blue velvet
ColourPop Blue Velvet 9 pressed powder palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new blue-themed permanent color story developed for Target. It contained six matte shades, two shimmers and one pressed glitter. There were a few shades that had sheer opacity and needed building up, while a shimmer was oddly thick, making it easier to apply with a fingertip. The mats were blendable and easy enough to use, but a primer would be a good choice!
4Always mood
4Always mood is a very light blue with strong, cool (almost violet) undertones and a semi-matte finish.
- Semi-opaque color coverage
- Soft, finely ground, slightly powdery
- Applied evenly and was blendable
- Long-lasting (8 hours before visibly fading)
formula overview
$4.50/0.05oz. – $90.00 per ounce
The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is said to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that’s “long-wearing” and “clings easily to the eyes.” Most shades have a semi-opaque to opaque pigmentation that applies well to bare skin, blends easily, and lasts seven to eight hours.
The matte eyeshadows tend to be a bit powderier in the pan despite being soft and finely ground, while the shimmery ones have a creamier, denser consistency. Occasionally, the glittery or metallic shades are better applied with fingertips or a dampened brush.
