The pigmentation was decent, while the texture was sofft and a little powdery. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.īrass Knuckles is a light-medium, yellow gold with a metallic sheen.

Mandala is a brightened, medium-dark orange with hints of red and a matte finish. See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side. It had nice color payoff, though the texture was powdery, so it took a few layers to achieve the intensity as seen in the pan on the eye.

It had good color payoff with a slightly powdery consistency. Solar is a light peach with warm undertones and a satin finish. Also, I would have probably given zero on quality for Gothica, but our system breaks when I use zero (on the to-fix list), hence the 0.5. I’d recommend checking out her Chrysalis or Monarch palettes, if you’re determined to snag a Kat Von D palette this holiday season.įor reference, the majority of the eyeshadows wore between six and seven hours, with a few getting closer to eight, but in general, they seemed more prone to fading than other eyeshadows I’ve tried by the brand. Brands should do better, and it’s such a shame when they put out inferior products that make customers question the brand’s reliability going forward. Then, of course, there is the issue of Gothica, which is a bit like a slap in the face (eye?), given that it is like loose micro-glitter without any base or binders. These absolutely need a primer to even stand a chance they just were miserable to use without primer, as they didn’t blend together well, while several shades went on much more muted. Even shades that had better color payoff still had a dryness to them that feels like the eyeshadow has more filler in it than is ideal. Perhaps the best way to start this review is to say that the formula used in the palette is inconsistent with previous palette releases from Kat Von D they feel more powdery, softer, and in general, there’s a cheaper, chalkier quality across the board. Kat Von D Star Studded Eyeshadow Book ($55.00 for 1.20 oz.) includes 24 eyeshadows from matte to frost.
