LOCK IT IN

One of my favorite powder foundations as of late is the Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Powder Foundation.  I have tried many powder foundations, and almost all have left me shiny only a few hours after I put it on or made my makeup appear cakey.  With this powder foundation, I have not had that problem.

The Kat Von D's powder foundation is a pressed powder foundation which promises buildable coverage, a flawless matte finish and 24 hour wear.  The product also claims to be smudge-proof, sweat-proof and resistant to caking.  Now when I use powder foundation, I like for it to cover my unevenness and redness and reduce any shine. Kat Von D's powder went on smooth and reduced my unevenness, shine and redness.  With just a swipe of my powder brush, it helped take care of my flaws and set my concealer.  Sure it does not last a full 24 hours, but for me, it lasted at least 12 hours.

The Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Powder Foundation melts onto my skin upon first application like a second skin, unlike the countless others I tried which just sat there looking like powder.  The powder foundation was still going strong without disappearing or oxidizing at the end of the day.  Even during the hot, humid weather during the summer, the powder foundation held on.  I appeared natural without any shine throughout the day.  And the coverage for this product is fantastic.  The coverage is medium to full and soft in texture.  I can achieve coverage in just one swoop, whereas with MAC, for example, I need several sweeps.

The packaging is actually pretty cool.  In addition to the first mirror where the powder is kept, there is a second mirror where the applicator is kept.  Kat Von D's powder foundation does not contain any fragrances, nor does it have any pore-clogging ingredients.  However, if you are allergic to talc, do not use this product as the powder foundation contains talc.

To date, I have not been faithful when it comes to using a particular brand of powder foundation.  I have tried different brands here and there, but never one I wanted to use religiously.    This powder foundation lived up to its promises.  It is budge-proof, sweat-proof and smudge-proof all day long.  It has a buildable formula which hides imperfections easily.  I plan on using Kat Von D's Lock It Tattoo Powder Foundation religiously from now on.

The Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Powder Foundation retails for $34.00.  It may be purchased at Sephora.
