Shades: Metallic Truffle
Metallic Truffle is a shade extension: it brings the existing Velvet Love Eyeliner Pencil formula to a new colour. According to ZOEVA, the warm grey-brown base gives soft definition, and the light-catching shimmer shows at its fullest in daylight. Another brand has also recently added a shade called Truffle to an eye pencil: NABLA Cupid's Arrow Micro Truffle & Blue Amber, announced on 6 October 2026.
ZOEVA sorts Velvet Love Eyeliner Pencil shades into two finishes. Metallic shades have a shimmering, light-reflecting finish. Perfect shades finish smooth and matte. The brand says both share the same creamy, gel-like formula and up-to-8-hour wear. ZOEVA's product page also has an Eye Colour filter that shows which shades it suggests for brown, blue, grey, hazel or green eyes.

What Makes the Velvet Love Eyeliner Pencil Metallic Truffle Different?
- It pairs a warm grey-brown base with a metallic shimmer, where ZOEVA's Perfect shades are matte.
- ZOEVA says Metallic shades are made for the lash line and doesn't recommend them on the waterline. It recommends Perfect shades for the waterline.
- ZOEVA currently lists it as an online exclusive on its US, EU and International sites.
Formula and Brand Claims
According to ZOEVA, the formula is:
- Highly pigmented: gives dramatic definition in one stroke
- Gel-like and ultra-creamy: glides on without pulling or dragging the skin
- Waterproof and smudge-proof once set: holds for up to 8 hours
- Suitable for sensitive eyes: the brand says it is dermatologically tested and was well tolerated by people with sensitive eyes, with the results confirmed by ophthalmologists. ZOEVA also describes it as 100% vegan.
ZOEVA cites a consumer-perception study of 22 women:
- 100% said the colour is intense from the first swipe and easy to blend straight after application
- 95% said the colour stays even and intense after 8 hours of wear
- 91% said it does not crease, transfer or settle into lines, and that it feels comfortable on the eyelid
- In a subgroup of 8 women aged 40+, 100% agreed it performs well on hooded and mature eyelids. 88% agreed it still performed well after 8 hours of wear.

How to Use
ZOEVA says the pencil can create a classic wing, a bold line or a smudged-out smoky eye. For more depth, it suggests applying one pass, blurring the edge with the ZOEVA 230 Detail Smoky Blender Brush before the formula sets, then layering a second pass. To keep a precise tip on the soft texture, the brand recommends a high-quality cosmetic sharpener such as the ZOEVA Single Sharpener or the Velvet Love Duo Sharpener.
