Dazzling Highlighter Palettes

Kat Von D's 'Metal Crush' Collection Provides an Instant Glow

Celebrity tattoo artist and makeup brand owner Kat Von D recently added to her expansive collection with the addition of a new highlighting palette, which is dubbed 'Metal Crush,' due to the metallic sheen that the three different shades leave.

Included in the palette is a silver-hued white shade, a soft peach, and a bright bubble gum pink. All of these shades are packed with shimmer and are made to last all day, meaning that a little product goes a long way.

The Metal Crush highlighting palette follows Kat Von D's eye shadow palette of the same name, which was well-received by her loyal consumers due to its inclusion of eccentric shades that were incredibly pigmented.
