Avatar The Last Airbender
ColourPop Avatar The Last Airbender 12-Pan Pressed Powder Shadow Palette ($14.00 for 0.3 oz.) is a new, limited edition 12-pan palette that is divided into four rows (water, earth, fire, and air). The quality was comparable with past palettes from the brand; pigmented, blendable, and longer-wearing with a few shades being a little powdery or prone to fallout but nothing major.

Water Tribe
Water Tribe is a pale lavender with an iridescent sheen. It had sheerer, more buildable coverage that was best applied with a fingertip to avoid fallout and ensure evenness of coverage due to the texture being a bit thin and powdery. It stayed on well 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.

Moon Spirit
Moon Spirit is a darker, cooler lavender base with iridescent, pale blue sparkle and shine. It was actually a more unique shade because it had quite a deep base but was also rather cool-toned. It had opaque pigmentation with a smooth, lightly emollient texture that picked up well with a dry brush. This shade wore well for eight hours on me before fading visibly.

The new Pressed Powder Shadow formula is supposed to be “highly pigmented” with an “ultra-velvety and silky” texture that is “long-wearing.” The way the Pressed Pigments differ is that they’re not intended for usage on the immediate eye area.
The majority of the shades are semi-opaque to opaque in coverage, blend out fairly well, and can sometimes be a bit drier/more powdery compared to typical matte shades. They often wear eight to nine hours on me before fading, but many shades in the Pressed Pigment family leave some staining behind.

product is “not intended for use in the immediate eye area.” Brands in the US typically market these
products as “Pigments” (instead of “Eyeshadow”), and there is often a warning on the back of packaging or
the label. The product includes color additives that are not approved for usage on the eyes per the
FDA.
Some color additives in “Pigments” have no usage restrictions in the EU, per CosIng, and can be used on the
eyes. We recommend checking ingredients to confirm current safety assessment/restrictions:
