The cruelty-free brand has released a palette worthy of your summer shenanigans with 8 matte eyeshadows  6 bold and bright hues, a dark grey, and a white. Although the shades aren’t as pastel as the name claims, they work perfectly for brighter summer makeup looks.

True to Kat Von D standards, the shades are highly pigmented and very blendable. The downside is that these shades are susceptible to the summer sun and may fade faster than you’d like, hey, why not flaunt smokey eyes during the day?
