Kim Kardashian Style Make Up

27 Aug

Image

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!

If you’re looking for some of the hottest celebrity makeup looks for summer 2012, check out the following inspirational looks and recreate your favorites. Makeup is supposed to be fun so dare to experiment and have fun with it. The following inspirational makeup looks donned by the most en-vogue celebrities of the moment can be a perfect choice from day to evening, so pick up high quality makeup products and try to recreate them according to your facial features.

A makeup look that enhanced the eyes to perfection is always a great choice whether it’s for a party or a day out shopping with your friends. Rihanna‘s sultry eye makeup paired with soft and sensual pink lips will never fail to impress, so grab-a-hold of your favorite eyeliner and smudge it across your upper and lower lash line. Use a black or dark blue, even a dark green eyeliner pencil to make the eyes pop by going softly and carefully along the waterline as this will create an incredibly powerful and alluring effect. To complete the look curl and coat your eyelashes with mascara and your eyes will look like a goddess’s. Finish the look by sculpting your cheekbones with a shimmery bronze blush and apply a soft and sheer lip balm or lipstick on the lips to give your makeup look that seductive freshness that is a must this spring.

An amazingly romantic and universally flattering makeup look can be easily achieved with a minimum amount of products. Lily Collins‘s Vanity Fair Oscar Party makeup demonstrates that sometimes less is more as with sensual sheer, berry colored lips and high volume individually defined eyelashes, you can achieve a breathtaking, ultra-seductive look. This is a look that requires perfect looking skin, so conceal any blemishes and imperfections using concealer and blush before you continue to underline the your facial features. Keep the look simple and apply a small amount of peach or any other blush that compliments your complexion, on the cheekbones to subtly give more definition to your bone structure.

If you’re searching for a head-turning, heavier makeup look than Olivia Wilde‘s two tone makeup is a perfect choice to draw inspiration from. Using shimmery copper and a dark grey/green eyeshadow you can make the eyes pop, but keep in mind that blending is definitely a must if you wish to obtain a perfection. Finish the look by coating heavily the eyelashes using a black colored mascara, enhance the cheekbones with a tan colored blush and balance the look by adding a nude colored lipstick on. This is a look that is perfect for a cocktail or a night out with your friends, so dare to experiment and explore the enticing world of makeup.

5 sexy celeb make up looks

14 Aug

Makeup became an important part of our lives. It makes us look more beautiful, it refreshes our look when we are tired, and it enhances our best features. Makeup can also be considered as an art and a seduction weapon. Natural, discreet or strong, if properly applied, any type of makeup can correct and flatter you regardless your face shape. Whether you are choosing pale shades of pink or vivid, neon hues, you should learn a few tricks on how to apply different seductive makeup styles. Makeup is the perfect tool you can use when you want to camouflage certain flaws or just bring out your best features. When it comes to seductive makeup, you should know that the are various ways for you to impress. Take a look to 5 seductive makeup styles and get ready to look gorgeous.


Look 1 : Nude & Natural.

Who says that nude, natural makeup cannot be seductive? In fact, this type of makeup reinvents a different kind of sophistication. Apparently nonexistent, nude makeup enhances all facial traits, like cheekbones, eyes and lips, in an extremely delicate and natural way. Therefore, the makeup base is very important. Before applying makeup, pay a lot of attention to all the steps that implies preparing your skin.
Only after this you can start the actual makeup procedure. Your skin should look impeccable so you need to cover all imperfections. Use a concealer for dark circles around the eyes, pimples or other rashes, and then apply foundation. Make sure you apply it evenly inclusively on the superior part of your neck. A discreet blush, mascara, a lipstick or a lip gloss in natural shades and your makeup is ready. For more profound and seductive eyes, apply some dark eyeshadow on the crease of the mobile lid.

Look 2 : Peachy & Pink.

Pink tones offer a special feminine touch and work great for everyone, regardless their eye color, skin complexion or hair color. They have an amazing effect of refreshing the skin and are the ideal choice for summer. For eye makeup, apply lighter shades of pink at the base of the upper eyelid continuing towards the exterior with darker hues. On the arch, a white-nacreous eyeshadow will offer luminosity and brilliance to your makeup. As a final step, don’t forget to apply mascara. As for the lips, you can use a natural shade of lip gloss.

Look 3 : Vintage 40’s, Graces fave.

Vintage makeup has always represented one of our top choices as it is the best expression of femininity, grace and seduction. The perfect ingredients of a ’40 makeup are: flawless, porcelain skin, long eyelashes, perfectly sculpted cheekbones, cherry red or burgundy red lipstick, black liquid eyeliner, and a perfect mixture of shades and lights on the eyelid.
This is one makeup that emphasizes eyes and lips. Use a foundation with medium coverage for a diaphanous look, and if you need it, use a concealer in order to hide certain imperfections. For eye makeup you need two shades of Lila, a lighter one for the mobile eyelid, and a darker one for arch contour. Then, generously apply mascara. You may even apply some liquid eyeliner in case if your eyelashes are too thin. You might consider using false eyelashes. For seductive lips, choose a red lipstick or gloss. Apply some illuminating blush on the cheekbones.

Look 4 : Neon Brights.

Neon makeup is a hot trend that needs some skills in order to be properly applied. This is the perfect choice for those of you who love extravagant makeup. The accent is put on eye makeup and the colors chosen must be strong. Turquoise, yellow, and emerald-green are just a few of the options you have. However, don’t forget to take into consideration your eye color when choosing makeup shades. The secret of this type of makeup stands in a precise application, color blending being an essential thing. Keep the rest of your makeup simple using a lip gloss in a natural color. Blue shades help you bring out your eyes, while red works great if you have blue eyes.

Look 5 : Sexy & Feline Cats Eyes.

Cat eyes makeup requires a correct ascendant application of the eyeliner. Start by applying a nude eyeshadow on the entire arch, and then draw the contour of the upper and lower lids with liquid eyeliner. Next, apply black eyeshadow using a thin brush following the eyeliner line in order to fix your makeup. Then, accentuate the crease using black. As a final step, use a black eyeliner on the interior of the lids and apply mascara. For the lips, makeup should be as natural as possible. Avoid this type of makeup if you have deep set eyes or smaller eyes.
