ColourPop I Owe You Matte Pressed Powder Review

Hello ladies,

One more Colourpop shade coming right up! This is the shade which seems to be doing the rounds lately – from the Kylie Peach Palette to the Too Faced Sweet Peach palette. I bring to you another peach shade – this one is from Colourpop – I Owe You. Let us see how this one performs…

ColourPop I Owe You Matte Pressed Powder Review

Product Details:
I Owe You – A, E, this matte mid- tone orange, and sometimes Y
(What does that even mean??). Highly pigmented shadow that applies evenly and feels ultra-velvety and silky. This long wearing formula contains a unique combination of softer powders which adheres easily to the eyes, gives a soft focus effect, and blends smoothly and evenly. Tips:  Apply with your favorite shadow brushes. Flat and firmer brushes will give the most color payoff. Fluffier brushes are great for blending. Use a small angled brush to line the eyes.
Price:
USD 5

My Experience with ColourPop I Owe You Matte Pressed Powder:

Shade:  As I have mentioned in the intro, the shade is a mid-tone peachy, more orange than pink. It has a matte finish. It reminds me a little of MAC Rule, but I think Rule is a tad bit more orange. This too has warm undertones.

On my medium NC30 skin tone, it shows up easily. Used with a light hand, the shade works well as a transition shade. Else, it can be used for an all-over lid. It looks pretty as a crease shade. In the EOTD that I have shared, I have used this shade in the crease.

Texture: The texture is quite soft, smooth and finely milled. Unlike the other shades that I have reviewed from this line (Criss Cross, Running Late) – this one did not seem to kick up any powder. It was easy to apply and blends smoothly.

Pigmentation: The shade has good pigmentation. It shows up easily onto the skin – at least my NC30 skin tone. I didn’t need to work on building it up.

Staying Power:  I apply my eyeshadows over a primer because my lids are way too oily. The shade gave about 7-7.5 hours of wear time before showing signs of fading. Unlike the shade “Running Late,” this shade did not crease on me.

IMBB Rating:
4.5/5

If you have been wanting to get the in-trend shade – this would be a good choice. It does “feel” easy on the pocket because of the $5 tag. However, two things to consider, for customers in India, it isn’t likely to cost you $5. And for everyone else – even though Colourpop seems to have built a reputation around affordable makeup, $5 isn’t all that cheap. In US, Makeup Geek and MAC eyeshadow pans cost just a dollar more and have way more product than the Colourpop ones do and the best matte shadows in the market are just $6.67 – I am referring to the Viseart eyeshadows. Yes, the initial cost is high because you have to buy a full palette – you do not get refills, but for a similar price point, you get more product and way better quality!!

Having said that, if you do want to try Colourpop pressed shadows – this shade and Criss Cross are easily a good choice.
