Kim Kardashian West has teamed up with her long-time makeup artist [Mario](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/makeup-by-mario1) Dedivanovic to launch the new KKW Beauty x Mario palette. Though this is not the first time the duo have teamed up on a collaborative product, this latest palette is a little different than their original release.

The first palette released by Kardashian West and Dedivanovic primarily featured neutral tones. However, the new KKW Beauty x Mario palette features much warmer shades that include a metallic burgundy, a shimmering copper, a sparkling gunmetal, and a golden orange hue. The new collection of shades has officially been dubbed 'The Artist & Muse' collection and is set to launch just before Thanksgiving on November 22, 2019.
