Kat Von D Shade Shifter Eyeshadow: Stockholm

The final Kat Von D Shade Shifter Eyeshadow of the collection is Stockholm, a beautiful blue/purple duochrome. This is a fashion-forward color that ranges from electric blue to violet.



I love that each box is unique and allows the customer to easily identify which shade is in the box.



Like I mentioned in my other reviews, I'm a huge fan of the packaging on the Shade Shifter eyeshadows, which retail for $16 each, contain 0.09oz of product, and are available at Sephora exclusively.  The matte black case, clear window to allow easy identification of the product, and white tattooed flowers make a visually beautiful piece.





A great look, with flash.

As I previously mentioned, each Shade Shifter comes with a large foam applicator meant for the custom wet/dry application.

There are 3 ways to apply these shadows.

  1. Dry, with a regular eyeshadow brush (leaves a wash of color)
  2. Dry, with provided foam applicator (dense, less duochrome)
  3. Wet, with provided foam applicator (rich payoff, most duochrome)

My swatches are of the final 2 methods.  All are dry (left) and wet (right)

Outside, in indirect light.  Dry--- wet



Inside, with no flash.  Dry--- wet



Inside, with flash. Dry--- wet  (My favorite look at the duo effect, particularly with the wet application)




Overall, this is an amazing color best rocked by the confident, fashion-forward ladies out there. It's the least practical of the collection but some of the most beautiful pigments.
