Kat Von D Inspired Makeup

Hi Everyone!

Pixiwoo's latest video completely reminded me of the face chart I drew up and never got round to doing. I love red lips with a strong eye, and I think this look is definitely one of my favourites! Kat likes to play around with colour a lot but I thought I'd go with her more signature look of blacks, greys and taupe browns with a pearlescent shadow on the lid. Kat seems to be going for more toned down makeup at the moment with her bright red hair.

I went for a heavier bronzed contour as it's quite prominent in a lot of photographs I've seen of her (and on TV, I'm a total LA Ink addict ;). The stars I individually drew onto paper and cut them out with scissors, coloured them in with a black felt tip pen and stuck them on with Duo lash glue - I knew I would become a little OCD about them if I had to draw them all on. I'm bad enough at stars at it is! I counted 18 stars on that side of Kat's face but I only did 14 because they became a bit tiresome after a while haha. My hair covered a few though, oops!

Products Used:
Face:
-Maybelline Superstay 24H foundation - 10 Porcelain Ivory (I'm loving this at the moment)
-MAC Pearl Cream Colour Base (highlight)
-ELF Blush/Bronzing Duo (bronzer for contour, I contoured my nose with this a little too)

Eyes:
NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil - Black Bean (base for outer V)
MAC - Copperplate
MAC - Print
MAC - Brun + a little Sleek black (brows)
Sleek Storm Palette - Matte Black
Milani Domino Quad - lid and brow highlight
MAC - #7 lashes

Lips:
MAC - Lady Danger (of course! hehe)

Kat Von D
Whenever I have to type her name 'Kat Von Delayed' always pops into my head from that episode of LA Ink... but that's just me being weird haha.

  8. Thank you for the lovely comments!

    @joycexc - Thank you hun! I just checked out your blog :) I actually don't have any violet in my hair - I wish I did! It's the glare from my bedroom window behind me combined with the lighting that gives a funny cast toward the top of my head, you can see it in a few of my other photos xx
