Kat Von D Leaves Beauty Industry to Focus on Music Career – Loudwire

Kat Von D is leaving her makeup brand to fully dedicate herself to a music career. The tattooist and beauty icon has already dabbled in making music, but her debut studio album is set to be released this spring.

You may remember Kat Von D collaborating with Eagles of Death Metal, the 69 Eyes and IAM{X}* in the past, even recording her own original song, Vanish. Her beauty line has been extremely successful, but in a new Instagram post, Kat revealed shes selling off her portion of the company.

Von D writes:

This past year has been one of great change for me. As many of you know, I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, launched my vegan shoe line, and am now busy prepping to release my long awaited album in the Spring, followed by an international tour!

As much as I wish I could balance all of this, on top of continuing my makeup line, it has become clear to me that I just cant do everything at the maximum capacity. It's hard to admit this, since Ive always said You can do everything and anything. But I dont think admitting one's limits is a bad thing.

With that said, Ive decided to sell my shares of the brand, turning it over to Kendo, my partners for the past 11 years.

This was not an easy decision, but after careful consideration, I decided I wanted the makeup line to continue to thrive and grow, and I believe Kendo is primed to do just that.

The transition for you, my loyal customers, will be seamless. In order to avoid any confusion with such a big change, Kat Von D Beauty will take a moment to rebrand itself, so you will start noticing the change from KatVonD Beauty to KvD Vegan Beauty. I'd like to thank my beloved fans+followers who supported my vision to create a brand that stood for compassion, true artistry, and challenged modern ideals of beauty most of which I never could relate to. I was able to create a makeup line that made outsiders like me feel like we have a place in this beauty world, and gave myself and others the tools to express ourselves in our own unique way, whether it was embraced by the majority or not. And I just couldnt have done any of this without you!

Lastly, thank you for understanding+respecting my choice, as it was a difficult one to make, but one I am proud of regardless, and am confident that the team will continue the KvD legacy!

Heres to many, many more years of KvD Vegan Beauty!
