My Experience with ColourPop Pressed Powder Shadow Facet:

Packaging: This eyeshadow comes  individually packaged in a plastic sleeve. The same is then enclosed in a cardboard cover. There is no ingredient name or product name on the sleeve. The product name is mentioned on the flip side of the eyeshadow itself. Colourpop keeps the sleeves constant for all shadows (instead of personalizing each as per the shadow). This is understandable because it helps to keep the cost down for the brand. And as far as consumer is concerned, it doesn’t make a difference as we will anyways pop them out into a magnetic palette. You will need a magnetic palette to store these – the pans do not have magnet at the bottom.

Shade: “Facet” described by the brand as a matte, deep red brown is deep plum shade with warm undertones and a matte finish. It is one of those shades which will morph depending on what you pair it with. In the FOTD, I have used It with warm gold – so it looks more brown. Paired in a more purple-toned look, the shade looks more plummy. It is an interesting colour to add depth and a good variation to the usual deep browns and blacks.

Texture: The texture is quite soft, smooth, finely milled and not very powdery either. I did not experience any fall out with it – which is great considering how deep the shade is.

Pigmentation: The shade has good pigmentation. You can see the swatches I shared – including the one with a single swipe of the product. The shade applies easily and shows up true to pan in two swipes. The shade gives good pigmentation in one go but not really true to pan. However, a second layer ensures you get a true to pan shade. Personally, I prefer a deep shade to be a bit buildable – like this – than have super opaqueness in one go because one can end up with too much product applied at one go. The kind of pigmentation it has, gives way more control.

Staying Power: I apply my eyeshadows over a primer because my lids are way too oily. The shadow gave about 7.5-8 hours of wear time before showing signs of fading. This shade does not crease on me.
