Questions & Answers for Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Beethoven

Question
Will this palette work with blue eyes?
I have (very) dark blue/grey eyes. I know that browns and earth tones go best with blue, but I'm not sure about blue shadows with blue eyes. I love the colours on this palette but I don't know if it will suit me. Any other blue eyes out there know if it works?

as a blue eyed gal, i was torn between Beethoven and Ludwig. i chose the Beethoven and i am so glad i did. purples are beautiful with blue eyes, and are a great change from the normal gray or brown smokey eye i have been sticking to. there is only one blue shadow in the palette, and i have been using it to add a pop of color as a liner on my lower lash line. blue eyed girls will LOVE beethoven; dont be afraid!

This would look awesome with any eye color. Dont be afraid to go bold with your blue eyes. I would use the silver over the whole lid and the blue in the crease. Other than that I would avoid using the blue. You should be fine using the rest of the colors any way you want.

if you have blue eyes, I would avoid blue shadows because of it being all one color. You might want to go for the Ludwig palette, there are greens and golden bronze colors that will help make your eyes pop.

Hi Blue Eyes

Just wanted to offer a girlie suggestion in regard to your question about the blue-on-blue factor. I was a make-up artist for years and found ways to incorporate any eye color into the palette. If you use the blues as an accent color or partial lining color, you will do fine. You are so right about browns/camels being good for blue eyes. Purples are great too...

I hope the answer helps you just a little! Good luck with the shadows and have a great day!

Do you have the Ludwig palette already? The bronze tones are really great with blue eyes. I use every color in Ludwig, and all but Rad purple and speed blue in Beethoven. Rad p and Spd b might be ok, just have always avoided blue shadows - not the look I like.

Never really tried using it as a base--I prefer the Urban Decay Primer Potion in SIN as my "eyebase"/"primer".....but I have used the light yellowish shade "Tequila" as my brow-bone "highlight"....!

Using tequila as a base will give your eyeshadow the shimmery look. It can also be used to highlight and lighten up eyeshadow if you accidently get it too dark.

Tequila is the color you's uses as a highlight color under your brow bone. these eyeshdhows a powedrt not a cream so I'd get a real base like urban decay primer potion.

All the colors are very versatile and blendable. Tequila is a matte very pale yellow, the color is not sheer. Worked as a base for me, I'm very fair skinned.

I like to use it as the lighter shade on the inner part of my eyelid. It holds its color very well, so if you wanted to and could pull it off with your skin color, than yeah, you could use it as a base. I usually blend the leather(brown) and lucifer(black) on the 2/3 of my outer lid then blend the tequila on the 1/3 of the inner lid and somewhat into the leather and lucifer blend I used before. It's a great color!

I have hazelish green eyes too and I honestly wear all of the colors but the ones that make your eyecolor "pop" the most would probably be the lavenders, purples, and even some of the brown or gold hues. Hope that helps. :D

I am green eyed and the colors work well for me. Hazel eyes are very nice and this should really bring out that color. The purples in tihs palette are great and I would guess purple is your color. The Ludwig palette would go well with your eyes too but the rock n roll colors in tihs palette woul really bring out your eye color. Good luck :-)

you're very lucky to have hazel eyes! that color goes amazingly well with just about anything. this palette with really make those eyes pop out, especially if you do some darker shadow blending in the crease and outer rim. don't forget to highlight under the brows!!! the other palette will work just as well, but i myself am partial to dark smoky eyes so i say go for it!

Definitely a powder. Expect some fallout if using a lot of color. (Though the finishes are slightly different- glittery and matte mostly.)

I am not 100% about these products being cruelty free but I would think they are because Kat is for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and Kat Von D said in a magazine "I would rather tattoo naked than wear fur". I hope this helps answer your question.

I'm sure they are knowing that Kat is an animal activist herself, I'm sure she doesn't test them on animals. but it doesn't say it on any of her products...I'm sure she doesn't though.

The only thing I would double check on is the Squalene. It could be a plant based derivative, but there's a good chance that it's not since most squalene is derived from shark liver oil.

I am so sorry, I was answering your question and I got cut off. I hope the tip about sensitive eyes and brushes got through!Anyway, I am still not sure if t is Vegan because I don't know where the sources come from. Ingredients :Zinc Sterate,Squalene(which could be Plant derived)Dimethicone,Silica,Lauroyl Lysine,Glyceryl Caprilate,Lecithin,Potossium Sorbate,Phenoyethanol, a couple of shades may have mineral oil or iron oxide or titinium dioxde in very small amounts or in the green a small amount of chromium oxide green to enhance the color. and at the end of the list bismuth oxychloride which is in most all naturally based mineral loose makeup. I hope this helps, it doesn't seem to be non-vegan except if the squalene is not plant based. I have VERY sensitive eyes and LOVE this line and have no problems. You might try one of the single (duo) compact and see how you do. It really is a great line. Good luck! and Best of wishes!

I would reccommend the Ludwig palette, since Beethoven has too many dark colors, which would look harsh of fair-toned skin. Greens will bring out the inner tones in her skin color, giving off a natural glow to her face. I hope this helps.

My opinion is to get this one. This has a very nice shade of pink and the plum colors are also very edgy and feminine at the same time. This contains many girly colors that are perfect for the smokey eye look and it goes great with medium skintones as well

It really depends on what kind of look you want. That's the beauty of this palette. You can use the purple shades (great for brown eyes) to do a beautiful smoky purple grey eye, or be neutrel and use Tequila for your base color and brow bone highlighter, with a little bit of leather in the crease. You can also use Leather as a liner. I love brown eyes, because you can get away with almost any color and still look beautiful! The way you apply the shadows makes the shades go from innocent to bold as well. My eyes are Hazel/brown and a quick wash of Razor Gray looks great with some grey or black liner. Hope this helped rather than confused! Have fun!!!

best color that would match a light brown eye would be the brown in your crease and the gold on the inset of your eyes to make the different flecks in your eyes pop.
