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.
Don’t See Your Product? Read This Before You Ask About It…
Please read the Pregnancy Beauty Guide intro first, where you will learn which products you actually need to worry about (spoiler alert, you don’t need to worry about all makeup or hair products). I will not review products that fall into the “don’t worry about it” categories. If you want to ask about a specific product, I require that you follow these guidelines for asking about pregnancy/nursing safety. You can also learn more about how to use these pregnancy safety lists. I will delete questions that don’t follow the guidelines or are rude.

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.

Dear Doctor,
If I’m not mistaken, the KVD Lock-it foundation’s ingredients change from shade to shade. Could you, please, confirm that the following ingredients are pregnancy safe. Thank you!
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. May Contain/Peut Contenir (+/-): Iron Oxides (Ci 77491, Ci 77492, Ci 77499), Titanium Dioxide (Ci 77891).
They change just a bit, but I look through all of the shades for things like foundation, concealer and lip products before putting it on the list.
