Kat Von D: Sexy Make up!

I am fascinated with tattoos as a form of self expression-- not that I am daring enough to tattoo stuff all over myself but I love looking at them on other people. I mean, it's not like buying a new dress, a tattoo (for the most part) is permanent! So it takes a very daring and decisive individual-- not me, because I am totally indecisive and can not even decide on what I'm having for lunch without changing my order 2 or 3 times let alone a permanent ink drawing on my bum. However, if you happen to be considering a tattoo or two or three, you must check out Kat Von D-- the Tattoo Artist of choice of the trendy Hollywood jet set (those little paw prints on Eve? Kat's work!). She is known for glamorizing the once taboo tattoo and now she wants to beautify your face, too! Her collection of make up palettes embrace old Hollywood glamour and is a must for those of us too timid to walk into her tattoo parlor. My favorite is the Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette - Ludwig, a collection of bold browns and deep blues for you to blend and shade. I played around with it and love using the dark blue as a tint of accent on the outer edge of my upper lids- it's sexy without being overdone. The browns and beiges are of course staples for daily use but if you do get the urge to express yourself with a flower or symbol, go see Kat at High Voltage Tattoo! $34 at Sephora.
