Pregnancy safe beauty products can be super difficult and confusing. I have an entire guide devoted to what products are safe to use while pregnant including information on what ingredients to avoid while pregnant and a huge list of pregnancy safe skincare products. The list has gotten so large that I’ve decided to start listing brands in their own individual posts.
Here you’ll find pregnancy safe makeup from Kat Von D as of 11/22/2021. If it is not safe, I’ll tell you why. All of the products meet my pregnancy safe criteria. If they release a new product that is not listed here, please comment below and I will add it. Note I will link to every product directly to avoid confusion. You’ll know exactly which product I mean.

I’m a doctor, a mommy and a bit of a beauty addict. If you let me, I can take 2 hours to get ready in the morning. Really. I'm on a quest for faster beauty that works!

They’re powders so you don’t need to worry about them. Please refer to the post above, there’s a paragraph with a link about pregnancy safe makeup and which products you need to worry about.
Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I was wondering, for the lipsticks mentioned if no specific shade is mentioned, does this mean that all the shades in the product line are ok? For example, all the shades in the everlasting liquid lipstick line?
Yes! I review all of the shades and if there are issues with specific shade I’ll call them out.

Thank you so much Dr! I am so happy I found your page, I’ve been a skincare/makeup junkie so looking into all my products 🙂
Dear Doctor,

KVD Lock-it foundation shade 45 Light Warm:
Dimethicone, Aqua/Water/Eau, Phenyl Trimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Peg/Ppg-18/18 Dimethicone, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Butylene Glycol, Isononyl Isononanoate, Silica Dimethicone Silylate, Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Isododecane, Glycerin, Sodium Chloride, Methicone, Polysilicone-11, Glyceryl Caprylate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Trihydroxystearin, Calcium Carbonate, Potassium Sorbate, Methylpropanediol, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Disodium Edta.

This is already in the list under pregnancy safe
Hi..
I have to ask, you say the serum foundation’s already on the safe list, but I can only find the balm. Don’t know if I’m blind 😅 Is it the same ingredients?
It’s right above the balm, where it has the full name of the good apple serum foundation.
Curious about Lock-it powder foundation? 😊 Thanks!
This is a powder, which you don’t need to worry about and therefore I do not review. Please refer to this post: Pregnancy Safe Makeup Post.
is Kat Von D’s tattoo eye liner safe to use in pregnancy/breastfeeding?
Ingredients
Water, Ammonium Styrene/Acrylates Copolymer, Butylene Glycol, Alcohol, Beheneth-30, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/Octylacrylamide Copolymer, Methylparaben, Polyglyceryl-3 Disiloxane Dimethicone, Propylparaben, Sodium Hydroxide, Disodium EDTA, Black 2 (CI 77266) (Nano)
This is an eye liner, which you don’t need to worry about and therefore I do not review. Please refer to this post: Pregnancy Safe Makeup Post.
Hello! I know this list was last verified in 2021 and the company has done some rebranding since then (I believe it was after 2021 but I could be wrong) so I wanted to double check this product. I also ask because I noticed the ingredients list on the site says Raspberry stem cells and some of the products deemed not pregnancy safe that you listed mention stem cells.
Queen of Poisons:
Raspberry stem cells
Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Trisiloxane, Isododecane, Mica, Cera Microcristallina/Microcrystalline Wax/Cire Microcristalline, Isononyl Isononanoate, Cetyl Dimethicone, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Disteardimonium Hectorite, Illite, Alcohol Denat., C30-45 Alkyl Dimethicone, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Ethyl Vanillin, Laureth-4, Aqua/Water/Eau, Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Leaf Extract, BHT, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492), Red 28 Lake (CI 45410), Blue 1 Lake (CI 42090).
They didn’t have stem cells before. Though of note, they have “Rubus Idaeus (Raspberry) Leaf Extract” rather than a callus extract in the ingredients, and as far as I’m aware those are actually different processes and generally this wording is NOT stem cells. Though they’re calling it out as one? I don’t know. I would probably avoid then.
Thank you! I had used it a couple of times and something told me to double check. I’ll keep it aside for after pregnancy.
I had an after pregnancy box also!

Thank you!
