ColourPop Ctrl + Alt + Glam Eyeshadow Palette Review & Swatches

ColourPop Ctrl Alt Glam 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette
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.

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.
