Kim Kardashian's Makeup Tricks

How to do your makeup like Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian's makeup commands attention and channels a modern day Marilyn Monroe. Her signature style is equal parts polished, poised and Penthouse. Copying Kim's kittenish style is a cinch, although she likes to lead on as though she wakes up this gorgeous. You can too with these beauty tips. In the meantime, try on her look in our virtural makeup studio.

Sun-kissed skin is Kim Kardashian's trademark. Liquid foundation should yield a smooth, light-reflecting finish. Opt for medium coverage and apply it with a foundation brush, blending well at the jaw and hair line.

Luscious lashes are non-negotiable. Curl your fringe with an eyelash curler, then adhere three to five individual, medium-length falsies to the outer corners of each eye, using tweezers for precise application. With a steady hand, rim top and bottom lashes with black or dark chocolate liner. Formula options are three-fold: kohl pencil, liquid or wet powder—all of which will need to be smudged with a Q-tip. Finish with volumizing mascara in blackest black and apply it generously to your lower lashes for sex kitten effect.

Sweep on powder blush from the apple of the cheeks to the temples with a fluffy blush brush. Dust bronzer onto the temples and cheeks, décolletage, and in between the cleavage to create the illusion of more depth (did we mention you can also mimic Kim's curves with the right Wonderbra?). Women with dark skin can create the illusion of deeper cleavage by shadowing in between the breasts with a light highlighter color.

Finish off your glowing canvas with a dash of pearly, pale-pink shimmer (you can use an eye shadow of the same shade) on the cheekbones, temples, outer and inner corners of the eye, and underside of the brows. This technique picks up light and will emphasize the bone structure of your face.

Line your pout with a fleshy, berry-toned pencil. Follow with two coats of berry-inspired lipstick (blot between applications), and add a dab of high-shine lip gloss to the center of the lower lip for a look that’s plump and irresistibly kissable like Kim.
