Holy Grail Foundation: Kat von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation

Hello!

I know I've raved about Kat Von D's Lock-It Tattoo Foundation before- when I reviewed a sample of it in this post- and it wasn't even the right shade for me. Sight unseen, I took a guess at what shade would match me (Light 44, btw) and got a wonderful friend in America to find it for me and bring it back to Australia with her. Why did I have to do that? It's near impossible to get here in Australia. Turns out, it was difficult to find in America, too. The foundation is sold out a lot of the time, and for good reason, too.

Review and Swatches: Kat von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation

Hello!

Today I'm reviewing the Lock-It Tattoo Foundation from the Kat Von D range at Sephora.

Here's the marketing spiel from Sephora:

"What it is:
 A high-pigment foundation for full coverage with a long-lasting, beautiful finish. 
What it does: 
Kat created this foundation to provide exceptional coverage, without compromising a smooth, striking finish. Formulated with 21 percent pigment, this powerful formula was developed to match a broad range of skintones with bold coverage—the proprietary pigments can even effectively cover tattoos. The combination of raw materials and the best siliconic elastomers and siliconic esters provide 24-hour wear with transfer resistance. Natural polymers absorb oil for a matte, soft finish and the added emollients provide a velvety texture for perfectly smooth, hydrated skin.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
-Parabens
-Synthetic fragrances"

The marketing is pretty much spot on. This foundation is strong enough to cover tattoos and any blemish/pigmentation/redness you may have.
