ColourPop Troublemaker Palette Review & Swatches
Trouble Maker
ColourPop Trouble Maker 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.3 oz.) is a new, limited edition cooler-toned color story that featured a mix of taupe, mauve, and pink. There were six mattes paired with six shimmers. The quality of the shimmers was less impressive as multiple shades were overly emollient and thinner, so they tended to apply a bit unevenly unless applied with fingertips. The mattes were more consistent with the brand’s formula, so a bit on the powdery side but blendable and fairly pigmented.

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.
