For Fall 2015 Kat Von D Beauty has introduced 9 new bold shades of the Kat Von D Studded Kiss Lipstick ($25). I have seven of these new shades to share with you today. These lipsticks come in the signature black studded packaging.
This formula offers intense colour payoff and long wear. I found the formula varied slightly between shades. Most I tested have the highly pigmented, opaque finish, and drier texture that I would associate with a “traditional” matte lipstick formula. A couple of the shades had a bit creamier finish and I found to be more comfortable like Chula and Nayeon. Others were a bit more sheer like Plan 9 and Piaf.
The nine new shades are:
- Mercy – plum shimmer. (Not tested.)
- Nayeon – gunmetal shimmer. This is one of my favorites out of the new shades I tested. It has excellent pigmentation and the shimmer looks amazing! Too bad I don’t have the nerve to wear a gunmetal lipstick!
- Plan 9 – forest green shimmer. This is a really fun colour but it applies unevenly as it is a bit sheerer than the other shades.
- Piaf – mousy chocolate with purple shimmer. This is one of my favorite colors out of the new shades. The chocolate with purple shimmer flash looks so cool! Unfortunately I found the formula made it a little too tricky to wear as it is hard to get an even application.
- Chula – terra cotta. The formula on this is really lovely. Even, opaque coverage with a creamy comfortable feel. Great fall shade.
- Solo – metallic orange. If you can pull of orange this is such a fun shade!
- Magick – nude berry shimmer. This is a gorgeous creamy matte pink with sparse shimmer. I wish they had left out the shimmer as I find it ends up all over my face.
- Halo – bright orange. Halo is amazing. I can see how it got it’s name as it is so bright you would swear it is glowing.
- Tijuana – bold magenta. (Not tested.)
See anything you love? Would you be bold enough to wear some of the more adventurous shades?
