26 Sep Makeup Review, Swatches: Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Powder Foundation, Unlock-It Makeup Remover Wipes
Love her or hate her, one thing is unanimous: Everyone loves Kat Von D’s makeup line! Lock-It Tattoo Powder Foundation ($34.00) is no different.
I love the black and silver compact, and how the sponge does not sit on top of the powder -– it is conveniently kept in a separate compartment.
The formula goes on easily, leaving behind a buildable coverage that does not look cakey. Apply with the sponge for full coverage, or use a brush to build your desired level.
It is so lightweight, too! It is formulated without mineral oil, paraffin, parabens and fragrance. As promised, the formula doesn’t crease or transfers anywhere else but your skin.
There are 17 shades. It is a thoughtful shade range with every undertone represented. Light 45 is my perfect match. I tried the entire light shade range (consisting of 5 shades). There are 8 medium shades and 4 deep shades to choose from.
I applied this product two ways: once as a stand-alone power foundation on top of sunscreen,
moisturizer and a makeup primer as recommended. I started to show some shine after 5-hours, so I blotted and touched up – good as new!
Then, I used this powder as a touch-up throughout the day: In the morning, I applied my sunscreen, moisturizer and liquid foundation. Then, I used Lock-It Tattoo Powder Foundation as a touch-up powder throughout the day.
My makeup lasted through the entire work day and into an after work event. Wear was good for a little over 14-hours.
The Unlock-It Makeup Remover Wipes ($15.00) promise to remove long-wearing formulas with ease.
They are excellent at removing eye makeup and this long-wearing powder foundation. The wipes are very soft and are made of biodegradable natural material, and are safe for sensitive skin.

Posted at 06:21h, 29 SeptemberI’m so happy to find this post! I don’t live close enough to a Sephora to stop in and find out what color would work for me in person,so I’ve been scouring the internet to find reviews/swatches of of this..with very little luck >w<;;
I'm a Light 42 in her liquid foundation,but her powder line only goes to Light 44.From what I've pieced together from reviews,I think the Light 45 powder would be best for me.It seems to be actually lighter than the Light 44? Maybe it's just my eyes playing tricks on me.
Just to be sure,in your pictures (of both the compacts & the swatches) what order are the colors in? Also,did you experience any oxidation? Thanks! (╹◡╹)

Posted at 00:06h, 30 SeptemberOh wow, I love that there are so many choices for lighter skin tones. It’s so hard to find my exact shade when so many brands only offer 1 option!

Posted at 03:09h, 30 SeptemberI love Kat Von D eyeshadow palettes! I own two and they colors are pigmented and gorgeous. I haven’t tried her face products though which I really do want to try them. Great review thanks!!
