Makeup lovers who enjoy bold eye looks are likely to appreciate the 'Divine Palette' from Kat Von D.
The 8-shade palette comes with a range of dark hues of gray and black, and light hues that are great for highlighting like cream, stark white, and sparkle-heavy silver. In addition to these shades, the palette comes with a sparkling electric blue, a lighter sky blue, and a neon green. This combination is said to have been inspired by Divine, an iconic drag queen best known for her work in 'Pink Flamingos,' 'Female Trouble,' and 'Hairspray.' To further honor the late icon, Kat Von D features her eyes on the front of the palette.
Although an official release date has not been given as of yet, Kat Von D has already started showing off the palette on social media channels.
