ColourPop x Mulan Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches
Mulan
Colour Pop Mulan 15-Pan Shadow Palette ($22.00 for 0.60 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that launches on March 19th at 10AM PT. The matte eyeshadows were pigmented, blendable, and wore between seven and eight hours with a few shades being a little powdery. The shimmers varied a bit more in performance with some having full coverage and being easy to use while others had a bit of fallout during application and/or wear.
There were a few shades in the palette that seemed to contain glitter (to my eye/by feel), though smaller in particle size, so I read through the ingredient list more thoroughly. That being said, only Be Swift had an asterisk and a warning that it was not intended for the eye area.
I’m not sure what makes polybutylene terephthalate, or PBT, which is also a thermoplastic like PET glitter, more/less safe for eyes other than what I’m seeing: smaller particle size and a smaller percentage of the product is made up of that single ingredient. There was also PET glitter listed (further down in the ingredient list) for Like a Girl, Brave, and Legacy. Based on some of the other mainstream brands (MAC, NARS, Urban Decay, to name a few) that have released eyeshadows using PET glitter (and saying they’re to be used on eyes), smaller particle sizes and/or a smaller percentage of PET glitter are often the commonalities.

Imperial
Imperial is a light, taupe-brown with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish. The eyeshadow had rich color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out with ease along the edges. The texture was smooth, almost velvety, and substantial without being too powdery. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

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.

Strike a Match
Strike a Match is a bright, creamy white base with flecks of bluish-aqua micro-glitter over a metallic finish. The texture felt lightly creamy, dense and a little thick, but it had enough binder to keep the glitter from migrating/dropping during application. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that applied best with a fingertip (which yielded more opaque coverage) or a dampened brush. It wore well for eight hours with very minimal fall out.
It contained polybutylene terephthalate, or PBT, which I’m less familiar with but know it was part of the study done by CIR on cosmetic glitter and testing for ocular sensitivity. There were no warnings listed on the palette, so the brand is signifying it is intended for eye usage as far as I can tell. From a visual inspection, the particle size on the smaller end.

Be Swift
Be Swift has a more translucent base packed full of smaller and medium-sized, gold glitter particles. It had good “coverage” from the glitter in a single layer, and it was easy to pack into place for fuller coverage. The texture felt moderately emollient and could be pushed around slightly in the pan, which prevented a lot of fallout. It contained smaller glitter than ColourPop has put in a lot of their Pressed Glitters in the past, though it still contained plastic glitter and was listed as not intended for the eye area. There was migration/fallout of glitter after seven and a half hours (worn on cheeks).

Fighter
Fighter is a medium peach with strong, warm orange undertones and a matte finish. It had opaque color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and didn’t sheer out too readily but had light fallout if I wasn’t careful during application. The texture was moderately powdery, so I’d recommend using a lighter hand with it. The eyeshadow lasted nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Like a Girl
Like a Girl is a light-medium, pink-peach with moderate, warm undertones and a glittering, metallic finish. The texture felt creamier but more loosely-pressed in the pan, so it was easy to pick up too much product and have not enough space for it. I’d recommend using a firmer, flatter brush for application and gently pressed/patting into place to minimize fallout and ensure a smooth lay down of product. It had good color coverage in a single layer that stayed on well for eight hours with light fallout over time.
While it didn’t have any asterisk to indicate it wasn’t intended for the eye area, the ingredient list did include PET glitter for this shade (later on the list than for the typical Pressed Glitter shades). It was also a finer particle size compared to the Pressed Glitters (typically).

Warrior
Warrior is a light-medium, plummy brown with warm undertones and a very subtle, blue-to-green shifting shimmer. The texture was soft, lightly emollient, but a little drier to the touch so there was a bit of fallout when I worked with it. It had opaque coverage that wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably on me.

Honor
Honor is a light-medium brown with muted, warm undertones and a mostly matte finish. It had good color payoff that had to be built up with a second layer for full opacity. The texture was soft, slightly drier than other shades, but it remained blendable and easy enough to use in practice. It lasted well for seven and a half hours before showing signs of fading.

Loyal
Loyal is a medium-dark red with moderate, warm undertones and flecks of red and gold glitter over a smooth, metallic finish. It had rich color payoff in a single layer, which adhered evenly to bare skin with light glitter fallout. The texture felt denser, lightly creamy, but it was thick and emphasized lid lines/texture slightly. I would be careful blending it out with a fluffy brush as this caused more of the glitter to come away from the base color and distribute unevenly or result in fallout. It stayed on well for eight hours with light fallout over time.
It contained polybutylene terephthalate, or PBT, which I’m less familiar with but know it was part of the study done by CIR on cosmetic glitter and testing for ocular sensitivity. There were no warnings listed on the palette, so the brand is signifying it is intended for eye usage as far as I can tell. From a visual inspection, the particle size on the smaller end.

Brave
Brave is a light, peachy brown with strong, warm orange undertones and flecks of gold glitter over a matte finish. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation with light fallout (both a bit of powder as well as some sparkle) paired with a soft, somewhat powdery texture. I’d recommend using a primer with this shade as that would help minimize some of the powderiness. It wore well for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.
While it didn’t have any asterisk to indicate it wasn’t intended for the eye area, the ingredient list did include PET glitter for this shade (later on the list than for the typical Pressed Glitter shades). It was also a finer particle size compared to the Pressed Glitters (typically).

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.

Legacy
Legacy is a dark brown with subtle, warm red undertones and flecks of fine glitter over a matte finish. It had a fairly soft, blendable texture but was prone to a bit of fallout due to the added sparkle that didn’t bind as much with the base color. It had opaque pigmentation in a single layer that wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.
While it didn’t have any asterisk to indicate it wasn’t intended for the eye area, the ingredient list did include PET glitter for this shade (later on the list than for the typical Pressed Glitter shades). It was also a finer particle size compared to the Pressed Glitters (typically).
