The easiest way to satisfy an eyeliner addict is with a refill of their holy grail. For many that’s Kat Von D’s tattoo liner. Even better, the applicator is easy enough to use for the beauty beginners of the bunch. Bonus — all of Kat Von D’s products are vegan, so the animal lover in the bunch will appreciate the extra effort.
