Katherine von Drachenber, also known worldwide as Kat Von Dee, is an American tattoo artist, author of two best-selling tattoos and creator of the same name cosmetics. During one show in which Kat participated, representatives of the Sephora brand noticed her bright, perfect red lipstick, which “lay” on her lips in an even layer, without cracks and roughness.
As it turned out, in order to achieve this color, the tattoo artist simply mixed two edemas. And representatives of the brand offered her cooperation under their leadership, aimed at producing a limited line of lipsticks in the amount of four shades. Since then, the cosmetic brand Kat Von D has been gaining popularity worldwide.
Features
Kat is quite a spectacular girl, her vivid images are perfectly combined with her tattoos, and makeup only emphasizes her personality. Why are Von Dee cosmetics so popular? Most likely, the answer here is only one - everything is thought out in it to the smallest detail, ranging from design and color palette to packaging design.
It is safe to assume that Katherine herself uses her makeup. After all, with the product line of her brand, you can not only easily repeat her everyday makeup, but also experiment with bold images.
Everyone loves Kat's makeup because it can be attributed to a professional, which is easy to use independently. Dense tonal foundations easily hide defects (and even tattoos). This is what many girls like - a dense coating that covers any flaws. And this is an unspeakable plus. After all, few tones can boast of such density and durability.
Another plus is that Kat's cosmetics do not contain a single component of animal origin.
She is not tested on animals. After all, this is the main goal that Kat set for herself when creating her cosmetics.
Products
Total products in the line 23.They are available for purchase and for 10 years have not changed. Lock-it Foundation has 19 shades. It is very dense, but light. It is famous for the fact that it can cover any flaws. In addition to it, it is not necessary to use a concealer under the eyes, as the finish will be excellent without it. Separately, the design and convenient dispenser for its packaging can be noted.
The next product worth paying attention to is eyeliner Tattoo Liner. An ideal liner for drawing arrows of various shapes, lengths or densities. Many note its persistence throughout the day. It is suitable for both professional makeup and beginners in this matter. The eyeliner resembles a felt-tip pen with a very flexible tip that can draw both subtle arrows and the cat's eye, which Kat herself prefers. The pigment is very persistent, saturated black. It dries on the skin in seconds and is not smeared, even if you blink very often.
The next product that should be in every cosmetic bag is Everlasting Liquid Lipstick. It has a finish in the form of a matte velvety coating. The consistency is light, does not feel at all on the lips. The pigment is bright enough, even in one layer you can get a dense coating. The applicator is sharp. This is done so that you can accurately draw the contour of the lips. If you are a lover of the effect of "naturalness" or "kissed" lips, then just apply lipstick on the middle of the lip and blend it with a fingertip. Lipstick does not slip during wearing, does not clog into cracks and does not emphasize peeling.
Shades in the palette of lipsticks totals about 40 pieces - from everyday here to bold red. With so many lipsticks, you can create any make-up. Components such as vitamin E and sunflower seed oil give hydration to the lips. In addition to liquid lipsticks, the lineup also contains simple lipstick called Studded Kiss Lipstick. There are 39 in total. These are 15 lipsticks with a shimmer and 24 lipsticks with a satin or matte finish. They are not as popular as liquid, since they are slightly dry.
Cream Concealer Lock-it Concealer Cream perfectly copes with its task, blocks pigment spots, any redness or acne, as well as circles under the eyes, but requires additional fixing with powder. Shade + Light Contour Palette consists of only three 3 shades of a haliter and 3 sufficiently deep dark shades for the contour. By texture, they are dry and very light. Ideal for easy and barely noticeable correction of any flaws. The downside of the product is that its colors are very dark. But if you have tanned dark skin, then the palette is perfect for you.
Shade Palettes Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette do not differ in any bright or flashy colors. Shades of everyday, dark. They are well pigmented and completely reproduce color in one application. Immortal Lash 24 Hour Mascara Mascara - universal mascara, with a 3 in 1 effect (lengthening, curling and volume).
Due to its durability, many people liked this mascara. It is waterproof, does not crumble, has a silicone brush.
Kat Von Dee's makeup is unique. A beautiful design will delight you every day, and the products themselves will last long enough. Of the minuses of cosmetics, I would like to note only:
- possible allergic reactions to natural components in the composition;
- poor availability (not in all cosmetic stores you can buy products of this brand);
- value, which varies from the dollar.
But still, all of the listed disadvantages are more than overlapping with the positive aspects of Kat Von D. cosmetics.
In the next video you will find an overview of Kat Von D. cosmetics.
