Coloured Raine Vivid Pigments & Eyeshadows Reviews & Swatches (Part 1)

Sauce

Coloured Raine Sauce Vivid Pigment ($6.99 for 0.06 oz.) is a deep red with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. The texture was slightly grainy, drier to the touch, but I didn’t have any issues with the actual application (where it matters) as the powder applied evenly and blended out very easily. It wore well for nine hours and stained my skin slightly, though it seemed to wash off the next morning.

Formula Overview

$6.99/0.06 oz. - $116.50 Per Ounce

The formula is supposed to be "highly pigmented, long-lasting and blendable." The majority of the shades were pigmented and long-wearing with some being very blendable and others requiring a little more effort, though they were, generally, workable and easy enough to use, particularly give the more matte finish and intense coverage/brightness. A few shades felt drier to the touch, almost grainy, which isn't uncommon in more red/pink-based shades, but this didn't seem to change the application. Most of the shades were lightly to moderately powdery, so I would recommend applying these prior to doing base makeup due to some fallout during application.

The caveat is that several shades are "not intended for use around the immediate eye area," and these shades are: Crushin', Splash, Sauce, Party Drip, Bossed Up, Cute, Vibez, Level Up, and Purp Smurf (which makes Neo Blue the only one not on the list). Most products labeled "Pigment" but look like eyeshadows include color additives that are not approved for usage on the eye in the US (see FDA's additive list here) but other regions (typically Canada and the EU) do allow these ingredients on the eye area. In this instance, the Vivid Pigments can contain Red 6 Lake, Red 7 Lake, and Red 27 Lake that are shown as a "no" for eye usage per FDA.

Party Drip

Coloured Raine Party Drip Vivid Pigment ($6.99 for 0.06 oz.) is a vivid, medium fuchsia pink with strong, cool, blue undertones and a matte finish. It looked more blue-based when applied than it initially appeared in the pan. It had rich color payoff that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well, though the powder darkened about a shade and a half on my lid, even over primer. The texture was fairly soft, but it was a little on the drier side. This shade lasted for eight and a half hours on me and didn’t seem to stain my skin.

Crushin'

Coloured Raine Crushin’ Vivid Pigment ($6.99 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, medium coral with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent pigmentation with a soft, fairly smooth, but moderately powdery texture. I struggled to get this shade to apply evenly on my skin with full coverage, even when I tried over eyeshadow primer. It was easier and more functional used to diffuse and blend out other shades in my crease rather than as a lid shade. I also noticed it had a tendency to darken a bit on my lid, which seemed to “eat” this shade within seven hours of wear.

Lemon Drop

Coloured Raine Lemon Drop Eyeshadow ($6.99 for 0.06 oz.) is a bright, medium yellow with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had rich pigmentation with a soft, moderately powdery consistency that had a tendency to sheer out and go on a bit unevenly, especially as the powder darkened a bit after a few minutes on my lid. I noticed it still darkened noticeably when I used it over a primer, too. The eyeshadow stayed on well for seven hours on me before it started to look patchy. Like Crushin’, it seemed better to use this in the crease and blended out where opacity wasn’t quite as much of a concern and there were less visible texture/lines (compared to my lid).
