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!

Keeping Up With The Makeup Of Kardashians/Jenners

Love them? or hate them? You can only have two relationships with this family,
Love or Hate. They've been around for a long time, and the number one most searched family name on search engines and their reality shows have been awarded a few times.


I know there are haters but I really don't understand why they have to say something bad to those people who like and appreciate their reality show. We have different taste and different preference, it's really all about respect and not trying to be rude and offensive.


The advantage of watching them is that you get to see the latest trends in fashion, lifestyle, and new array/range of makeup palettes in America. Their family is always ahead when it comes to the trend: makeup-wise and fashion-wise. They've got the best makeup artists that can do new tricks in color matching and new rules in color blocking, gone are the days of bad blending and bad color matching. Well, who wouldn't love their wardrobes, designer shoes and for me, their makeups? I bet you wouldn't appreciate it if you're not a real makeup junkie.
  
I've watched seasons 3 to 6, including other separate shows from Kourtney and Khloe, Kourtney and Kim, Lamar and Khloe, Kim's fairytale wedding, but I'm really wishing Kendall and Kylie would have their own. The Jenner Sisters are really goooorrrgeeeooouussss!!!
I used to watch the show because of Kim. She used to be my favorite. I love the fact the she knows what to put on together to coordinate her looks, outfit and accessories. FYI Kim used to work as a stylist for Brandy and some famous Hollywood celebrities.


But now her facial features are getting sharper and her preference for clothes are getting too mature. Her mature choice of clothes and her face always changes.. (I guess we have to blame her age and **cough** I'm sure you all get what it is...) now made me think I don't like her that much anymore. Now I watch the show because of the Jenner sisters. They are young and prefers chic clothing to rock star inspired fashion.


 As of now I'm getting obsessed with their house. Yes, you read it correctly, I love looking at Jenner's House. It's simple yet elegant. It's black and white, yet very polished and classy.


The trademark of the Kardashians/Jenners when it comes to makeup is their long luscious spidery eyelashes, smokey eyes, heavily contoured cheeks (except for Kendall and Kylie),
or coral lips for Khloe, red lips for Kourtney and nude lips for Kim.

Also, they love dark nail polish and their hair is always voluminous and long parted in the middle, usually curled that opens up their face. Well, aside from wearing hair extensions if you couldn't let your hair grow, here are some of their favorite makeup products, and dupes to save money, which I myself used and searched. Of course I wouldn't look like them in the first place, and colors will turn out differently since I'm NW20 for Mac, Kardashians are NC35 and darker.

I've compiled the makeups they use and their favorites. I've also provided the tried and tested dupes for those who couldn't afford their high end counterparts.



Kim Kardashian's Makeup

I love the old Kim. She really looks different now, idk.. She loves L'oreal Volumious Carbon Black Mascarawhich is cheaper compared to other mascaras out there. For designer ones, she swears by Lancome Hypnose.

She also swears by Makeup Forever High Definition foundation blended with Mac 180 brush. It's often used by her makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic on her. If you're out of budget, try Revlon Photoready liquid foundation.

Sometimes she uses Nars Orgasm blush and Nars Laguna bronzer for contouring.
Try Elf Blush and Contour. Many are saying it's the dupe of Orgasm and Laguna. More Nars orgasm dupes include Nyx pinched, Elf Twinkle pink and Mary Kay Shy blush.

For her signature pinky nude lips that mateches her tanned skin, she loves the combination of Mac Stripdown lip liner, Mac Angel Lipstick mixed with Nars Turkish Delight Lip gloss.


Before I finally got these Mac lippie and Nars lipgloss I tried different and cheaper dupes.
try Revlon Pink Pout mixed with Styli Style lipgloss in Flirty. Beautiful combo.

on my lips:

Wet n' Wild Megalast lipstick in 901C Think Pink is a good Angel dupe as well, then top it off with Victoria's Secret Lipgloss in Pink.



Khloe Kardashian's Makeup

I've found out that Kim and Khloe both love Revlon's Soft Nude Lipstick.
I bought it and it's really a faint peachy type of nude that won't wash you out.
Depending on your lips' pigmentation, this shade flatters every skin tone, yes even those with fair complexion.

Revlon Soft Nude on my lips


I heard Kim's also wore it for her 30th Birthday


Khloe loves coral lips. Somertimes she wears peach, or pinky peach lippies. I still have no idea what's Khloe's favorite brand but her makeup artist Joyce Bonelli revealed what she used for Khloe's lips for People's Choice Award.

It's Smashbox Double Take Lipcolor in Gossamer
topped with Nars Turkish Delight

Kourtney Kardashian's Makeup

She prefers red lips more than corals and nudes.
She uses Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture in 13: Le Orange.


For an orange red lipstick, the best pic would be Mac Lady Danger.
Kendall doesn't wear much makeup, so I have no idea what she particularly likes.
She's naturally beautiful. Kylie is still young but she really loves to wear makeup.
She loves eyeliners.


I saw this picture and she got Stila Kajal Convertible eyeliner,
I bet it's in Onyx as her elder sister Kim prefers this one, but not the convertible one. According to Stylebistro she uses the Stila Smudge pot too,maybe for upper eyelids.



Kris Jenner's Makeup:

She loves smokey eyes and nude lips makeup.
According to their makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic,
he uses Mac Carbon for the Kardashian's smokey eyes.
Nyx Black eyeshadow is the perfect dupe for Carbon.


Aside from their collaboration with Nicole by OPI for their own nailpolish line, they swear by OPI Nail Polish in Lincoln Park After Dark. It's not black, it's a dark purple that exudes sexy goth.

Kourtney's

 Kris'
Khloe's

Kim's
That is such a HUUUGEE AASSS engagement ring and I swear I'll do the same thing if I have it which is to flaunt it, but I would never want such ring bigger than my eyeball.
 It's either I'll clumsily lose the rock or I will accidentally scratch myself with it.

I guess by now you are aware why they are strongly influential among women and ladies, and very much appealing among men.  So high maintenance but definitely beautiful.

While I was having a Keeping Up with the Kardashians marathon in the office I tried to recreate one of Kim's look way back in 2007. It's the smokey eyes with long lashes
paired with pinky nude lips.



Products Used

Eyes:
Elf eyelid primer and Eyeliner Sealer
Nyx Black eyeshadow
Nyx Smokey Look Kit
Etude House Code B Gel eyeliner in Strong Black
Christian Dior Crayon Eyeliner in 090 Noir/Black

This is not a paid advertisement from Wet n' Wild, Revlon, Nyx, or any other cosmetic companies that are mentioned. It just happened that I have those since I looked for cheaper dupes. Feeling good and looking good does not necessarily mean using and buying expensive stuffs, there are cheaper alternatives that really does the trick, but of course if you're part of Big Mama Kris' empire and you're raking in billions of cash,  I'm sure you'll spend it thoughtlessly.
