Most people know Kat Von D Beauty’s liquid lipsticks for the Lolita and Lolita II shades, which have achieved cult status since launching.

One of the most beautiful reds I’ve ever used, this blue-based shade instantly lights up your complexion. This formula is also enriched with vitamin E to counter dryness so lips stay hydrated. Plus, its pencil format makes application a breeze so you can achieve unparalleled precision.
