Package: (see below for pictures)

A white twist jar that has a sticker on the bottom with the shadow's name and a clear plastic top to see the color. These jars come in a tiny square box that somewhat resembles the MAC Cosmetics' eyeshadow packaging.

Includes: One jar containing the eyeshadow

Application: (Taken from Colourpop Cosmetics Website)

"For maximum coverage: Use fingertip and tap shadow onto eye lid. A flat, fine tip synthetic brush will work fabulously as well and is actually better for a more detailed application close to the lash line. However, your fingertips make for the most intense application. To blend: Use a fluffy brush that has good movement, dip tip of the brush into the shadow and blend with a “wind shield wiper” movement throughout the crease of the eye. This will make your shadow softer and more diffused (like a total pro). When finished, close that sucker up tight! Don’t leave the jar opened for long periods of time, you may lose some of the magic that makes the Super Shock Shadow so amazzzing."

Cons

Cruelty Free Cream to powder finish Blendable  Affordable Buildable Great Pigmentation No smell detected Did not crease throughout the 8 hour workday  Easy Application.  Versatile

Disclaimer: If you don't shut the jar tightly, the shadow will eventually start to dry out.  It is more a metallic finish than a pearlized finish. So if you aren't in for an intense pigmentation and are looking for a softer look, then we can't be friends. Just kidding, Applies better with a finger than a brush. We know that some people get grossed out by that but trust me it will help perfect a smoother look.

Overall Thoughts:

Colourpop Cosmetics originally released KathleenLights back in April 2015 as part of the "Where the Light is" set. It was later released in December 2015 as a single super shock shadow. Youtuber and fellow Miamian, Kathleen Lights described that when she was creating this shadow she wanted something similar to MAC Cosmetics Amber Lights. As soon as we swatched KathleenLights, we definitely knew why this shade was included in the Where the Light is set cause boy oh boy does this baby shine bright. It is a very intensely pigmented metallic golden copper bronze guaranteed to lighten any eye look. This super shock shadow can be used to go from day time to night time in the snap of a finger. KathleenLights is very blendable and buildable that is easy to apply. I do recommend that for a smoother application you use your finger to apply the shadow to set it in and give a more intense look. Although it is described as having a pearlized finish, I feel this shadow is way more metallic which I absolutely love. I definitely recommend snagging this color it is a must have for the spring/summer season. (Although, I will secretly be using this all year round). And let us not forget that for $5.00 you are getting an affordable product that definitely beats out a lot of high-end competitors.  Don't forget to subscribe to Colourpop Cosmetics for a $5.00 off if you are a ordering for the first time.
