Rainbow eyeshadows are not something you see every day, especially when they're metallic. The 11 intense new Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows ($25 each) are striking in colour and pigmentation and surprisingly long-wearing and fallout free.
Thrasher (metallic gold with olive lean), Electric Warrior (metallic citron green), Raw Power (metallic garnet), Black No. 1 (metallic gunmetal)
At a glance, most of the colours are for more dramatic, editorial looks and you are a total badass if you can wear the Hells Bells (rust) or Iggy (emerald green) on an everyday basis. Fittingly enough this is Kat Von D's makeup line, so I would expect nothing less than a bold, unique shade range. Her favourites are Raw Power, Thrasher, and Black No. 1. Colours like Trasher (metallic gold), Synergy (metallic bronze, and Thunderstruck (metallic pearl) are more my speed for an everyday look. For some reason all of the colours just say Chelle (of Make Up Your Mind) to me.
The Kat Von D Metal Crush Eyeshadows contain 85% pigment through a formulation using a "Color-Soaked Concentrate" in which pigment powders are tumbled until they are smooth and spherical in shape, resulting in stronger saturation of colour. In a presentation, Erik Soto (Kat Von D Global Makeup Artist) demonstrated that the pigment is strong enough to cover a tattoo.
The texture, pigmentation and wear-time is almost identical to that of the Make Up For Ever Artist Shadows (though MUFE's contain 88% pigment). All day wear and smooth and creamy to the touch. All in all, they're a stellar eyeshadow formulation, especially if you're looking for a colour to create a high-impact look.
