Most Helpful Positive Review Not Everyone Owns Colourpop I should like to point out that previous reviews are reflective of what sounds like people who follow Colourpop and their releases. Their reviews do not point out the performance which buyers are primarily looking for when it comes to how a product WORKS.
First and foremost, this is a more neutral palette with 1 pressed glitter shade. I do not use pressed glitter so I typically cover it with a heavy duty packing tape to avoid touching it. My favorite color is the shade Fairfax, which is a beautiful pinky, silver duochrome that is slightly sheer but buildable with a glitter glue (I use the NYX Glitter Glue).
You can easily transition this to a simple every day look or add some depth and dimension with the darker options. I am not sure this is suitable for deep complexions as I have very pale skin and just about anything but chalk shows up on me. If that is my one big complaint about this, is that it is not inclusive to all skin tones.
Once again, Colourpop has provided a reliable set of neutral tones for those who look for staples and may not want to purchase a wide variety of palettes. That said, keep in mind you would be losing out on 1 shadow if you do not use pressed glitter.
Most Helpful Critical Review Colors great, price great, application meh This is the first ColourPop palette/eyeshadow I've ever tried, so I had no preconceived notions going in. I simply LOVED the colors and wanted neutrals that make me look like 1990s coffeehouse; this fit the bill. PROS: Colors are awesome and go well together. Stays on after it's applied. Blends decently while applying. Price great. CONS: Flies everywhere while you're applying, so you have to adjust your application technique by using longer, slower brush strokes, which is hard to do if you're in a hurry. Because it flies everywhere when applying, all the glittery shades are pretty hazardous to your eyeballs because they're so prone to fly into your eye while you're applying. Makeup glitter in your eye is bad news, as most of us learn eventually. Because of the "flies everywhere upon application" problem with these shadows, I won't touch the Social Club glitter, not even far away from my eye. It's not worth the risk. Colors are kind of crumbly in the pan, so you can't dab your brush too hard. The ingredients on the website are incomplete, and the ingredients on the actual package are way too small to read, so it's really hard to check for allergies. TL;DR = average to good quality; great colors; great price. I'd buy a ColourPop palette again if it contained all mattes.

Joanne from Medford , New York.
This is an incredibly versatile palette. Every color can be used either alone or blended with another one. Very highly pigmented and smooth application. It's an awesome buy and I'll probably buy it again.
Cooler tones 5
OCan from Phoenix, AZ
I was happy to get this because of the cooler tones and not another warm toned CA palette. Colourpop is my favorite formula and this palette is no different. I don't use much glitter but it's there when I want it and it's gorgeous!
Perfect Neutral Palette 4
Amy F. from Oak Harbor, WA
4.5 overall, amazing array of neutrals, unique yet gorgeous colors from what I already had. Super pigmented and easy to apply. The only reason I didn't give it a 5/5 is the glitter ones gets everywhere! Suggestion to cover your cheeks before applying those, lesson learned for next time. First time using Colourpop and I love it!
Love this pallet!! 5
Courtney95 from Birmingham
I went to ulta to get a mascara. Ended up leaving with the mascara and this pallet. Used it today and absolutely love it!
Gorgeous! 5
Victoria from Florida
I got this palette as a gift to myself for my 1ith birthday. I love a neutral palette, and I love the colourpop packaging! These pigments are amazing and super easy to apply, the glitter are gorgeous! I would recommend especially if you need a small neutral pallet for on-the-go needs. < 3
Love this! 5
Britt from Rhode Island
Beautiful colors! I noticed a lot of cons with applying the shadows with a brush. I honestly used my finger to apply my shadow (not because of the reviews but because I'm lazy) and I had zero issues. It went on great, has lasted all day and I will definitely be buying this again and again because of how pretty my eyes look now.
My new favorite! 5

Love the colors! 5

Have only used the product for a few days but I think it will be a definite favorite for Spring.
Mattes are great 3
Liblady from USA
I have several CP palettes, and mostly wear only mattes. I have very dry eyelids/eye area, but also get creasing so I use an eyelid primer. The mattes are great, pigmented, blend great. However, I decided to branch out and pat one of the shimmers on my lid (the duochrome one) and it looked horrible on my lids. Patchy, clumpy, like I had rubbed shimmer chunkily on my lid. It made them look even more crepe, even with primer. I ended up rubbing the shimmer off, and found most of it all over my cheeks, which is why I stick to mattes. So, lovely mattes, shimmers are a meh if you have dry or older eyelids.
Awful 1
ADoth2000 from Missouri
I've ordered other colour pop products and had no issues. This one has little to no pigment. Then the glittery ones are rough and don't transfer easily.
Got it in the mail, returned it the next day
Surprisingly versatile 5
Elle from USA
So glad I picked this up, it has a surprising amount of versatility. Shimmers pick up fairly well with a brush, don't require wetting. Pigmentation is also great, and wear time seems about typical (okay for 8 hours at least). I do wish colour pop would stop with the pressed glitters.
Worst quality Colourpop palette I've ever owned. 1
Laura from California
Colourpop used to be my favorite eyeshadow brand and I own at least 30 of their palettes, but this one really disappointed me. I'm a fan of neutrals so I thought the colors would be perfect but it's really hard to get a good completed look with this palette. I find myself reaching for other palettes to supplement it because it's missing a light base shade and the shimmers just don't go well with the mattes. Also, there's hardly any pigmentation and a lot of fallout the more I try to build it up. Most of the matte shades seem to be taken from other Colourpop palettes too so there's really nothing unique here.
Another amazing palette from Colourpop! 5
Gwen from Washington DC
This palette is beautiful in person. I am a sucker for a neutral palette. This palette has amazing color payoff and a perfect balance of glitters, shimmers, and matte shadows.
Perfect pallet 5
Miathefloridian from Florida
This pallet is the perfect mix of matte, metallic and glitter. I could really see this being perfect for a weekend getaway to create multiple looks. Pigment stays all day! Super cute packaging too!
Off Melrose is amazing 5
MomfromNY from New York
I buy tons of Colourpop, needless to say Colourpop hits it out of the park again. I'm loving this palette. Side note I lived off of Melrose when I lived in LA so this was a must palette for me. The pigment is phenomenal and the looks you can get with this palette can be day or night. I'm a neutral woman when it comes to eyeshadow so this works great for me. The glitter is beautiful and very easy to use, the shimmers shine and give off a beautiful hue for inner corner. Don't hesitate on this one before it's too late. Highly recommended.
Very pretty palette 4
KelCavBeauty from Tennessee
This is a great cool neutral palette. Nice variety of colors to create a few different looks with. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is there is no matte hilite color and I don't like the pressed glitter color.
Great starter palette! 5
Priscilla from California
As someone who just recently started getting more into eyeshadows, I absolutely love this palette. There are plenty of neutrals in there for a subtle matte look and also more bold, glittery shades when you want to experiment. Fairfax, my favorite, is a really lovely, shimmery duo chrome that can give you a really nice pop of color when going for a smokey look. Highly recommend if you're looking for a nice range of different types of shades!
Glammed up basics 5
Flakyknitter from Lake Tahoe, CA
This is just about a perfect palette. Withy he exception of the awful glitter shadow, they all perform very well & work well together. Perfect for a basic daytime look or glammed up.
She's Cute! 4
J from Raleigh, NC
The FOMO was real, I picked this up a few days ago and I love it! the shade range is definitely nothing new, but the cool neutrals are having their moment and I'm for it! This is what I like to call a work-horse palette. It goes from day to night, no problem, you can get a sunset inspired eye if you wish or go smokey! the size is nice too.
perfect for everyday 5
catsandmakeup from new york
Lasts 8 hours without primer. Very little fallout. Easy to blend.
really similar to soft glam 5
Brandy from earth
this is actually a good palette. colourpop usually is. it is also similar to the abh soft glam. its not an exact dupe but some shades are dupes and it gives the same vibe.
Love It! 5
Wbreeze from Summerville SC
Beautiful! Wore today and really brings out my eyes. CP has a great shadow formula. Not sure why people say negative things the color story if they chose to purchase the color story.
Love!! 5
Glam gram from North
Neutral palette with a grunge twist. I have a lot of palettes and I have picked this up over and over since purchase. Very happy with this purchase. PS the blush in this collection is very good also
I love the color story and quality 5
