Even though I don't really approve of the Kim Kardashian's choices of living I cannot deny that she is beautiful with makeup! That's why I did a little bit of a research and found this in her website and I am quoting everything however you will see my comments because I did a little research on the market as well:) As to understand which brand is good and how much is it..
Here we go...
- A MAKEUP LESSON FROM KIM KARDASHIAN
Just so everyone knows, my make up artist Stephen Moleski has pretty much taught me everything I know.
Remember that everyone's color is different so please ask someone at the store where you purchase your makeup what works for you. Even if you think we have the same skin coloring, our tones can be different and I don't want anyone to waste money on concealer or foundation colors that aren't absolutely perfect!
STEP 1: I always start with a clean face. Then I put on Intuit 'Photo Shoot.' Intuit is a great company and I love the names of their products. Photo Shoot is a make up primer. I put it on after my moisturizer, which basically is like a moisturizer that will fill the pours on your face which will help set the foundation so it will last longer.
(i use Elizabeth Arden's makeup primer which is £30 and I love it very much.It really makes your face smooth and foundation goes evenly and as a moisturizer I prefer Bioderm it is so freaking good.!)
STEP 2: I use Cle De Peau concealer stick (it's super expensive, but works for me). It comes in two colors, I use Ocre, which is the darker of the two. I also use M.A.C. concealer (which comes in a little pot) if I run out of Cle de Peau. Everyone's color is different but I use NW25. I put the concealer under my eyes because I absolutely hate dark circles! I also use concealer to cover up blemishes!
(oh my, Cle De Peau is just so expensive it is around £65 and hard to find so I bought MAC one as a concealer i also use MAC but mine is liquid believe me its way better NW25. I use it before putting foundation so foundation does her job even better :)
STEP 3: After I put the concealer on I put on Make Up Forever liquid foundation. I mix one pump of No. 5 and two pumps of No. 4. I also have No. 3 for the winter time when I am really pale. I mix the foundations to get the perfect color. I blend them with the coolest make up brush. Its the M.A.C. brush No. 180.
(I use mac again it is called satin finish foundation NC40 i am a little bit lighter than her so it goes good with my skin MAC's studio fix one is too obvious for me it looks so not natural. MAC doesn't have 180 they either have 187 or 190 for liquid get the 187 one)
STEP 4: Since I hate dark circles, after the foundation, I put on a little more concealer just under my eyes since the foundation makes it darker under my eyes. I use a lighter concealer from M.A.C. NW30 in a little lipstick tube-looking container and I select 'moisture cover.'
(this NW30 is too dark for me I use NC35 its also in a little lipstick tube)
STEP 5: To set the foundation I lightly brush on with a big powder brushM.A.C. Select Sheer Pressed Powder NC 30, then to make me a little tanner I lightly brush on M.A.C. Powder NW 45.
(I use the same powder but I don't the powder is necessary really)
STEP 6: Now its blush time! I'm obsessed with blush! I use a color calledGingerly to warm me up and give me a little color and then add a pink color called Cheek to give me rosey cheeks. I just started getting into cream blush and find it works a lot better and lasts a lost longer.
(I use again MAC's true glace its shimmering and it shines really good it gives you a bronze color i love it)
STEP 7: Time for the eyes! My favorite part! I first put down a M.A.C. Paintpot in a light color that matches my skin called Painterly. I just use my finder and put enough onto cover the lid. This creamy shadow makes it so that the powder eye shadow does not crease. Like, if you wear make up all day you will see that the eye shadow begins to crease and get oily, but if you put this paint color down first it won't! I love cream shadow and use the color cream pots too! I love colored shadow; so it depends on the color depend of shadow I plan to wear: If it's black smokey I use Carbon by M.A.C.; if its grey smokey I use Knight Divine or Print; if it's bown smokey I use Embark by M.A.C. I love a fresh shimmery look as well and use M.A.C. Pigment calledTan. Its so pretty! I love bright colors for eye make up! I absolutely love Make Up Forever and don't think anyone does pigment colors better than them. So again, depending on what color you feel like wearing, go look at Make Up Forever's colors to choose from.
(definitely use a paintpot it gives a long lasting effect, nothing to comment on here other than that hmmm lastly I dont really use black I also have carbon but it's not very good most of the time I mix Brun and Brown Down and I put a little bit Honesty on the tops it looks really good trust me, I also have tan and I think it is way too shimmery and hard to use)
STEP 8: I always use black pencil eyeliner. My favorite is Stilla black pencil.
(black pencil eyeliner is good i use Chanel or Christian Dior but Chanel's pencil is AMAZING
STEP 9: Now its mascara time! Putting on mascara completes the look, but I have it when I mess up and get it on my eye lid and mess up the eye shadow. I used to use Lancome Hypnose, and still do, but I recently started to use M.A.C. Zoom mascara -- which is amazing! I take my time and put coat after coat. I love to layer mascaras so I will probably start with the M.A.C. Zoom and then put Lancome Hypnose on top. I always use a seperator brush to seperate my lashes. I am completely clueless on how to put false lashes on, so I only wear them for photo shoots sometimes.
(without separator brush all mascaras are bad believe me I tried every type it didn't work for me till I get a seperator brush you can find it everywhere I bought mine in Boots for £12 I use L'Oreal's Voluminiser it is pretty good, Definitely for the carbon black eye lovers.)
STEP 10: The final touch is putting on lipstick! I usually use M.A.C. Liplinercalled Stripdown (I use it very lightly) and a lipstick called Angel and putNars Turkish Delight lipgloss on top. Or for my very nude matte lip I wearNars Belle De Jour and I line my lips first with M.A.C. Subculture lipliner.
(I don't use lipliner but MAC's sculpture is good, I totally love NARS Belle De Jour its the best thing ever!!! Angel is also good from MAC
Hope you enjoy it and will be helpful to you guys:) Any questions???
That completes the Kim Kardashian make up lesson!
