Coloured Raine Botanical Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Coloured Raine Botanical 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.32 oz.) contained three matte eyeshadows and three shimmer eyeshadows. I felt like these were some of the easier-to-use shimmers that Coloured Raine included in their more recent six-pan releases, as they were emollient but not overly so, which ensured they applied evenly to bare skin and didn’t “erase” the drier, thinner matte formula used in the palette. Primavera is rich, light-medium gold with strong, warm undertones and lighter, orange-gold shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. Mostly opaque color payoff Thicker, slightly emollient Picked up decently with a dry brush Best Continue Reading…

Coloured Raine Rose Garden Pressed Pigment Palette Review & Swatches

Coloured Raine Rose Garden 6-Pan Pressed Pigment Palette ($16.00 for 0.32 oz.) signaled the brand’s return to eyeshadow with a six-pan palette that included three shimmer shades and three matte shades. The formulas were decent, though I did not think they worked as well together as the shimmers were noticeably thicker and more emollient compared to the mattes, which were on the thinner and slightly drier side. Bronze Rose is a rich, medium-dark copper with strong, warm golden shimmer and sparkle throughout. Mostly opaque color payoff Thicker, slightly emollient Harder to apply evenly with a dry brush Best applied with Continue Reading…

Coloured Raine Neutral Chic Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Coloured Raine Neutral Chic 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.42 oz.) includes three shimmery, more emollient metallic eyeshadows paired with three matte shades that were on the powdery side and somewhat thin. Independently, they worked decently, but together, the mattes tended to get “erased” slightly when I used the shimmers with them. Table for 2 is a light beige with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic sheen. Mostly opaque color payoff Thicker, slightly emollient Harder to apply evenly with a dry brush Best applied with a fingertip Long-wearing (8 hours) Spoiled is a brighter, medium gold with moderate, warm Continue Reading…

Coloured Raine Sunset Chic Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Coloured Raine Sunset Chic 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.42 oz.) included two shimmer shades, which were more emollient and thicker compared to the four matte shadows included in the palette. The matte formula was more hit or miss and would definitely require primer for anyone interested in it. The two formulas worked better separately than together due to the difference in thicknesses. Twilight is a medium copper with warm, brownish undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. Mostly opaque color payoff Thicker, slightly emollient Harder to apply evenly with a dry brush Best applied with a fingertip Long-wearing (8 hours) Continue Reading…

Coloured Raine Pretty Chic Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Coloured Raine Pretty Chic 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.42 oz.) included two shimmer shades, which were more emollient and thicker compared to the four matte shadows included in the palette. The matte formula was more hit or miss and would definitely require primer for anyone interested in it. Book’d and Busy is a bright, shimmery white with multi-colored micro-sparkle throughout a metallic finish. The base seemed to be a little on the translucent side. Medium opaque color payoff Thicker, slightly emollient Harder to apply evenly with a dry brush Best applied with a fingertip Long-wearing (8 hours) Crush on Continue Reading…

Coloured Raine Butterfly Cream Blush Review & Swatches

Coloured Raine Butterfly Cream Blush ($16.00 for 0.28 oz.) is a brighter, medium-dark purple with cooler undertones and a semi-matte finish. It was richly pigmented where a little went a very, very long way. The texture was overly soft–it felt like it had already melted in the sun, but it felt that way even upon opening after being in 70-degree temperatures overnight. (It’s not even sizzling here, as it IS winter at the time of testing!) I would not recommend using fingertips as they displaced product readily, picked up a ridiculous amount of product when one needed the most minute Continue Reading…

Coloured Raine Wealthy Chic Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

Coloured Raine Wealthy Chic 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette ($16.00 for 0.42 oz.) included two shimmer shades, which were more emollient and thicker compared to the four matte shadows included in the palette. The matte formula was mostly a miss in the palette as the shades were drier, thinner, and powdery, which made it hard to build them out and not all of them blended out well. Expensive is a bright, white gold with subtle, warm undertones and a sparkling, metallic finish. Mostly opaque color payoff Thicker, slightly emollient Harder to apply evenly with a dry brush Best applied with a fingertip Continue Reading…
