\"As much as I wish I could balance all of this, on top of continuing my makeup line, it has become clear to me that I just can't do everything at the maximum capacity,\" she said.

While Von D plans to step down from her cosmetics company, it will live on with Kendo and re-brand under the name KvD Vegan Beauty.

KatVonD Beauty launched in 2008 with four red lipsticks. Since then, the vegan and cruelty-free company has released hundreds of products that include several times like mascara and fragrance.

On the brand's website, it also noted that the company has grown to 36 countries and won more than 60 awards globally.

In her heartfelt post, she concludes by thanking her fans and followers.

\"I was able to create a makeup line that made outsiders like me feel like we have a place in this 'beauty' world, and gave myself and others the tools to express ourselves in our own unique way, whether it was embraced by the majority or not. And I just couldn't have done any of this without you!\"
