Kat Von D MetalMatte Cruelty-Free Tutorial Smoky Teal

Today I’m excited to share my Kat Von D MetalMatte Cruelty-Free Tutorial Smoky Teal for Teal Thursday with you. While I don’t think you can pick up the MetalMatte palette online at Sephora now, it still seems to be available in store. I love this palette and even a few months after having purchased it, I still find myself reaching for it. I love the cooler tones.

First, use a fluffy brush to apply Bone as a base shade all over. Second, with a fluffy crease brush, mix Suede & Stone together to create a light taupe transition shade for the hood of the eye, the lid, and lower lid. Next, take a stiff shader brush and line the upper lashline and lower lashline thickly with Velour. Keep it smaller towards the inner corner and make it wider towards the outer corner, winging it out. Immediately after that, using the same brush blend Moss onto the lid slightly above Velour, winging it out. Then blend Nebula on top of Moss and Velour on the lid. Next, blend Watt on top of Moss and Velour on the lid, and on top of Velour on the lower lid, winging it out. Using a small fluffy crease brush blend Stone into the edge of the lid and hood colors, where matte meets metallics. Spritz a brush with UD All Nighter spray, then pat Aromaleigh Thalassa onto the inner lid and inner v. Line the waterline with a teal liner. I used NARS Abbey Road. I also set this with Watt. Finally, highlight under the brows with Makeup Geek Moon Phase.

The Kat Von D MetalMatte Cruelty-Free Tutorial was honestly one of those looks that I had a ton of fun during its creation. You could technically stop at step 4 in the eyeshadow and still have a really cool all matte look. However, I chose to go on and add shimmer to it. I don’t normally apply eyeshadow the way I did in this look, which is what ultimately made it so much fun.

Sugarpill U4EA is essentially the best teal blue lipstick I’ve ever owned. I love it. Not crazy about the ‘citrus’ smell, but the color and formula are top notch.

Urban Decay Perversion lipstick is the best black ever. Seriously. It’s significantly heads and tails above any other black lipstick that I’ve owned, and I’ve owned a lot. If you want the perfect black lipstick that will wear all night for you without drying out your lips, this is it. Use it with the Perversion lip pencil, blot, apply another coat, and blot. Then you’ll be set. It’s so good. Though I gotta say, I love how it looks with just a touch of Thalassa and the Vanity gloss on top.

Vanity gloss is altogether great for deepening or cooling off any lipstick color. It’s that perfect sheer black that adds a lot of shine. It immediately makes your lips look bigger if you apply it just to the center of them.

All in all, I hope you find the lip combinations and eyeshadow Cruelty-Free tutorial inspiring. I really enjoyed making them.
