Kim Kardashian Style Make Up

27 Aug

Kim Kardashian Is one of my all time ‘Girl Crushes’, I love her fine ass body and of course her beautiful hair & make up.

Here i re-create her sexy Arabian look but ramped it up a little for clubbing/parties & proms.

1. After applying your foundation and setting powder, use a deep bronzer to thin out your Jawline. I used the darkest shade of Collection 2000 Shimmer Shades block in #1″ Way to Glow”.

2. Use a highlighter to sweep up your temples and down onto your cheeks, just above the contouring of the jawline. I used Vanilla pigment by MAC.

3. Time for the eyes! Start with an eye primer to set your eyeshadow and stop it from falling. ELF’s studio primer is a great cheap alternative to Urban Decay & Lancome etc.

4. Use a highlighter to highlight your brow bone, this shade needs to be super white, so i used my Vanilla pigment again.

5. Sweep across a mid gray over the rest of your lid in a angular motion, I used shade 72 “Amazing Gray” by Estee Lauder, take this same gray and sweep it on your lash line under your eye from inside to outside corner.

6. Apply a white eyeshadow or eyeliner to the lid, and apply glitter (make sure to put something sticky there first! :P) The easiest way i found was to use Barry M fine glitter dust in #4 (Silver/White) with some eyelash glue underneath.

7. Cut the crease of this and really define the glitter by using the darkest black eyeshadow – Boujois intense 10 Eyeshadow in Black is super dark and blends easily. Make sure to blend this black into the highlight/gray slightly but NOT into the glitter.

8. Line your eye in a cat eye shape, flicking up & outwards on the outside corners of your lashline. Also use a eyeliner pencil on your bottom lashline to line your waterline.

9. Stick some eyelashes on, and add mascara to blend (Or just use mascara.

10. Use liquid eyeliner on the inside corners of your eye, just to create the arabian eye look, by outlining the inside corner.

Use a neutral lip colour to finish (I used myth by MAC), and ta da! 😉

Enjoy!

Festive make up ideas.

22 Dec

At Christmas, we want more than just the food, we want to look & feel fabulous, but sometimes it’s difficult to know when to stop, or when to start when it comes to festive make up ideas. The truth is, a little tweak here and there can completely change you’re look, for example, a new lip shade, a bigger ‘flick’ to your eyeliner, or just a different shade blush. To help you, these three different looks should be something for every festive female out there.

Coppery Eyes

Were you always charmed by the fabulous red carpet looks of Blake Lively, then sure you remember this one that illustrates the high street allure radiated by copper. Indeed this metallic tone turned to be the ‘it’ hue of the season both when it comes of fashion as well as makeup styles. Tint your lids with this fab shade to make your glimpse even more seductive and appealing. In order to achieve the desired and overwhelming effect top the copper eye makeup with brown lipstick or gloss that would give a kissable and sight-pleasing impression to your lips.

Gold Eye Makeup and Red Lips

In quest for the most flattering and romantic makeup, make sure you take a closer look at the red carpet moments of Burlesque-fan Christina Aguilera who knows how to rock out the red lips and golden eye makeup trend. This fabulous combo will definitely attract immediate attention thanks to the glittery glamorous visual effect. Turn yourself into a real diva by appealing to the latest beauty formulas and makeup palettes that have all the tones that would help you create a similar look. Add a more sexy and appealing allure to your lips by tinting them with blood red lipstick in the old tradition of Hollywood and old time chic.

Cat Eye Makeup and Nude Lips

Kim Kardashian is a real diva and knows how to combine the natural looking makeup trend with the red-carpet worth effects. In this case matching up the charming cat eyes with nude lips proved to be a blissful option to mark her entree to the festive event. If you’re fond of a similar combo make sure you learn the art of creating the most flattering cat eyes with the use of a high class eyeliner. Pair the right design with your eyes shape and make sure you keep your look neat and refined. Additionally you can add the perfect pouch to your makeup in the form of nude lipstick or gloss. These are indeed some of the most inspiring and popular ideas to embrace when preparing for a romantic date or event.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
