When ColourPop announced their Spring collection of pastel colors, I of course had to order the least-pastel eye shadow in the bunch. Snap Dragon is a gorgeous mid-tone blue-based green in a matte finish. I was wanting to try their relatively new matte formula and this was the perfect excuse!
I really like this color because it’s unlike any of the greens I have in my collection of palettes. It’s a great minty, seafoamy sort of shade with a perfect matte finish. I found that the color applied well with my fingers, with good intensity and smooth application.
I wore Snap Dragon for April’s Open Stage, doing a fun spring-summer look with bright greens and glitter. It held up pretty well although at the end of the night I noticed one of my eyes had a weird sort of splotchy, marbled Easter egg look to it. I hesitate to say that this is a problem with the shadow, though, as it may have been caused by the fact that I had to use some makeup remover to clean up an eyeliner blunder and then applied more shadow over it. There could have been an interaction between the remover and the fresh layer of eye shadow.
Anyway, I was over all pretty happy with the wear of this shadow, so I’d say that if you’re looking for some matte pastel colors, ColourPop is a good choice. Of course I’m still waiting to see how these cream-powder hybrids hold up to my dry Arizona climate!
