Pro Program members will also play an active role in helping make artistry cruelty-free: with every Pro order, Kat Von D Beauty will donate to an animal rights charity. In 2018, Kat has selected Mercy For Animals as charity of choice. Mercy For Animals, a cause close to Kat's heart, is an international non-profit animal advocacy organization dedicated to preventing cruelty to farmed animals and promoting compassionate food choices and policies.

"I've learned so much from them (Mercy for Animals) about how awesome and important becoming vegan is—for the animals, for humanity, and for the planet! The delivery of the message is smart, informative, honest, direct, and easy to follow. It speaks not only to the vegan community, but more importantly, to the non-vegan world." – Kat Von D

All details along with application criteria will be available on https://www.katvondbeauty.com/pro-program on March 1, 2018.  Join the conversation by tagging @katvondbeauty and #katvondbeautypro.
