New Kat Von D Lock It Tattoo Foundation Review

So here's a quick review of my most recent purchase. I didn't think I would get a chance to try this out at all until the hubby decided to spoil me (after I mentioned wanting to try it and thought it be a good Christmas gift).
 
   Now I have only been color matched  maybe twice ever.... for Merle Norman cosmetics (ions ago) and for Mary Kay (I wore Fawn foundation) so thought I'd get color matched at Sephora. Was so glad I did too. I have always gone for neutral foundations since my skin tone tends to lean both warm and cool at the same time, but I always was under the impression that I had yellow undertones to my skin. Apparently I don't. I found out, by the awesome sales person who color matched me, that I have peachy/red undertones to my skin and if I wear yellow I could quite possibly walk around looking like an Oompa Loopma and not even know it.... Gah!!! So... thank goodness for awesome sales people who save you from looking like a freakazoid. :)

  Anywho, I wear this foundation in Light 48. Perfect match!!! First impression, this went on awesomely! Now it is a bit on the medium/heavy coverage side, which I tend not to mind as I prefer the medium/light coverage to tinted moisturizers mostly during the warmer months and medium/heavy during the cooler months. It covers any imperfections really well without feeling too heavy at all. Doesn't settle into any fine lines, which is a plus in my book. One thing though that I did notice is that, on my skin at least, it looked better the longer I had it on. Better than when I first applied, which makes me love it that much more. But I have yet to find that perfect foundation that looks as awesome on first application as it does after a few hours wear, so still on the hunt for that.

   Would I recommend this foundation? Well if you don't mind paying a pretty penny on a foundation ($34), I'd say go for it.... but not sure if I would repurchase, especially if I am able to find something comparable for a cheaper price... I go back and forth between the Kat Von D foundation and my Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme foundation.... incidentally they both do the same exact thing on my skin.

   My high? getting color matched and finding out what my true undertones were (BONUS!) My low? the price, $34 that's a little more than I want to spend on something that will run out and need to be repurchased.
 A wonderful product but just too pricey for my budget.
