Since her video announcing the termination of her friendship with Jeffree Star, everyone has been talking about Kat Von D. And while yes, keeping up with that drama is admittedly fascinating, we're way more obsessed with the tattoo artist's product line than her personal life.
Her eponymous cosmetics brand launched in Sephora stores in 2008 and has since become a cult favorite. Mere teases of launches (even those that are years away!) send fans spiraling down rabbit holes, looking for clues and dreaming up conspiracy theories. Since Kat is reformulating the line to be 100 percent vegan, all of her fans will be able to enjoy the powerfully pigmented products. Though the collection is edited, it is fantastic. You'll find that after just one use, her items will become staples in your beauty routine. Read on to discover the ones you need to try out.
Kat Von D Lock-It Foundation
This rich foundation is favored by makeup artists and stage performers alike thanks to its full-coverage formula. Even better, it lasts for 24 hours on the skin — so after a long day at work, your face will look as flawless as it did when you left the house that morning. A wide variety of complexions can rock it, as the product is available in 20 shades.
Kat Von D Lock-It Edge Foundation Brush
The densely packed bristles of this brush make it ideal for pairing with the thick, creamy formula of Kat Von D foundation — the tool buffs and blends it in with ease. The head has a unique shape that tapers to a point in the center, allowing you to apply makeup to hard-to-reach places, like the inner corners of the nose.
Kat Von D Metal Crush Eye Shadow
Like all of the brand's products, these shadows are intensely pigmented and offer vivid color payoff with just one swipe. The 11 ultrametallic hues vary from icy silver to parrot blue. Iggy, this electric emerald green, is one of Kat's personal favorites.
Kat Von D Lock-It Concealer Crème
In addition to the 20 skin-tone tints (which quickly hide dark circles, blemishes, and more), this full-coverage concealer is available in a unique white hue. Try using it for custom shade blending, highlighting, or as a base for bright eye shadows.
Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick
Kat Von D's matte liquid lip color is one of the most celebrated in the industry, and once you try it, you'll see why. The longwearing formula doesn't feel super dry like other formulas and can be layered multiple times without feeling chunky or stiff. But our favorite quality about these lipsticks is its wide variety of shades! We're especially fond of the mauve-rose shade Lolita, but lilac Ayesha, navy Echo, and carbon Witches are all worth checking out.
Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette
There are six generously sized pans — three highlight, three contour — of silky, blendable powder in this sculpting set, making it ultra portable. While it's best for those with medium complexions, fair and deep skin tones would still be flattered by this palette.
Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick
The glossy, studded tubes alone would be reason enough to hoard these lipsticks, but luckily, their contents are just as good as their wrappers. It's available in 39 shades (that vary from glimmering gunmetal to fluorescent neon pink), with options of matte, metallic, or shimmer finishes. Red-lip-lovers in particularly will be sated by Kat Von D lipsticks, as there are 10 different takes on crimson in the collection. Seen here is Bauhau5, a matte raspberry that counts Mindy Kaling amongst its fans.
Kat Von D Tattoo Liner
Many cat-eye aficionados swear by this liner's ultrafine brush tip to create the perfect wing. Trooper, the company's black shade, is among the darkest we've ever tried, but we're also fond of the chocolate brown shade (Mad Max Brown) for a more subdued style.
