Kendo’s Kat Von D Beauty launches new black pencil eyeliner

Kendo brand Kat Von D Beauty has launched limited-edition black pencil eyeliner Basket Case.

Created in partnership with band Green Day’s lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, Basket Case features a built-in sharpener. The product is said to have been tested by Billie personally to ensure it can achieve his signature eyeliner style.

Billie Joe Armstrong said: “It’s really exciting to be what I think is the first male musician (or even male) to launch a black pencil eyeliner like this and in collaboration with Kat. Her products are amazing.”

Named after Green Day’s track from their 1994 album Dookie, the anti-precision eyeliner can also be used as a dark eyeshadow base.

The product will be available for a limited time in all US Sephora stores and on the brand’s website.

Launched in 2008, Kat Von D Beauty’s products specialise in long wear, high pigment and full coverage beauty products that are distributed in 31 countries across North America, Latin America, Europe, South East Asia, Australia, the Middle East, Scandinavia, the UK and Ireland. They are found exclusively at Sephora, Naimies, Debenhams and katvondbeauty.com.
