ColourPop Cosmetics – You Should See Me In a Crown Bundle | $45.00 (CF)
I stopped in my tracks when I saw the You Should See Me in a Crown ColourPop pressed single eyeshadow bundle. This singles bundle is the perfect embodiment of Fall. In fact, You Should See Me in a Crown is one of my all-time favorite fall palettes.

ColourPop Single Shadows were the gateway for me to try other single shadows. The colors selection and available finishes always fresh. Additionally, ColourPop frequently runs BYOP (Build-Your-Own-Palette) promotions. During these sales, consumers can fill an empty palette with single shadows at a discounted price.

However, ColourPop’s single shadows are not perfect. My biggest complaint with ColourPop is how frequently the brand discontinues shades. Moreover, a nearly identical shade will release with a new name. This makes it so hard to recommend ColourPop pressed single eyeshadows.
Shades owned (not listed in order): 20 Something (Metallic), Antimatter (Metallic), Bassline (Metallic), Beam Me Up (Metallic), BPM (Metallic), Chauffeur (Metallic), Crackle (Metallic), Glass Bull (Metallic), Heavenly (Metallic), Karat Cake(Metallic), Now and Zen (Metallic), On a Whimsy (Metallic), Paradiso (Metallic), Quantum Sleep (Metallic), Rascal (Metallic), Ready or Yacht(Metallic), Rose All Day (Metallic), Snake Eyes (Metallic), Solstice with the Mostest (Metallic), Superzoom (Metallic), Tea Garden (Metallic), Thank U, Next (Metallic), Tiny Tangerines (Metallic), Two Birds (Metallic), Up & Atom (Metallic)
Shades owned but not swatched: Paper Tiger (Matte), Team Captain (Matte), Let’s Do It (Matte)

ColourPop Pressed Single Eyeshadow Collection Ranking
Unlike my ColourPop Palette ranking, I decided not to do an official ColourPop Pressed Single Eyeshadow ranking. However, I do have a few standout favorite shadows in my collection – Glass Bull, Snake Eyes, Tea Garden, and On a Whimsy. Within the ‘You Should See Me In a Crown’ bundle, my favorite shadows are Running Late, Mr. Sandman, Not Ok, and Martian.
As a self-proclaimed colorful eyeshadow addict, are my selections surprising? Although I love wearing bold, colorful eyeshadows, my day-to-day preferences tend to lean much more neutral.

Final Thoughts on my ColourPop Pressed Single Eyeshadow Collection
Single eyeshadows are a wonderful alternative to purchasing pre-made palettes for creative makeup lovers or makeup lovers on a budget. Although the price per shadow may be higher when compared to a pre-made palette, makeup lovers who purchase single shadows save money in the longterm.
By investing in single shadows, buyers are less likely to purchase repeat shades. How many transitional browns and deep black shades do beauty lovers need repeated across palettes?
Building a ColourPop pressed single eyeshadow collection can save beauty lovers a ton. Not only are ColourPop’s shadows affordable, but many of the brand’s most iconic shades are available as singles.
Moreover, investing in a ColourPop pressed single eyeshadows is a more price-conscious strategy than buying every new palette released by the brand. Many shades are repeated throughout ColourPop palettes. By purchasing singles, buyers can avoid purchasing duplicate shadows.
Although there are nuances between various undertones or levels of pigmentation, many individual eyeshadows apply similarly to the eyelids despite looking different in the pan. Also, with a large collection of singles, it is easier to dupe new releases!

Thank you for adding color to my day! It is so refreshing to read something different than coronavirus.
I’m glad this was a temporary escape for you!
I love your CP single shadow collection! I think I own 15-20 of them and I really like them too. In my dream world, I would only be purchasing single shadows instead of pre-made palettes but we know that’s impossible lol!
lmao – I understand. I tried just doing singles but was still purchasing palettes lol! But it can be good for purchasing one-off unique colors!
Ahh this was such a colorful and pretty post, I really loved all the pictures LOL holy heck they are bold!!! I love the single shadow collection, I like that you can buy single eye shadows and it’s in my budget!!! I’d probably like to try Conundrum or I Owe You!
haha yeah these are a really unique mix of colors and some are super bold while others have really transparent base which I like. These are def super affordable and CP often includes these in bundles at discounted rates and they usually have 20-30% off sales, too!
I love autumn colors too, so the “You Should See Me In a Crown’ collection is gorgeous! That’s sad that they discontinue a lot of colors, although I suppose it gives you the opportunity to try new ones.
“You Should See Me In a Crown” is such a beautiful collection and it works so well for Fall. It is a bummer that they discontinue shades so frequently – particularly because similar shades are often released and just renamed.
Those warm shadows are so pretty, perfect for everyday and fall looks!
I totally agree – these are great for every day neutral looks!
I love how Colorpop is not too expensive and their products are pretty good quality too!
Your pictures and presentation are gorgeous, LP! I love your swatches with those bright colors. You have definitely put Color POP on my radar!
ColourPop is such a fun brand and they create such a wide array of products for all different needs or preferences!
