Formula Overview
$4.50/0.05 oz. – $90.00 Per Ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing” and “adheres easily to the eyes.” Most of the shades have semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends out without issue, and lasts for seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a little more powdery, though soft and finely-milled, in the pan, while the shimmers have a creamier, dense consistency. Occasionally, the more sparkly or metallic shades apply better with fingertips or a dampened brush.

Minty Dream
ColourPop Minty Dream Pressed Powder Shadow ($4.50 for 0.05 oz.) is a very pale green with warm undertones and a smooth sheen. It was harder to apply due to the overly slippery texture and sheerness, so it might work better as an all-over, sheerer shade.
- Semi-sheer pigmentation, doesn’t build well
- Overly emollient
- Harder to applyl evenly
- Long-wearing (8 hours)
