ColourPop The Zodiac Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

The Zodiac

Colour Pop The Zodiac 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.36 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that features an array of shimmers, mattes, neutrals, and pops of color. There were a couple of shades that were misses in the palette, but most were good, so if The Aquarius and The Pisces weren’t the shades you were drooling over, you aren’t as likely to find the palette lacking.

The shimmer formula used for most of the eyeshadows was softer and more loosely-pressed, so they worked best by pressing/patting them on or using fingertips/dampened brushes, which some may do normally and others have no desire to do so. I feel like we’ve been seeing an influx of this type of shimmer texture, but it does seem like shimmer eyeshadows that are capable of application with dry and dampened brushes offer more versatility (as the community has used a dampened brush to intensify pigmentation and finish with shimmery eyeshadows for years!).

The Aries

The Aries is a rich, medium-dark orange with warm, red undertones and a gold shimmer. The pigmentation was opaque in a single layer, while the texture was softly pressed in the pan, which helped it blend easily on my skin but was best applied in pressing and patting motions or used with a dampened brush to avoid fallout. It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

Formula Overview

$5.00/0.04 oz. - $125.00 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.

The Taurus

The Taurus is a soft brown with strong, warm yellow undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent color payoff that applied well to bare skin with smooth, even coverage that blended out easily. The texture was soft without being too powdery. This shade lasted nicely for eight hours before fading slightly.

The Gemini

The Gemini is a muted, light-medium gold with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. It had nearly opaque color coverage in a single layer (and it was full coverage if applied with fingertips or a dampened brush) paired with a soft, slightly looser press that resulted in slight fallout during application. It stayed on well for eight hours on me.

The Cancer

The Cancer is a light, pinky-peach with warm undertones and a metallic sheen. I found that the color could lean pinker or peachier depending on what it was paired with. The texture was soft, smooth, and blendable but slightly more loosely pressed, so it could have fallout if I wasn’t careful to press it onto my lid. It wore well for eight hours on me.

The Leo

The Leo is a light-medium orange with warm, reddish undertones and lots of warm, gold shimmer that resulted in a metallic sheen. The eyeshadow was richly pigmented, while the texture was soft, blendable, and easy to work with on my lid, though it was more loosely pressed and had a bit of fallout unless I used a dampened brush with it. It lasted for just over eight hours on me before I noticed any fading.

The Virgo

The Virgo is a medium-dark taupe-brown with neutral-to-cool undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had opaque pigmentation that applied evenly to bare skin, but this shade caused everything I layered it over/blended it into to turn ashy and grayish, which made it exceptionally difficult to use within the palette. As one of the deeper shades in the palette, I kept trying to incorporate it into my crease area, and it ruined the space as it didn’t define, it lightened and reflected light. I’ve seen this occur with some shades, but it’s usually a shade that has an obvious white or light base (like a beige). The consistency was soft, slightly powdery, but it wasn’t difficult to blend out. It stayed on well for eight hours on me.

The Libra

The Libra is a soft, medium pink with strong, warmundertones and a satin finish. It had good color coverage that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer on top. The texture was finely-milled, velvety, and blendable without being powdery. It lasted well eight hours on me.

The Scorpio is a medium plum with strong, warm undertones and a frosted sheen. The pigmentation was fantastic, while the texture was smooth and lightly creamy without being too softly or too firmly pressed in the pan. It applied well and stayed on nicely for eight hours on me.

The Sagittarius

The Sagittarius is a deep berry with cooler undertones and a mostly matte finish. There was the barest amount of micro-pearl, but it seemed to be there to help the eyeshadow blend rather than altered the finish. The texture was drier and dusty in the pan, and it was harder to apply this shade evenly. I was able to build up coverage to mostly opaque pigmentation, but it was always a little patchy and clung to areas of my eye noticeably (like it was absorbing natural oils, though I noticed it did this even over a silicone-based primer). It wore well for eight hours on me before fading noticeably.

The Capricorn

The Capricorn is a soft black with flecks of gold sparkle over a matte finish. The majority of the sparkles disappeared when applied, whether trapped in my brush or the casualty of fallout. The texture was soft, slightly dry, but it was blendable and easy enough to work with. This shade stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably on me.

The Aquarius

The Aquarius is a brighter, cobalt blue with very faint micro-shimmer over a matte finish. It had sheer coverage, which built up to semi-opaque coverage with three to four layers. The consistency was drier and on the chalky side, which made it prone to fallout and more challenging to apply evenly to bare skin. I tried it over primer, and it was easier to blend out, but it was still a challenge to build it out and blend the edges out overall. It started to fade on me after seven hours of wear.

The Pisces

The Pisces is a light-medium aqua with subtle, cool undertones and a sparkling finish. It had a chunkier consistency and was more loosely pressed, which resulted in more product getting onto my brush. This shade was a challenge to work with using a dry brush; it was functional when I used fingertips or a dampened brush, which helped the chunkier sparkle bind together and adhere to the lid. With firmer, pressing motions, I was able to get good coverage and hold out of it. There was initial fallout but only slight fallout later on if I applied with a dampened brush; with a dry brush, there was moderate fallout throughout wear.
