Chirp
ColourPop Chirp Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark orange-coral with warm undertones and flecks of lighter orange sparkle over a pearl finish. It had rich color payoff in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin with a slight bit of fallout as it had a lot of larger flecks of sparkle.
I didn’t have issues with additional fallout during wear, thankfully. The texture was smooth, lightly emollient but not too slippery, which made it easier to work with. There was visible fading after 10 hours of wear.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.07 oz. – $85.71 Per Ounce
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow is a cream-based formula that comes in a multitude of shades and finishes. The more metallic shades have the most slip to them (they have a “wetter” feel), while the more matte ones have a firmer, more clay-like consistency. Almost every shade I’ve tried from ColourPop has been exceptionally long-wearing (10+ hours of wear, usually there until I remove, even 14 hours later). The pigmentation can vary from shade to shade, but the average shade is quite pigmented.
From feedback I’ve seen from readers, many love them but some don’t like them at all. They aren’t a traditional cream eyeshadow, as they are denser (more sponge-like), and they apply best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes (I like the MAC 242 and 249) for me. The brand recommends using fingers for the most pigmented application, but I’ve only felt that fingers were necessary on a few shades (usually the super glittery ones).
The more matte shades can be on the drier side and vary from medium to opaque in coverage, though they’re often buildable. They can be a little hard to diffuse the edges of, though some are lovely to work with.
The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply. Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter. They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).

Fruit Punch
ColourPop Fruit Punch Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a vivid, chartreuse green with strong, warm golden undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. It had a stronger yellow tone to it than I would have guessed based on how green it appeared in the pot.
The texture was true to the formula: spongy when pressed but powder-like as soon as it came into skin, despite the initial creaminess. It had opaque color coverage that applied evenly and blended out well. It stayed on nicely for 10 hours without fading or creasing.

Heads Up
ColourPop Heads Up Super Shock Pressed Pigments ($5.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark coral-red with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of pink and gold micro-sparkle throughout. The consistency was moderately emollient, which made it a little harder to apply evenly if I fussed with it too much; it worked best applied with a flat, firm brush and then a clean, fluffy brush to diffuse the edges as it was less prone to pulling at the product. It had opaque color coverage that lasted well for 10 hours without fading or creasing.

Ladybug
ColourPop Ladybug Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a light-medium peach with warmer, more orange undertones and flecks of cooler pink and light peachy-gold sparkle over a metallic finish. It had semi-sheer color coverage, so it worked better as a wash of shimmer on the lid or for brightening, but it wasn’t as opaque as the formula is marketed. The texture was more emollient, which helped it apply and diffuse for sheerness, but it couldn’t be built up. This shade wore well for 10 hours without creasing or fading.

Moon Daisy
ColourPop Moon Daisy Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a very pale blue with strong, cool undertones and a metallic sheen. It had medium color coverage, which wasn’t buildable as the texture was moderately emollient, so it was too slippery to really layer up without moving the initial layer around. For all-over wash or to brighten, it worked sufficiently at that sheerness level. It stayed on well for 10 hours before starting to fade a bit.
