Hi Darlings, today’s post is going to be the review and swatch of the ColourPop x Kathleen Lights Supernova Shadow in the shades Astrology and Constellation.
These were the products I was most excited to receive because I love, like LOVE, cream shadows, on a daily bases I wear them with just mascara and the always make a good look.
As I said in the review of their highlighters (here), this was my first time trying ColourPop and I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you about this super affordable brand.
You can get them here for 7$ each.
ColourPop Kathleen Lights Constellation Supernova Shadow
This is a beautiful light rose gold. It looks bright and it’s natural enough for every day.
PACKAGING
The packaging is a thick and relatively small tube in a hard plastic material. The shade name is written on the bottom. It is really nice and sturdy, I like it.
The cardboard box where it comes in it’s blue with rose gold zodiac details like the rest of the collection.
It has a flat doe foot applicator that I love, it picks up just the right amount of product.
FORMULA & APPLICATION
The formula is very creamy but slightly sticky. The colour is super metallic and glittery but you don’t get any glitter fall down through the day. It’s not patchy at all.
It tends to separate in the tube so you have to mix it with the applicator before putting it on.
The doe foot applicator allows an easy application and the shadow is easy to blend with the finger. You have time to move it around but once it sets, you won’t be able to move it.
LASTING POWER
I always have to wear an eye primer or my make up won’t last a minute. Even with cream shadows but I feel like most people would want to use it without.
- WITHOUT Primer: This shadow lasted for 8 hours on me before starting to crease. I have extremely oily lids so I was pleasantly surprised.
- WITH Primer: This shadow was bulletproof. I had it on for 12 hours and it was still perfect. If something it got even better. It was still super glossy and I had no creasing at all.

This eyeshadow is stunning. I’ve been using it every day I kid you not and I’m so in love with this one. It’s insanely easy to use, super blinding and long-lasting. It’s perfect from day to night. If you are looking for something quick to use daily you’ll love it. For that price, I can’t recommend it enough.
UPDATE:
Sadly this product didn’t work out in the long run, both shades, separated badly after about two months becoming weird, with oil separated from pigment. I tried to mix them back together but it became a clumpy paste. I had to throw them away.

COLOUR
This is a beautiful green gold. It’s very pretty but it doesn’t look good on me because of my cool toned complexion.

FORMULA & APPLICATION
The formula is very creamy but slightly sticky. The colour is super metallic and glittery but you don’t get any glitter fall down through the day.
It’s a bit patchy and you have to be careful to not put too much on.

GRADE: B+
This eyeshadow is really beautiful. I don’t like the shade on me so I gave it to my sister but this is personal preference. It’s insanely easy to use, super blinding and long-lasting. This shade is a bit patchy and needs some help to blend but it’s absolutely fixable. If you are looking for something quick to use daily you’ll love it.

Ahahah I haven’t thought about that but you are kind of right xx
They both look gorgeous, but I love the yellow-y one! Very nice review (:
Thank you! The yellow one would be stunning on you ??
I loved the eye shadow and would love to try it! I love anything that sparkles and the primer sounds very cool! The one i have tends to crease and I hate that!
I hope you’ll end up trying them. They are awesome!
Wow – this is gorgeous. I love the idea of keeping it simple with just a product like this and mascara. Beautiful! And i love the fancy packaging!
Seriously rocking that look today ??
I love these colors! Whenever I see glittery shadow, I do worry about it getting patchy and flaky during the day. This sounds great.
These definitely don’t ?
Astrology is my favourite ?
It’s so pretty and it would look amazing on you! Xx
Thank you ?
