Kat Von D Makeup Line Jul 31st 2011, 10:08 The Bottom Line This is a good quality line of makeup, although some individual products are better than others. If you're a fan of Kat Von D, you'll probably enjoy this line especially if you want to emulate her bold style of makeup. The colors are very dark and bold and have to be applied with care or you just end up with a mess. The prices are reasonable and the line is growing to include even more products. But all in all, I wouldn't say it's any better than any of the other trendy lines that Sephora carries. It's all personal preference. Pros Good Quality Makeup in Bold, Trendy Colors High Quality Brushes and Tools Line is Growing Quickly, Offering More Products Monthly Reasonably Priced for a High End Beauty Store Cons Some of the eye shadow colors are way too dark The individual eye shadow pots don't apply well dry but are too dark wet Not really any better than similar high-end makeup lines Description The liquid eyeliners come in a nice collection of colors both neutral and bright, depending on your personal style. The lipsticks deliver a true Kat Von D heart attack in varying shades of red. The new tattoo concealer does not seem to be any different than a normal concealing product and failed to cover my ink. The sparkling lip glosses smell and taste great while delivering a beautiful shimmer, but leaves a slightly gritty residue. The individual eye shadow pots are only for the most daring. They are also dry and dusty and make quite a mess. If you can still get the limited edition shadow collections, they are beautiful and creamy and apply like a dream. Guide Review - Sephora's Kat Von D Makeup Line When Sephora introduced the Kat Von D line, I wasn't sure what to think. My first impression was positive because it's great to see such a high end shop embracing someone so heavily entrenched in the body art culture, but then again it really all comes down to the almighty dollar doesn't it? So, then I wondered--is Sephora just cashing in on the next big thing, or were they really going to provide a high quality but edgy line that would appeal to the tattoo community? The line started out very small at first - a couple of limited edition shadow collections, a few lipsticks, and a few individual shadow pots in varying shades of black. Granted, Kat Von D can get away with looking like she's got 10 layers of color on her eyes and lips, but the rest of us would probably look ridiculous. It was my hope that the line would afford the opportunity to wear a toned-down version of Kat's edgy persona. At first, that wasn't really the case. The only things available - other than the limited edition collections - were so dark and bold that, unless you're in a rock band, were just too much. But as the line continues to grow, there are more friendly (but still edgy) products being introduced, such as sparkling lipglosses and colorful eyeliners. Since Sephora is so good about allowing you to try before you buy, I would suggest visiting your local store and playing with the samples a bit before deciding whether this makeup line is for you. I do like it, but I don't like it any more than Smashbox, Too Faced and Urban Decay, which all deliver similar trendy products that are more suited for the average, non-rockstar woman.
