Kim Kardashian Double Winged Liner ~ Sexy Nude Inspired Makeup


Hello there lovelies! It's my 28th birthday! I'm old I know :) Today I have the guts and urge to recreate one of my favorite makeup looks from Kim Kardashian. I was just browsing through some of her photos then all of a sudden I took my magic brushes and transformed myself..
just to perk up my day.

Today's look is inspired by this beautiful bombshell that was transformed by her glam quad.
How I wish I have my own glam squad as well. I only have myself. The only person I can depend on.


My favorite makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic usually spends more than 2 hours for Kim's makeup. Unlike Kourtney, more than 20 minutes is too long for her. Whereas for me I skipped all the contouring, bronzing and more illuminating parts so it just took me 30 minutes to finish this look. Kim wore this for her birthday dinner in Vegas. 2 hours of makeup is a bit acceptable. I just stayed in my house to it'll be a total waste of makeup and time if I glam it up more.


Here are the products I used in achieving this Sexy Nude look.

Face
Revlon Photoready Cream Foundation in Shell
Sugar Skull Cosmetics Concealer Palette
Diorskin Forever Compact by Christian Dior 020 Beige Eclair
Elizabeth Arden Powder Foundation
Maybelline mineral foundation as finishing veil

Eyes
Sugar Skull Cosmetics 88 Earth Palette
Christian Dior Fards A Paupieres (silver ones)
Diorshow Mascara in Noir
Christian Dior Mini Crayon Eyeliner in Noir
Etude House Code B gel eyeliner in Strong black
Glintz False eyelashes

Cheeks
Nars Orgasm and Laguna Duo
Etude House Crystal Tear Powder in Crystal Gold

Lips
Sugar Skull Cosmetics dark concealer
Mac Lipglass in C-thru


The combination of a dark peachy toned concealer and Mac's C-thru has resulted into this
gorgeous nude lip. It's beautiful but it still wouldn't beat the Mac Angel ~ Nars Turkish Delight combo which is Kim K's all time favorite.

 

You can also use the combo of Mac Shy girl and Mac C-thru.


You can also try this delicious smelling lip gloss from Candies.
The shade's name is Madeleine. Also Clinique Chubby Sticks were good. I've used mine a lot.


Since I only did it for 30 mins and I was just wearing a shirt I skip adding gold illuminators
for my decolletage. Here Kim has them which adds beauty to her tanned skin.


For shimmer and glitters I swear by my Etude House Tear Powder in Crystal Gold Tear.
It works everytime. I love it.


For the process on how Mario and Rob Scheppy turned her into a gorgeous glowing diva on her big day, here's the step by step picture. The whole beautifying process took 2 hours.

  

I'm not sure what arethose products used for the rest of her face, but the mascara looks like
L'oreal's Voluminous mascara in Carbon Black. For her lips I heard it's the combination of
Mac Lipstick in Ravishing and Mac Lipglass in Florabundance.

I always look forward for Kim's makeup on her birthday. It's always jaw dropping.



More Kim~Mario Collaborations


He even did Kim's makeup for her first wedding with Kris Humphries and her second wedding with Kanye West.

More of my fave nude looks from Kim

Admit it or not, we like her. She's one of the most searched in terms of beauty and fashion. First time I learned about Kim K was when when I was watching E! and she went to a salon to get a tan, but she wants gold particles airbrushed on her.Most receptionists from those salons said they don't have it and  they didn't even give her a second look coz she wasn't big that time, but I rooted for her after that coz she's really pretty.I even couldn't remember "Kardashian". Very middle eastern family name. This was her first photoshoot that I saw. 

Through an interview she was even defending herself that she comes
from a family with big boobs and big butts.


**yes after the britney addiction era, I'm a self confessed Kim K fanatic.**

But lately her signature look has changed. Aside from dyeing her hair blonde, she's going in for a vampy look..which is towards my direction..


Very Cherish. **evil laugh**

As for a good makeup remover, I couldn't tell you the best one, but I have a real-life makeup remover. I'm not kidding. yep he even pulled my lashes... in a painful way.


Just Kidding! Here's what I use to remove my makeup.
Clinique's Take the Day Off Makeup Remover.


Thanks for reading my post for today!
You can share your tips to achieve Kimmy's look too.
I need more mua and beauty addict friends!

Frozen Elsa Inspired Makeup


I've promised my 6 year old cousin that I will transform her into Elsa for a day.
Here she is, satisfied and her with how she looked that day. Just like young girls these days,
she loves Frozen. She sings "Do you want to build a snowman" and "Let it go" almost everyday. My 7 month old baby is somehow familiarized with its tune, he smiles 
whenever he hears her sing. 

Frozen has been the most successful 3D animation movie for children of all ages. Sometimes I get sick and tired of hearing people singing "let it go", let alone those posting their own covers on youtube.




I've watched it only until the middle of the story. I was too busy then.However I'm familiar with the characters and I can predict how it will end. I already know why the title is Frozen though I haven't finished it based on the series of events that have happened.

Though Anna is is quite known as Elsa's sister, Elsa has been the famous one. Just look at her eye makeup. They look fierce. Shimmery purple, pink, a bit of faint orange and thick eyeliner and thick eyelashes. I love it but I have no time to recreate it on my own eyelids.


So I just let my little cousin Jana have the time of her life as Elsa. She loves it and she looks really pretty.



Here are the makeups I used on her. She was so talkative the whole time! She keeps on asking me several things like "why do you have one million makeups?" "how long will it take for you to finish it? "what are you using on my eyes?" "why it's taking too long?" "Am I going to wear your false eyelashes?" and mooooorrre questions.. I just told her to stop talking coz I couldn't concentrate.

Face
Etude House Bright Fit BB Cream
F21 2-Way Powder Foundation

This Etude House Bright Fit BB Cream was bought by my husband when we went to Etude House in Greenbelt. He ran out of his BB cream (which was originally mine, the Shini Star)
coz when I found out what he was using on his face a year ago we were laughing about it.
It's Maxipeel Concealing Cream. Seriously?? hahaha who told you to use such???

Now here's my masterpiece for that day.
She's really happy.



and now here's her no filter, no enhancement selfie that I've found on my camera!


Now who among you loves Elsa? I suggest you guys should do it to young kiddos too and let them become a princess for a day. They love it, I'm sure they won't forget it.
xoxox

Speaking of kiddos, look what my husband bought for me that night..


A Monster High Pencil Case. He knows I love them.
Perfect for my eyeliners and mini brushes. :)

Long Hiatus!! May Updates and Work FOTDs

How are you lovelies? I've been out for a while, and I even forgot my blogger password!
Thanks God I've recovered it, after 1234567x attempts. I've been pretty busy lately balancing my time with my work, and with my new family. However I do enjoy being busy coz I've been idle for almost 2 years.It's nice to get back on track, put my make up and heels on, meet new people, and I do miss challenges.Though I left the house already glammed up, my work station has still been like this before starting the shift.


Bag: XOXO Shiny Black Vinyl Carved Hearts Bag
Makeups: Mac Heatherette Compact that contains my favorite powder.
Elf eyeshadow case that contains my two favorite smokey brown shades.
Elf compact that contaeins my favorite cream concealer
Revlon eyelash curler
Estee Lauder Voluminous Mascara
Clinique eyeshadow duo with powder blush kit
Dolce and Gabbana The One Desire Eau De Toilette

 I'm loving Mac's Russian Red for work. They're giving me compliments for it.
Both male and female co-workers were telling me that I rock the red lips,
and it matches my haircolor so well. Since I believe them, I always wear it.


 


I've had different FOTDs depending on my mood...
I wear bold red lipstick matched with cat eyes if I feel relaxed or If I get enough sleep.




Other than that I'm fine with a pinky coral lippie or I'm in for a
faux glow look. I have to fake that glow and conceal those eyebags.. haha.

I had it since high school as my signature scent, and I'm still keeping it and it really reminds me of  the old times. Nostalgic indeed.

It was a co-incident when we both found out we're wearing blue collared tees.
We had our selfie when our shift ended. He was laughing at my eyeshadow coz it's blue.
I always look funny for him, I don't know.. he always makes fun of me and laugh..
and when he laughs, it's the funniest laugh ever!

For my next blog post it's going to be really long and less pictures coz I'll be expressing my own opinion regarding "copycats" well it doesn't just apply to me. You'll find out soon.
I'm doing it for someone as well. 


I'll update you lovelies more often, and maybe do and recreate crazy makeup looks again.
Til next time! ^_^
