Smoke ‘n’ Roses
ColourPop Smoke ‘n’ Roses 30-Pan Shadow Palette ($34.00 for 0.92 oz.) is the brand’s newest mega-sized palette with an equal amount of shimmers and mattes. The eyeshadows performed consistently with the brand’s past powder eyeshadows; they were pigmented, blendable, and wore around eight hours, but some shades were more powdery than others or required building up or use with a dampened brush/fingertip to get the best application and coverage.
I think the first two rows get a bit redundant, and they could have definitely had some more variety in deeper shimmers and certainly more pink- and gray-based shades given the name of the palette!
Thorn Apart
Thorn Apart is a pale, yellowy gold with warmer undertones and a frosted finish with larger flecks of shimmer/sparkle. The consistency was somewhat powdery, so it was more prone to fallout but could be pressed into place with a fingertip to minimize it. It had opaque color coverage that lasted well for eight hours before fading was apparent.

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.

Attraction
Attraction is a very light beige with a hint of warmth and a matte finish. The texture was smooth, more velvety and substantial, which yielded opaque pigmentation in a single layer without being overly powdery or prone to sheering out. It wore well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Romance
Romance is a darker, peachy coral with strong, warm undertones and a metallic finish.

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.

Heartbreaker
