Gone Metal
ColourPop Gone Metal 9-Pan Pressed Powder Palette ($14.00 for 0.32 oz.) is a new, permanent smoky-eye themed color story designed exclusively for Target. The palette contained five matte eyeshadows and four shimmer shades in tones of gray, taupe, and black. The quality was good across the board with mattes that were pigmented and blendable with light powderiness, while the shimmers were easy to use with a dry brush or a fingertip as desired.

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.
