What does KVD stand for in KVD Beauty?

The brand was originally founded by famous tattoo artist Kat Von D in 2008 as Kat Von D Beauty. However, when Kat Von D left the company in 2020, the brand was officially rebranded simply as KVD Beauty. The new name retains the iconic initials but emphasizes the brand's independent, vegan-first identity.

Are all KVD Beauty products vegan and cruelty-free?

Yes, every single product manufactured by KVD Beauty is 100% vegan and certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny. The brand reformulated its entire lineup to remove all animal-derived ingredients long before it became an industry standard. This commitment ensures that none of their highlighters, lipsticks, or foundations are ever tested on animals.

What is KVD Beauty's most famous makeup product?

The brand is most renowned for its Tattoo Liquid Liner, which features an incredibly precise brush tip for sharp, bold wings. They are also highly famous for their full-coverage Good Apple Foundation and their long-lasting Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks. These products solidified KVD's reputation for high-pigment, long-wear formulas.

Who owns KVD Beauty after Kat Von D left?

Following Kat Von D's departure, the brand is currently owned by Kendo Brands, a subsidiary of the French luxury conglomerate LVMH. Kendo operates several other major beauty brands, including Fenty Beauty and Ole Henriksen. Under Kendo, KVD Beauty shifted its focus heavily toward sustainable, high-performance clean ingredients.
