Beauty's Pavilion: KAT VON D Shade & Light Contour Palette

Kat Von D recently released the Shade & Light Contour palette that was hotly anticipated by beauty gurus, makeup artists and the everyday makeup lover looking to achieve the contouring techniques made famous by movie stars and models. Lets face it, contouring and highlighting is one of the most watched videos on YouTube and this trend is not going away anytime soon.

As an Artist by nature, the Kat Von D shades are expected to take this technique to another level with three matte highlighting shades and three matte contouring shades designed to suit most skin tones
