Hello lovelies, so if you follow me on twitter
(@emshelx) you’ll be aware that I am currently on my way to Belgium! I really
hope that I get the chance to grab some items so that I can do a Belgium Haul
post including lots of new products. If you read my blog you’ll have probably
guessed that I am quite obsessed with Kim kardashian’s make up. But, to be
honest, who isn’t. She always looks immaculate and this is my 3rd
post about her make up, this time though, it is more indepth with more research
as to what products she actually uses. Please note: NONE OF THESE ARE MY IMAGES, taken from Pinterest.
PREP
AND PRIME. Of course, every make up artists secret. I always
used to be like, waah primers are so expensive, what even is the point of them.
But recently, since using primers every single day, I’ve noticed such a
difference in my complexion. A primer is essential for perfect make up
application, don’t let anyone tell you any different. It evens your skin tone
and just makes your make up sit nicer, on a smoother base and it prevents it
sliding off. My favorite primers are Shu Uemura’s UV underbase, it’s around
£35.00 which is so steep, but it’s their best selling product, it really is
worth getting your hands on this if you can because it’s probably the best
primer I’ve ever used. I’d also recommend Mac Cosmetics prep and prime, this is
also gorgeous and it has a light shimmer to it, so it gives you a hint of Kim
Kardashian’s glowing complexion, this is only £18.00 which is quite cheap for
MAC. Recently, I’ve being using Wild About Beauty’s botanical skin prep primer
and Urban Decay’s primer – these are both quite similar to Macs, but they
contain better ingredients, so no nasty things are going on your skin.
Basically, just make sure that you use a primer for perfect make up application.
I’ve read that Kim’s make up artist uses La Mer: The Radiant Serum –
unfortunately, for us normal people over £200 is a little bit too much to spend
on your face.
HIGHLIGHTING
– Aaah ever really looked at Kims cheeks and
thought wow, they look so much more defined than mine. Yep, me too. I’ve read
numerous times that Kim Kardashian’s make up artist swears by using
highlighters. The highlighters that I would recommend to create the same look
would have to be Benefit’s High Beam, if you haven’t ever used this product, I
promise it will give you that wide-eyed-bushy-tailed look that Kim Always seems
to have. It’s perfect for accentuating the cheek bones and adding a healthy
glow to the skin. This is around £25 from what I can remember, but my pot
literally lasted me years, it’s only just run out. I have seen dupes of this in
cheap make up shops such as Bodycare in the UK, pretty much the exact same
highlighter for under £5.00. Something which I would highly recommend though is
Nourish’s Body Souffle – This has become one of my favorite products lately,
however, it was only when I read a review the other day on someone elses blog
that I learnt that this product can be used as a face primer or a face
highlighter. Much like Benefit’s sunbeam, which is something that I’ve wanted
to try for ages. This primer, come highlighter come body soufflé can literally
be used for everything. It reflects the particles in your skin for a flawless
finish, I absolutely love what it does to my legs, it coats them with a
beautiful colour and almost makes it look like you have skin tights on (that’s
how perfect this product makes your skin look). This is just over £25 from what
I remember, but the pot is huge and can be used in a number of ways. Put this
on your cheek bones before foundation application and I promise that you will
soon have Kim Kardashian’s Golden glow.
CONTOURING
and CONCEALING – L’oreal Lumi Maqigue – Yes, I rave about
this product on a daily basis, although it runs out really quickly, I think
it’s the perfect pen for doing the contouring that Kim Kardashian does on her
face. Or, if you fancy spending a bit more money, try YSL’s touché éclat, I
personally think that Loreal’s Lumi Magique is exactly the same product at half
the price but I will let you decide that. I literally layer this product under
my eyes and again, on my cheek bones. It’s so easy to apply, and if you apply
it the sameway that Kim does to contour, it should perfectly define your best
features. This pen can be used as a highlighter as well. I’ve read that Kim
uses Make Up Forever’s camouflage palette, which I need to get my hands on, but
unfortunately it is only used in the UK. I’ve also read on Kim’s personal blog
that she uses Cle De Peau’s concealer stick (which I don’t think is available
in the UK) but similar concealers can be found at Bobbi Brown or Mac Cosmetics.
Not that Kim has any spots to conceal. Pft!
FOUNDATION
- I’ve read before that Kim uses MAKE UP FOREVER’s
HD foundation – I actually wore this last night for the first time in ages and
now I remember why I love it so much. At first, it seems really sticky and oily
when it’s on your face, but, once you let it dry, it goes really nice and
matte. I bought this when I was in Paris and only bought it after watching a
Youtube video with Kim’s make up artist who said that he uses this foundation
on her. It really does give you a HD finish. Similar foundations which I would
recommend for the heavy matte look are Mac cosmetics studio fix, I wear shade
NC35 as it has yellow undertones, rather than the NW colours which are pink
undertones. Estee Lauders double wear is quite similar to both of the
foundations, but it is a bit too heavy for me. I like Mac because it is
buildable coverage.
POWDER
– In order to get a real matte finish, powder is a
necessity. It’s my pet hate when people don’t wear powder, it just means that
your foundation will go sticky and look oily. I personally use Mac’s mineralize
skin finish in colour medium to dark. Kim said on her personal blog that she
uses MAC cosmetics Select Sheer Pressed Powder in NC30 and then brushes MAC’s
powder in NW45 over the top for a tan.
BRONZER/BLUSHER–
Kim always seems to have really bronzed cheeks, I
have read that once again, her make up artist uses Make up Forever. However, on
Kim’s own blog she said that she uses Smashbox bronzer; ‘Bronze lights’ in the
suntan matte shade. I want to buy this now I’ve seen that she apparently wears
it. I’ve read that she uses cream blush in a pink colour called ‘Cheek’ for a
rosey look. MAC sell cream blushes which are really good to recreate Kim Kardashian’s
luminious cheek looks.
EYES - On Kim’s personal blog she discusses her favorite colours for a
smokey look, she said she uses ‘carbon’ by MAC if it’s a black smokey look, but
‘Knight Divine’ or ‘Print’ if it’s a grey smokey eye. If it’s a brown smokey eye
she will use ‘Embark’ by MAC. I think these colours are pretty easy to get from
most places, I’d recommend Urban Decays naked palette for all of the colours in
one palette, or for a cheaper alternative try MUA. Kim Kardashian apparently
uses Mac’s Zoom Lash mascara for long eye lashes, which I can believe, as I
also use this because it is incredible. I’ve also read that she uses Lancome’s
Hypnose, which is easily just as good – but more expaensive. She said that she
puts MAC’s Zoom Lash on first and then Lancome on top. I’m guessing that she
wears lashes though, I’d recommend ‘Girls with Attitude; who do incredible
lashes or Shu Uemera for a more expensive pair (Cheryl Cole wears these eye
lashes apparently!).
LIPS: Kim’s lips are usually neutral, I’d recommend mac’s lipstick in ‘myth’
their best seller as it is perfectly nude. I’ve read that she actually wears
Nars ‘belle de jour’ but lines her lips first with MAC Subculture lipliner.
