Closer Look: New Katy Kat Pearl Collection + Swatches
A couple weeks ago, I shared with you the news about Katy Perry’s latest collaboration with Covergirl— the expansion of her Katy Kat line into Katy Kat Pearl. With a new mix of eye, face and lip products that will have you jumping in headfirst for spring!
I got my hands on just a few of the products, though you can see what else is new in my first post about the launch. The new products are glow-tastic with shimmery, shift-y finishes and even more pops of color to reflect Katy’s style. Keep reading for a closer look at the collection to get a feel for the new line.
One of the products I was most excited for was the Katy Kat Pearl Shadow + Highlighter. This is a mousse/cream product that is extremely soft to the touch and can be used for adding glow anywhere on the face, whether it be strobing on the cheeks or a highlight on the inner corner. This shade is called Tiger’s Eye, which is a champagne gold that will look great across skin tones. There is also a rose gold shade available.
Joining the Katy Kat Eye Mascara is the new Katy Kat Eyeliner which comes in two bold shades. This one is in Purrmaid, which is a pearl green to add a soft pop to any look. The liner is incredibly soft and blends out really easily if you want to do a smoky green look. This one will come in super handy this month for St. Patty’s Day! There is also a white pearly shade available.
Finally, they are adding 4 new lipsticks to the collection in the pearl finish. The ones I have are Apricat and REDdy to Pounce.
Apricat is, as you may have guessed, a nude apricot shade that is fantastic for a subtle look, though still has a beautiful golden glow when it catches the light. REDdy to Pounce is an orange-red that is perfect for Spring and Summer that also has an underlying gold shift to it. The lipsticks have good pigmentation with just two to three swipes to cover the lips, and are incredibly moisturizing. I’m not a fan of the taste— most likely caused by the fragrance— which is a bit waxy.
You can find most of the new Katy Kat Pearl products at Ulta Beauty. Heads up: this is a limited edition collection so pick up anything that KAT-ches your eye ASAP!
