Peeps White
ColourPop Peeps White Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, almost silvery, white with cool undertones and flecks of silver, white, and pink sparkle. It had a chunkier, slightly thicker texture that tended to clump up, which made it best applied with a flat, synthetic brush and then built up by patting additional product on with a fingertip. It wore well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Formula Overview
$6.00/0.07 oz. – $85.71 Per Ounce
ColourPop Super Shock Shadow is a cream-based formula that comes in a multitude of shades and finishes. The more metallic shades have the most slip to them (they have a “wetter” feel), while the more matte ones have a firmer, more clay-like consistency. Almost every shade I’ve tried from ColourPop has been exceptionally long-wearing (10+ hours of wear, usually there until I remove, even 14 hours later). The pigmentation can vary from shade to shade, but the average shade is quite pigmented.
From feedback I’ve seen from readers, many love them but some don’t like them at all. They aren’t a traditional cream eyeshadow, as they are denser (more sponge-like), and they apply best with flat, firm, synthetic brushes (I like the MAC 242 and 249) for me. The brand recommends using fingers for the most pigmented application, but I’ve only felt that fingers were necessary on a few shades (usually the super glittery ones).
The more matte shades can be on the drier side and vary from medium to opaque in coverage, though they’re often buildable. They can be a little hard to diffuse the edges of, though some are lovely to work with.
The more glittery shades have been the weakest to me, as they can be sheerer or harder to apply. Sometimes, they are more pigmented and work like the other finishes in the formula, but often, they are sheerer and only function well patted on top of more pigmented eyeshadows to add glitter. They do, however, tend to have little fallout over time with the occasional shade having a more moderate amount of fallout (but still less fallout than most powder eyeshadows with glitter).

Peeps Pink
ColourPop Peeps Pink Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium-dark pink with subtle, warm undertones and flecks of gold and cool lavender sparkle. It had semi-sheer, somewhat buildable pigmentation paired with an overly emollient texture, which likely was part of the reason it did not build up as evenly or as well as other shades I’ve tried in this formula. This shade lasted well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

ColourPop Peeps Green Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, minty green with subtle, warm undertones and slightly cooler, aqua-ish shimmer and micro-sparkle that gave it a shiny, metallic finish.

The product turned powder-like once it came into contact with my lid. This shade lasted well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.

Peeps Blue
ColourPop Peeps Blue Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a bright, almost cyan blue with strong, cool undertones and flecks of pink and lavender micro-sparkle over a metallic finish. The texture was on the thicker side, which made it chunkier to work with and more difficult to spread out with an even layer.
I’d recommend using a flat brush to apply an initial layer and then pat on additional product as needed with a fingertip as this ensured that one didn’t over-apply. It had mostly opaque, buildable pigmentation that stayed on well for 10 hours without fading or creasing.

Peeps Lavender
ColourPop Peeps Lavender Super Shock Shadow ($6.00 for 0.07 oz.) is a medium, pinky-lavender with subtle, warm undertones and cooler flecks of lavender and silver sparkle throughout. The consistency was very smooth and emollient without having too much glide as it quickly turned to a more powder-like feel when it came into contact with my skin. It had semi-opaque, buildable pigmentation that wore well for 10 hours without fading or creasing on me.
