When it comes to wicked style that’s raw and feminine at the same time, Kat Von D is at the top of her game. The unorthodox tatted beauty stole the show – literally – when she made the move from co-star on reality hit series MIAMI INK to opening up her very own shop in LA INK.

If Kat wasn’t a tattoo artist, she’d be a make-up artist, and claims to be a borderline obsessive compulsive beauty product hoarder. She can now pack even more make-up into her closet (yes…she’s got an entire closet full) as she’s launched her very own KAT VON D limited edition collection at Sephora.

Our favourite item is the Kat Eye Brush Set, which contains five make-up brushes decorated with silver stenciled roses inspired by her favourite tat. The kit includes a brow brush, angled eye shadow brush, smudge brush, blending brush, and flat eyeliner brush.

The rest of the collection encompasses key products like shadows, lipsticks, and liquid liners, which complete Kat’s 15-minute signature look.

Most importantly, Kat’s sex kitten persona would not be complete without a strong red lip. Easier said than done. Please make sure that like Kat, you are in fact wearing the lip colour – not the other way around. To make our lives a little bit easier, Kat has created four lipsticks that come in different shades of crimson – from the subtle and rosy hued Lolita to all-eyes-on-YOU Love Lipstick in Underage Red; how raunchy and mildly inappropriate!

As soon as we’re done with Kat’s pucker, we make our way towards her dreamy eyes. Kat begins by liberally applying brown Leather shadow, found in the Beethoven Palette, to the lid. She then applies black Lucifer shadow overtop, concentrating on the crease and around the lash line, before taking a minute to blend the two.

Next, Kat dusts a pale yellow shade with shimmer underneath the brow, and into the corner of the eye. Once all the shadow is in place, its time to line the top and bottom lids with glittery black liner – appropriately called Black Metal Love – which Kat flicks at the outer corners.

Finishing off the look are Kat’s perfectly groomed, super dramatic arched brows, which she fills in with black Lucifer shadow using a slanted brow brush. And voila!
