Anyone who knows me knows that I really love the makeup line Kat von D released with cosmetics giant Sephora. It's the perfect mix of dramatic and practical with packaging that really appeals to the Goth in me while still being slick, elegant and tasteful. I've been in love with Kat's Tattoo Concealer since it came out and was DYING for her to release a foundation. Finally that day arrived and I rushed out and bought it. Due to my history with Kat's products I had very high expectations for this, and couldn't wait to get home to try it.
The packaging is absolutely stunning; foundation in a sleep pump-tube with Kat's signature black filigree design around the bottom and top all encased in a thick clear plastic. Unfortunately, this $41CAD foundation is nothing but nice packaging.
When I tried it it was WAY too thick! It felt like I was applying a face mask! It was impossible to blend into my skin and seemed almost patchy. After I let it set and went back to look in the mirror I was shocked by how badly the dry-down was; it made me look like I had wrinkles... I'm 22!! I can't imagine anyone with even slightly mature skin using this, it would make them look like the crypt keeper! and to top all that off the foundation never fully settles into the skin, it's still very smudgy hours after you've applied it and it's not something I would use powder with in fear that it would become cakier than it already is!
I hate to say it, but the quality of this is just awful!!! You would be better off buying foundation from the dollar store, which I do not recommend. So disappointed in this product, EPIC FAIL!
