Tender Loving Cancer
ColourPop Tender Loving Cancer Pressed Powder Shadow Quad ($9.00 for 0.21 oz.) includes two shimmer shades (lavender, light duochrome) and two matte shades (dusty coral and blackened plum). One of the shimmer shades was sheerer and thinner, while the three remaining shades were a little powdery/drier. Overall, it was decent product but would benefit from an eyeshadow primer and someone who prefers to use their shimmers damp/with a fingertip.

So Devoted
So Devoted is a medium-dark lavender with cooler undertones and warmer, soft gold shimmer and larger flecks of sparkle. It had opaque pigmentation paired with a soft, more loosely-pressed texture, but there was enough binder in the formula that if I pressed and patted it into place, it had good adhesion with minimal fallout. It stayed on nicely for eight hours before fading noticeably.

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.

In My Feels
In My Feels has an almost transparent base chocked full of blue-to-violet shifting pearl. The texture was more emollient and thinner, so it did apply best with a fingertip or a dampened brush for higher coverage. With a dry brush it had more medium, somewhat buildable pigmentation. It wore well for eight hours before fading a bit.
