Chicago Bulls
ColourPop Chicago Bulls 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, limited edition red-leaning color story that included four shimmery eyeshadows and five more matte eyeshadows. A few of the shimmers were more challenging to work with as they had some fallout, were drier or more powdery, and often performed best with a dampened brush, but the mattes were pretty lovely to work with–pigmented, blendable, and not prone to fallout.
Ingredients
6 Rings
6 Rings is a light pink with muted, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a more substantial, velvety texture that ensured it remained opaque when applied to bare skin while still blending out well. It wore nicely for seven and a half 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.

Back to Back
Back to Back is an iridescent, pinkish-white with a frosted finish. The consistency was more powdery, denser but in larger chunks, so it had to really be pressed and patted onto the lid with a fingertip to get an even layer of product. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that lasted decently for seven hours before showing signs of fading.

Chi-Town
Chi-Town is a muted, medium-dark rosy mauve with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, velvety consistency that had light powderiness but wasn’t prone to sheering out during application. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Game 6
Game 6 is a bright, coral-red with warm undertones and a satin sheen. It had opaque color payoff in a single layer, but the consistency was slightly thinner and a little more emollient than ideal, so I found it harder to diffuse the edges without getting a more ragged edge. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing.” The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they’re not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.
The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

Razzle Dazzle
Razzle Dazzle is a rich, medium-dark red with subtle, warm undertones and a metallic sheen. The texture was soft, more loosely-pressed but moderately emollient, so it picked up readily with a dry brush and had good adhesion when pressed and pulled along the skin. It had opaque color coverage that lasted nicely for eight hours before fading a bit.

773
773 is a darker, taupe-brown with flecks of olive gold sparkle that gave it more of a frosted finish. The consistency was drier and more textured, especially on the lid, and this resulted in moderate fallout during application. It had mostly opaque pigmentation but was prone to sheering out. It wore well for seven hours before fading noticeably.
