I used this palette today, to do a smoky blue eyed look.
If you are familiar with the looks I do, you already know I don't use blue eyeshadow.. like ever.
In fact, this is probably the only real blue EOTD you will ever see on my blog.
I read a few reviews saying that metal orchestra had the most 'wearable' blue colors, and after seeing other people's EOTD's they did with this I thought I may as well try it!
- First Class (white with glitter)
- Techno (light blue with glitter)
- Thrasher (deeper medium blue with shimmer)
- Dagger ( Dark navy blue with glitter)
- Lucifer (matte black, this color is found in almost all KVD palettes!)
- Glock (gunmetal silver shimmer, also in KVD adora palette)
- Razor Gray (medium grayed silver)
- Slayer cream shadow (shiny metallic silver, also found in KVD adora palette)
And here is my EOTD using the blue shadows:
This is another EOTD I did with metal orchestra, using the silver and greys:
I can't believe how much I actually like this palette. I avoid blue shadow like the plague but the way the colors are coordinated in metal orchestra makes the blues easy to use, and surprisingly edgy looking.
I think that metal orchestra is similar to the adora love and fury palette in that all the colors are deep and dramatic, and really make a statement. Not for those who only wear neutrals that's for sure!
Once again I am impressed with the packaging, quality and pigment of this palette. I have yet to find a Kat Von D palette that I don't like!
What do you think of blue eyeshadow? would you wear it?
Thraser looks lovely! I do wear blue fairly often, I don't think it's anything to be scared of! This looks like a lovely palette - nice smoky blues, not scary 80's ones!
ReplyDeleteI have and adore this palette. The one trouble is that the cream shadow WILL dry up.
ReplyDeleteI have this palette also, and it ROCKS for creating a blue smokey eye. I love the one that you created! I also agree with Vijii above, that damn cream eyeliner has dried up on me!
