ColourPop Gone Matte Mega Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Gone Matte

ColourPop Gone Matte 30-Pan Shadow Palette ($34.00 for 0.92 oz.) is a new, all-matte eyeshadow palette that has 30 shades. To my eye, they read as more desaturated neutral shades, though that doesn’t mean they’re all ultra-pale. Each column has a more distinctive color going from peach/copper to taupe/gray.

While ColourPop has more than their fair share of releases, I think this is a stellar palette for them to launch. The quality was consistent with their past matte eyeshadows: pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing with light to moderate powderiness but many shades had a more velvety, substantial feel that I find exceptionally forgiving of skin texture (especially dryness and unevenness) that is not a given with most matte eyeshadow formulas. There was a good mix of light, mid-tone, and darker shades, which will make the palette more usable for more skin tones.

Fluff Up

Fluff Up is a brighter, light-medium peach with warm, orange undertones and a matte finish. The texture was soft, lightly powdery in the pan, but the eyeshadow was finely-milled and more velvety, which gave it substance and better adhesion to even drier skin. It had opaque color coverage that lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

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.

Luv Bug

Luv Bug is a very light, bluish-gray with cooler undertones and a matte finish. It had some powderiness–more so than most shades in the palette–so there was light fallout if I wasn’t careful working with it. The pigmentation was opaque but sheered out a bit in practice. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

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.

Comfy

Comfy is a medium taupe-brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish.

It wore well for seven hours before fading a bit.

Velvet Dress is a blackened plum with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was somewhat powdery with a tendency to sheer out, so it had more medium, buildable coverage.
