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!

Inspired Look: 2ne1's CL and Kat Von D

I did an inspired look of both icons that I love but not on myself. There are times that I want to apply makeup on my face but the camera and my face itself were not in the mood, and I couldn't do it well. Sigh..

I asked my two cousins if I can paint their face for a day. First look is inspired by 2ne1's baddest female and their Leader CL. The photo is from their photo shoot from the famous designer Jeremy Scott and the inspired look for my cousin Shane.

  

I couldn't remember some of the stuffs I used coz as far as I remember we did this point and

shoot thing around August or September of last year, but what I precisely remember is that there's supposed to be a lip tattoo very much similar to CL's, but when I applied it on Shane's lower lip it looked pretty bad, the horizontal lines didn't go well and looked too big, 

so I used a white eyeliner, white eyeshadow and black gel liner instead.

Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation

 Sugar Skull Cosmetics dark concealer

For Kim I tried to recreate and be inspired by what Kat Von D looked at 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. I've always been wanting to do a makeup look like hers but I failed to do so..Fortunately it looked good on my cousin, more importantly, her signature tattoo, the stars on her left temple.

G-Dragon of Big Bang's "Fantastic Baby" Music Video Inspired Lips

Last night I was just looking at the mirror feeling so bored and was about to wash my face,

 After a long day of teaching and listening to Korean songs, 

I still can hear Big Bang's single "Fantastic Baby" ringing in my head. 

Yeah it was my LSS. (Last Song Syndrome).

During my free time I tried to keep up with the latest music in South Korea,
and I watched a few music videos from both boy groups and girl groups.
Three of Big Bang's new songs really got me.
~Blue. Bad Boy. Fantastic Baby~
 I was never their fan but then suddenly I got so interested with their fashion and music.
 I watched the videos over and over again and
I added another few more hits to their MV's millions of view.

 

 

Big Bang's style used to be simple with an edge.
More likely influenced by American hip hoppers,
 if I'm not mistaken they are the Korean counterpart of those.
 They really are good when it comes to singing and rapping.
Whenever I ask my Korean students about their favorite Korean singer or group,
 hands down, it's always them.
Their infamous member T.O.P is the fiercest and smexxxxiest rapper~slash~actor of all.

For their new album for 2012 they have a very awesome concept.
 Big Bang has grown so much and has greatly improved as an artist and
they are now recognized as an icon.  Their style has changed a lot, and
I noticed that they are wearing too much makeup. Especially their leader G~Dragon.

GD (short for G-Dragon, real name Kwon Ji Yong 권지용 )
 is a recording artist, singer/dancer, songwriter, 2ne1's producer and a model.
 G~Dragon can be named as the male version of Lady Gaga, and he's considered as the most fashionable/stylish Kpop Icon.
He's fearless when it comes to gender bender fashion and
 colorful or even artistic makeups.

This is Big Bang's latest image. Icy Cold, futuristic and weird.
There's a reason behind their transformations but I don't know what is it all about.
Must ask a VIP. ^^

For Fantastic Baby's music video I noticed that G-Dragon is indeed a hottie.
Plus he reminds me of someone that I know that's why I try not to pay attention. :)
I only had my eyes on T.O.P.

  

 I see what you did there GD and your brown eyeshadow LOL ^^ I dig that!

This one freaks me out, I know he loves experimenting with his hairstyle and hair colors, 

but his hair is just.... freaky.

Seriously what's up with the bangs?

Maybe he's trying to be a modern day Gothic Rapunzel for this music video concept.

But still Fantastic.

 How cute this baby is!!

Going back to the time when I was staring at myself in the mirror,
 I really ship GD's lips so hard that I really have to recreate my own.
My dad was even watching me doing it and he's like,
"What the fuck are you doing to yourself??"

 

 

 It's not exactly what you see from GD's coz they said it's a feather pattern
and I really couldn't figure out what it is so I just try to make weird patterns that I don't know if it really resembles his lip art. I should've saved his photo in my smartphone but it was a sudden decision, I totally forgot, so I thoughtlessly drew patterns on my lips.
As long as it's white and black, It's fine.

I will be sharing with you the products that I used and it's so easy.
I won't be mentioning a specific brand coz it's just too basic and simple.

What you will need:
~ white eyeliner
~ white eyeshaow
~ black liquid eyeliner
~ a clear gloss

Tutorial:

 1. Line your outer lips with white eyeliner.

2. Work towards your inner lips, using white eyeliner as a base

3. Pat your lips with white eyeshadow.

4. Try to draw some patterns, it can be a feather, or whatever resembles it like what I did. :)

5. GD's lips are glossy so just dab some clear gloss on top, 

DON'T RUB! or else you'll rub it all off.

G~Dragon's.

 mine

Once again it's just inspired and recreated, I dunno how his MUA does that
and mine turned out to be like this, and I'm loving it. It looks like a lip tattoo.
I've never tried lip arts so I'm happy with the result of my mediocre take.
I'm pretty sure you guys will do better than me. Why not try it? :)

 

I really enjoy seeing feminine men wearing makeup,

but surely Ate Janis would be gagging herself while reading this.

She hates men wearing makeups and she makes fun of T.O.P. whenever

she sees him appearing on TV from the Korean drama Iris.

(yep it's currently airing in the Philippines)

Well, I really can't blame her. The first time I saw T.O.P I was like, 

"why the hell is he wearing eyeliner?" :)

You can watch their MV here:

That's all folks! It's still my LSS today and

I wanna jump and bounce to their song like this.

Same choreography! It's Seungri & T.O.P ^^
