ColourPop Blowin' Smoke 9‑Pan Eyeshadow Palette — Silver & Smokey Neutrals, Metallic + Matte, Long‑Wearing

ColourPop Blowin' Smoke is a compact 9-pan grayscale eyeshadow palette with three metallics and six mattes designed for high-pigment, long-wearing smokey eye looks.

Built around cool greys, silvers, and deep charcoals, this Blowin' Smoke palette gives you the building blocks to craft everything from soft grey daytime looks to dramatic evening smokey eyes. The formula mixes creamy-feeling metallics with blendable mattes so shades layer easily without turning patchy. Travel-friendly and cruelty-free, it’s tailored for quick application and repeatable results.

How do the finishes perform on different skin types?

The palette pairs three reflective metallics with six matte shades to suit a wide range of skin tones and textures. Metallics deliver smooth sheen and good payoff on bare lids or over a primer, while mattes blend to soften edges and deepen the crease without excessive fall-out. Together they allow controlled build-up for sheer to intense looks.

• Metallics: creamy, reflective payoff that layers well
• Mattes: soft-focus powders for blending and shading
• Layering: builds from light wash to intense depth
• Compatibility: works with or without primer; primer enhances vibrancy

How long does the ColourPop Blowin' Smoke stay put during the day?

The long-wearing formula is made from softer powders that adhere to the lid and resist creasing when applied correctly. While longevity varies with oils and climate, using an eyeshadow primer or base noticeably extends wear and preserves color intensity. The powders are formulated to blend evenly rather than migrate into fine lines.

• Base: primer or cream base improves hold and vibrancy
• Formula: softer powders reduce creasing and streaks
• Application: press metallics for stronger payoff; blend mattes for smooth transitions
• Touch-ups: a light top-up suffices after long wear

What looks can I create with this 9-pan layout?

With greys, silvers, and deep neutrals, the palette is built for classic smokey eyes but also works for modern cool-toned looks. Use lighter greys as transition shades, mid-tones for lid color, and deeper charcoals to deepen outer corners or create liner definition. Metallics add highlight to inner corners, center lid, or brow bone for dimension.

• Everyday cool-toned wash using light mattes
• Soft smokey eye by blending mid-tone to deep matte shades
• Vivid evening look by layering metallics on the center lid
• Defined liner effect with a damp angled brush and darkest matte

How should I apply these shades for best payoff?

Choose brushes intentionally: flat, firmer brushes pack on color, while fluffier brushes are ideal for seamless blending. Press metallic pigments onto the lid for full intensity; diffuse edges with a soft brush. For a crisp liner or lower-lash definition, use a small angled brush with the deepest matte shade.

• Color payoff: use flat brushes to press pigments on
• Blending: soft, circular motions with fluffy brushes
• Lining: small angled brush + deep matte for precision
• Finishing: add a touch of metallic to the center for a lifted look
