How To Get Kim Kardashian’s Red Carpet Makeup

1 Mar

TV Starlet Kim Kardashian is known and loved for her flawless and beautiful makeup.  By popular request, we have enlisted the expertise of Professional Makeup Artist Naomi Lynn, to recreate Kim’s gorgeous makeup look.  All products suggested by Naomi are from MAC, unless stated otherwise.

Eyes

Start by priming the eyes with MAC Paints in Bare Canvas. Although it is considered an eyeshadow, it wears well as a primer because of its powdery finish and crease-free formula. For best application, use a 252 (large shadow brush).

Next, using a 224 brush (blending brush), create a natural crease using Soft Brown eyeshadow. Then, take your 242 brush (small shadow brush) & lightly apply Orb eyeshadow on the inner lid. For a natural highlight, using the same brush, bring Orb into the inner tear duct.

We all know that Kim Kardashian loves a smokin’ smokey eye, so using a mid-tone brown, like Folie eyeshadow as your bottom liner really gives the eyes that soft, sultry look Kim is known for. For best application, use a 219 brush.

This look is the perfect example of how to combine a classic eye and a smokey eye and make them a ultra sexy, yet classy everyday look.

Alas, the star of the show (as usual) her lashes! Kim Kardashian’s 2nd claim to fame, those sexy thick, plush, lashes! Pair the Luxe-1 lashes (by Lash Royalty) with a rich, black liner such as Smolder Eye Kohl for the ultimate eye-catching look.

Complexion

What better way to “Prep and Prime” the skin than with Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder. This powder is sure to have you looking picture purrrfect in no time. Its claim to fame is reducing redness or blochiness, minimizing the appearance of pores and leaving the skin looking and feeling silky and, its suitable for all skin types. For best application apply with a 187 brush. Next, using a 190 brush apply Studio Sculpt foundation for camera ready skin. A medium buildable coverage foundation with a satin finish and its water resistant. Its long-wearing formula keeps you looking fresh faced and runway ready at anytime!

Blush Bronzer

On the outer perimeters of the face apply Refined Golden bronzer. For a touch of colour use Gingerly blush on the apples of the cheek.

Lips

As we know, Kim Kardashian put “the perfect nude lip” on the map! Her favorite nude lip consists of Stripdown lip linerand Angel lipstick. By combining the brown, nude liner such as Stripdown with a frosty, pink lipstick, on her skin, gives the perfect nude lip. For a touch of sass apply Prr lipglass to the center of the lips.

With Love,

Naomi Lynn
