NEW YORK, April 19 ― Kat Von D is launching a new vegan mascara, and she has recruited actress Jackie Cruz to help.

The makeup mogul's “Kat Von D Beauty” brand has unveiled “Go Big or Go Home,” a volumising mascara featuring a plant-based blend of waxes from olive and sunflower oils in a completely vegan formula that promises not to smudge, flake or clump.

“Orange is the New Black” star Cruz is set to front the campaign for the new mascara, and will also be on hand to support its launch by making in-store appearances in the New York area today.
