Ctrl Alt Glam
ColourPop Ctrl Alt Glam 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($18.00 for 0.3 oz.) is a new, limited edition palette that included several pops of pink and berry paired with warmer, more orange-based neutrals. The mattes were very consistent with the brand’s formula (fairly pigmented, blendable, easy enough to work with but had some powderiness), while most of the shimmers were more emollient but thinner/firmer, which made them easier to use with a fingertip.
Hologram
Hologram had a more translucent base packed full of white, pink, and silvery-blue glitter. This shade does contain plastic (PET) glitter.
- Medium coverage
- Very textured with glitter but had a slip to it
- Spread fairly evenly on its own
- Average-wearing (7 hours with fallout)

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.
