![]() ![]() I didn’t want to believe the hype about the liquid version of the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector, but all you have heard is true!Īnother product I’ve used an awful lot in August is the Build-A-Brow from IT Cosmetics. Compared to the pressed version, I would say that the liquid is a bit more customizable both in how you can use it and the end appearance, and it’s not as intense if you use it sparingly. It’s just perfect! It can be built up to be more intense as well, but I prefer it to look relatively natural. It doesn’t disturb the products underneath. It doesn’t look greasy and there’s no glitter whatsoever. I’ve been tapping just a small dot over my blush and powder and it looks like a completely natural glow on the cheeks. Well August was its moment and this liquid highlighter is just so stunningly beautiful and surprisingly natural. I’d been loving the Pressed version and had a mini tube (that will still last nearly a lifetime!) of this highlighter for ages, but I never actually tried it. I hope Kat Von D releases another mini MetalMatte palette in the near future.Probably my absolute favorite find of the month is the BECCA Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal. I really enjoy this palette, the shades are so vibrant and fun to play with. So that was it – the Kat Von D MetalMatte palette in swatches. The shadows went on chalky, patchy and lost pigmentation over primer. The matte shadows swatched very poorly over primer. The matte shadows swatched and applied very well over bare skin. The other four matte shadows blend out well and have good pigmentation. Velvet is dry, chalky and difficult to build up. The only matte in this palette that has given me issues is Velvet. The matte shadows in this palette are good quality but they are drier in texture. ![]() The mattes in this palette swatch and apply true to colour in the pan. (Evidently, I accidentally swatched Doce twice over primer – that’s why there’s 6 shades) There wasn’t a dramatic difference in how the shades laid down over bare skin or primer. Though, they are definitely pigmented enough on their own without primer. The shimmer shadows applied slightly better over primer. Shadow applied evenly to my bare skin and last for 6+ before fading. I usually always wear an eyeshadow primer but these shadow are pigmented enough that I don’t need one. All of the shimmer shadows are intensely pigmented. All 5 shimmer shadows have a soft, silky texture. The shimmer shadows in the mini MetalMatte palette are very smooth and buttery. The original MetalMatte was full of shades I wouldn’t get use out of but the mini version is packed with wearable, wonderful shadows I can use everyday.Īll five shimmer shadows swatch and apply to the eyelid true to the colour in the pan. I was pumped when I saw she was releasing a smaller version last year. The Kat Von D Mini MetalMatte palette is on sale for 50% off at Sephora, (grab a good deal while you still can)! Unfortunately, I missed out on the original MetalMatte palette Kat Von D released a few years back. So here goes nothing – my first swatch gallery post. The shadows are stunning so I thought it would be a good palette to use in my first swatch post. ![]() The MetalMatte mini has been in my collection since early last year. I’ve been playing with the idea of creating a Swatch Gallery on my blog. ![]()
