MetalMatte

Kat Von D MetalMatte Mini Eyeshadow Palette ($39.00 for 0.60 oz.) is a new, limited edition miniature-sized version of the previously-released, limited edition MetalMatte palette. The mini version includes some shades from the brand’s Metal Crush range that were not in the original MetalMatte palette, but those with larger Kat Von D stashes may find they already own every shade in the palette in some other variation. I felt like a few of the mattes were weaker than the originals I have of them, while others performed the same (which wasn’t outstanding). The shimmery shades performed the best, while the mattes were more powdery and buildable than richly pigmented.

Thunderstruck

Thunderstruck is a light, yellowed white with warm undertones and a pearly sheen. It had good color payoff, just shy of truly full coverage, in one pass. The eyeshadow felt smooth, soft and cream-like without being too dense or too thick in the pan. The eyesahdow applied well to bare skin and blended out nicely. It wore well for eight and a half hours on me before fading noticeably.

Flash

Flash is a medium-dark gold with warm, orange undertones and a metallic finish. It had good color coverage, though it needed a second layer for full coverage, that applied evenly to my lid. The consistency was soft, not too firmly or too loosely pressed in the pan, and it seemed easier to work with for initial application and blending than it did in the original MetalMatte palette. It lasted for eight and a half hours o me.

Bone

Bone is a soft beige with neutral-to-warm undertones and a matte finish. It had good pigmentation with a soft, lightly powdery texture, but it wasn’t too thin so it applied well to bare skin and did not sheer out right away. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Feather

Feather is a light-medium yellow with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque pigmentation with a powdery consistency that I found hard to work with without a primer, as it sheered out too quickly, didn’t build up, and took more effort to blend it out. It wore well for six and a half hours on me.

Suede is a light brown with warm undertones and a matte finish. It had semi-opaque color payoff in a single layer, which wasn’t too buildable without primer underneath. The eyesahdow was lightly powdery, but it did not sheer out too readily on my lid, so it was workable. This shade lasted for seven and a half hours on me.

Oak

Oak is a muted, medium-dark brown with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish. It had medium coverage that was buildable to semi-opaque coverage (or opaque coverage with a primer). The texture was thin, somewhat dusty, and could have been easier to diffuse and blend out in practice. It wore well for seven and a half hours on me. This shade performed worse than the original.

Velvet

Velvet is a deep plum with subtle, warm undertones and a matte finish.
