An Emerald Away
ColourPop An Emerald Away Pressed Powder Shadow Quad ($9.00 for 0.21 oz.) is a new, emerald-inspired color story that included two shimmers and two matte shades housed in a clear, plastic compact. All four shades were pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing, and bonus: three of the shades were more unique and harder to find (the lighter matte green especially hard to dupe!).

Facet-nation
Facet-nation is a very light, mintyg reen base with warmer, yellowy-gold shimmer and faint sparkle. The texture was more loosely-pressed, which resulted in light fallout during application with a dry brush, so you may want to apply it with a dampened brush or fingertip. It had opaque color payoff that wore well for eight hours before fading noticeably.

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.

Ring True
Ring True has a warmer, reddish-brown base with green-gold duochrome shimmer that gave it a metallic finish. It was richly pigmented with a smooth, lightly creamy texture that wasn’t too firmly-pressed nor too thick, so it was easy to work with using a dry brush or a fingertip. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading visibly.
