Kat Von D Chrysalis Eyeshadow Palette - Review, Photos, Swatches

KatVonD Chrysalis Eyeshadow Palette is a stunner - whether you talk about the packaging or the colors inside.

The dark themed butterfly speaks smokey with a hint of softness.  Its a black cardboard material with a matte finish. Yet it feels nice when you hold it. And mine was quite safe in bubble wrap when it reached me. The palette opens up with a big mirror on one side.

The eyeshadow palette consists of a total of  twelve shades that range from soft beige to purple to deep navy blue. The colors have different finishes making this palette very versatile when you combine different colors.

 The larger eyeshadows are highlights and can be used as a base to pop out other colors. These are 2.69 gm. each, while the smaller eyeshadows are 1.4 gm. each.

Kat Von D’s eyeshadow formula is nice and soft. It is easy to blend the colors but some shades do tend to sheer out. One or two colors can be a bit powdery too. With an eyeshadow primer this problem is sorted. The wear time is nice - I got a wear time of about 5 hours on my oily lids without a primer.

The Ultime Pro Eyeshadow crayon looks exactly like the matte lip crayon. Its a chubby stick with a plastic cap. The crayon body is of the same color as the eyeshadow itself. The texture is extremely smooth and waterproof. The eyeshadow can be used to line the eyes or spread across the entire lid. You must work quickly if you want to smudge it out. It dries fast and settles to a waterproof finish.

The eye shadow colors stay on the eyes for a long time, if you have oily lids you can use  a primer underneath. The colors are highly pigmented and give you a deeper impact if you have a primer underneath.
