![]() To sum up my feelings on these shadows… I like the packaging, I think the shadow quality is excellent, the colours are beautiful (they’ve got some GORGEOUS vibrant shades!) and you’re getting quite a bit of product in the pans. The Metal Matte palette is limited edition, so make sure you pick it up while you can! While I don’t own this palette (yet) myself, the reviews have all said that the quality is amazing and on par for the brand. I am INCREDIBLY happy that Kat Von D released her Metal Matte palette for the holiday season which is an amazing value since you get not only a huge variety of her Metal Crush shadows, but you also get a ton of her matte shadows. Sure, the pans are much larger than your average eyeshadow (you’re getting about 1 gram more than normal), but if you want to pick up a handful of shades, you’re pushing close to $100 which can be a bit of a punch to the wallet. The major stickler for people may be the price point ($25 CAD/$21 USD). The shade range is gorgeous and exciting, and I do wish I had some of the brighter shades because they look absolutely incredible. I found that the Metal Crush shadows were extremely pigmented and beautiful.

I know a lot of people also wear it as a highlighter on their cheekbones, but I was oddly not as keen on it that way. It’s a great shadow to put all over the lid and then pair it with other colours on the outer corner because it can shape itself to fit a lot of different colours. It can look pure white straight on, but from an angle it reflects pink and orange and occasionally some tinges of blue (it’s quite opalescent). This is a semi-out of focus shot (and unedited) to show you the colour dimension in Thunderstruck. Kat Von D Metal Crush shadows swatched: Raw Power, Synergy and Thunderstruck All of these shadows are metallic (hence the name M etal Crush), so you’ll need to pull in some mattes to complete your look. Swatched, you can see just how intense the pigmentation is. Thunderstruck is the shade everyone seems to rave about and it is ALWAYS out of stock on Sephora’s web site! Kat Von D Metal Crush shadows swatched: Raw Power, Synergy and Thunderstruck Oddly, I didn’t pick up the more vibrant shades (for once in my life) – I was sent Synergy (the bronze metallic) and I bought Raw Power (red/mahogany) and Thunderstruck (white duochrome/pearl). ![]() Kat Von D Metal Crush shadows in Raw Power, Thunderstruck and Synergy However, I was at IMATS earlier this month and they had reduced prices so I decided to pick up two shades I’d had sitting in my Sephora cart for a VERY long time! It worked out kind of well because I’d also been sent one shade from PR (although it had arrived completely shattered and I had to repress it) so I was able to try out a few more shades and speak to the formula a bit more. I am laaaate to the party with the Kat Von D Metal Crush shadows! They were really hard to get my hands on when they first launched (and some of the shades are continuously out of stock because they’re so popular!) and the price point was a bit jarring ($25 CAD per shadow!).
