn’t too powdery nor too firmly-pressed into the pan. It lasted well for eight hours before fading was apparent.

Best Shot

Best Shot is a darker, rosy brown with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had opaque pigmentation in a single pass, which adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well as the texture was smooth, blendable, and not overly powdery. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Foolin’

Foolin’ is a light, golden taupe with warmer undertones and a bright, metallic finish. It had a smooth, almost cream-like texture, but it wasn’t overly emollient as the product adhered well to bare skin and had full color coverage. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Love Hurts

Love Hurts is a medium, peachy gold with strong, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the consistency was lightly creamy, dense but not thick, and easy to use with a dry brush. It lasted well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Part Time

Romance

Romance is a darker, peachy coral with strong, warm undertones and a metallic finish. The consistency was more loosely-pressed, which resulted in a more powdery formula that had light fallout during application. It had semi-opaque color coverage that was better applied with a dampened brush, as this helped cut back on fallout while improving adhesion and opacity. It stayed on well for seven and a half hours before fading noticeably.

On the Edge

On the Edge is a darker pink with moderate, warm undertones and a frosted finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation but had to be applied with a dampened brush to yield full coverage. The consistency was more loosely-pressed and prone to some fallout during application. It lasted well for seven and a half hours before fading a bit.

Heartbreaker

Heartbreaker is a lighter, rosy plum with strong, warm undertones and a frosted finish. The texture was more loosely-pressed in the pan with a tendency for the larger sparkles to drop during application, despite having a fairly pigmented base. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Twin Flame

Tonite

Tonite is a dark brown with neutral-to-cool undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was thinner and somewhat dry with a moderately powdery feel.
