ColourPop UR A QT Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

UR A QT

Colour Pop UR A QT 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette is a new(ish), limited edition palette exclusively available at Ulta (it’s actually on sale at the moment for $12.60). The palette was easy to work with, even though some shades were less pigmented or more powdery than ideal, and for someone who normally pairs their eyeshadow with a primer, I’d expect most of the minor issues to be resolved.

Colour Pop 2 Hot 4 U Pressed Powder Shadow

2 Hot 4 U

2 Hot 4 U is a brighter peach with moderate, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had a smooth, velvety texture that seemed denser and “thicker” in a sense, which gave it better adhesion and kept it from sheering out too readily, though it was on the more powdery side. It had opaque coverage that stayed on well for seven and a half hours before fading visibly.

Luv Me

Luv Me is a pale pink with strong, warm undertones and golden sparkle over a metallic finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff that adhered evenly to bare skin and blended out well along the edges, though it didn’t build up as well (looked more uneven), so I’d recommend going for one layer. This was a Super Shock Shadow, so the cream-to-powder formula lasted longer on me than other shades in the palette at 10 hours without fading/creasing.

Colour Pop Angel Face Pressed Powder Pigment

Angel Face

Angel Face is a brighter, cotton candy pink with cool, blue undertones and sparkles over a matte finish. It had good color payoff that was buildable to full coverage with less than half of a layer. The texture was soft, lightly powdery but blendable and maintained its intensity on my skin. It wore nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

Colour Pop With Luv Pressed Powder Shadow

With Luv

With Luv is a light-medium pink with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation that was buildable when applied over primer but not so much over bare skin. The texture was slightly firmer in the pan, but it wasn’t difficult to work with overall (just needed a slightly heavier handed approach). There were signs of fading after seven and a half hours of wear.

Colour Pop So Fine Pressed Powder Shadow

So Fine

So Fine is a dusty, light-medium mauve with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent color coverage that applied evenly to bare skin and blended out nicely. The texture was soft, smooth, and a little powdery but wasn’t prone to sheering out or having fallout. It lasted well for eight hours before fading visibly.

Kiss Me

Kiss Me is a light-medium, pink-plum base with warmer undertones and cooler blue-to-lavender shifting pearl. It had semi-opaque, buildable coverage, but the texture was oddly firm and almost stiff to work with; I had to jab at the surface to get product onto my brush. It was easier to apply with a dampened brush, though. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.

Colour Pop Lover Pressed Powder Shadow

Lover

Lover is a brighter, medium reddened plum with warmer undertones and cooler pink and plum pearl that gave it a metallic finish. The texture was smooth, dense without being too thick or firmly pressed into the pan, and it applied evenly to bare skin. It had rich color payoff that lasted well for eight and a half hours before I noticed fading.

Colour Pop Love Note (UR A QT) Pressed Powder Shadow

Love Note (UR A QT)

Love Note (UR A QT) is a faded, medium lavender with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. The consistency was moderately powdery, so it was hard to get opaque coverage without a primer. It had medium, buildable coverage up to semi-opaque on its own with light fallout during application. This shade stayed on nicely for seven hours before fading a bit.

Colour Pop 1st Date Pressed Powder Shadow

1st Date

1st Date is a muted, medium-dark mauve with strong, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had excellent color payoff with a soft, blendable texture that was somewhat powdery in the pan and had a touch of fallout if I wasn’t careful to tap off excess during application. It wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably on me.

Colour Pop Candygram (UR A QT) Pressed Powder Shadow

Candygram (UR A QT)

Candygram (UR A QT) is a medium-dark plum with moderate, warm undertones and a frosted finish. The texture was more loosely-pressed into the pan, so it was somewhat messy to use as there was fallout and it was easy to pick up too much product on the brush so I’d suggest using a lighter hand when working with this shade. It had opaque coverage that lasted nicely for eight hours on me before fading visibly.

Cutie Pie

Cutie Pie is a light-medium pink with cooler undertones and lavender pearl. It had medium, buildable pigmentation with a firmer, thinner texture that was best applied using a dampened brush. This shade showed signs of fading after seven and a half hours of wear.

Colour Pop Heart Eyes Pressed Powder Pigment

Heart Eyes

Heart Eyes is a muted, medium-dark purple with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. The texture was slightly more firmly-pressed into the pan compared to most of the brand’s matte shades, though this resulted in less powderiness. It seemed thinner, too, and more likely to react to natural oils and the like on my skin, which can impede blending but wasn’t the case with this shade as I was able to diffuse it without issue. It stayed on well for eight and a half hours before fading noticeably.
