I get tons of emails asking what type of makeup Kim Kardashian wears. When I chit-chatted with her this past September backstage at the Heatherette show during NY fashion week (click HERE to read the interview), Kardashian professed to being a fan of anything MAC and Turkish Delight lip gloss by Nars.
But that doesn’t really answer the question at hand, does it? I’ll do my best to help all of you Kim Kardashian fans out. Here’s what we do know about Kim Kardashian’s makeup mantra:
~ She’s a glamazon. Every time I see a picture of her, she looks FAB-U-LOUS.
~ She LOVES shimmery eye makeup. Kim does rock the smoky eye look, but it’s softer and much more sultry. Plus, she’s rarely seen not wearing eyeliner.
~ She’s a lash addict. The longer, the better. For the top and the bottom.
~ She’s all about illuminated pretty, pearly pink cheeks.
~ She loves a glossy nude lip. ‘Nuff said.
If I had to guess what type of makeup Kim Kardashian is wearing here, I’d say:
MAC Metal-X Cream Eyeshadow in Cyber
Shu Uemura False Eyelashes
Sephora Brand Blush Me! Mono in Framboise Attraction 3
Nars Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight or Chihuahua, $23
There GLAMonistas - go and get Kim Kardashian’s look!

I actually love Kim K’s look. Even though it is pretty much the same everytime you see her - you can’t fault the girl for figuring out what looks fab on her and sticking with the program. You are right she looks “done” and fab everytime she walks out of the house. Bravo…

Hey Lianne!
I love her look too - she’s such a showstopper. And to top it all off, she’s SO nice.

I second all of it- great call on the blush!- but I think her lips may be too nude for Chihuahua (pinkier). Possibly Turkish Delight, maybe Striptease.

HI! I think all three of the girls are absolutely beautiful.

Kim Kardashian’s Make-up Breakdown (in her words):
Remember that everyone’s color is different so please ask someone at the store where you purchase your makeup what works for you. Even if you think we have the same skin coloring, our tones can be different and I don’t want anyone to waste money on concealer or foundation colors that aren’t absolutely perfect!
STEP 1: I always start with a clean face. Then I put on Intuit ‘Photo Shoot.’ Intuit is a great company and I love the names of their products. Photo Shoot is a make up primer. I put it on after my moisturizer, which basically is like a moisturizer that will fill the pours on your face which will help set the foundation so it will last longer.
STEP 2: I use Cle De Peau concealer stick (it’s super expensive, but works for me). It comes in two colors, I use Ocre, which is the darker of the two. I also use M.A.C. concealer (which comes in a little pot) if I run out of Cle de Peau. Everyone’s color is different but I use NW25. I put the concealer under my eyes because I absolutely hate dark circles! I also use concealer to cover up blemishes!
STEP 3: After I put the concealer on I put on Make Up Forever liquid foundation. I mix one pump of No. 5 and two pumps of No. 4. I also have No. 3 for the winter time when I am really pale. I mix the foundations to get the perfect color. I blend them with the coolest make up brush. Its the M.A.C. brush No. 180.
STEP 4: Since I hate dark circles, after the foundation, I put on a little more concealer just under my eyes since the foundation makes it darker under my eyes. I use a lighter concealer from M.A.C. NW30 in a little lipstick tube-looking container and I select ‘moisture cover.’
STEP 5: To set the foundation I lightly brush on with a big powder brush M.A.C. Select Sheer Pressed Powder NC 30, then to make me a little tanner I lightly brush on M.A.C. Powder NW 45.
STEP 6: Now its blush time! I’m obsessed with blush! I use a color called Gingerly to warm me up and give me a little color and then add a pink color called Cheek to give me rosey cheeks. I just started getting into cream blush and find it works a lot better and lasts a lost longer.
STEP 7: Time for the eyes! My favorite part! I first put down a M.A.C. Paint pot in a light color that matches my skin called Painterly. I just use my finder and put enough onto cover the lid. This creamy shadow makes it so that the powder eye shadow does not crease. Like, if you wear make up all day you will see that the eye shadow begins to crease and get oily, but if you put this paint color down first it won’t! I love cream shadow and use the color cream pots too! I love colored shadow; so it depends on the color depend of shadow I plan to wear: If it’s black smokey I use Carbon by M.A.C.; if its greay smokey I use Knight Divine or Print; if it’s brown smokey I use Embark by M.A.C. I love a fresh shimmery look as well and use M.A.C. Pigment called Tan. Its so pretty! I love bright colors for eye make up! I absolutely love Make Up Forever and don’t think anyone does pigment colors better than them. So again, depending on what color you feel like wearing, go look at Make Up Forever’s colors to choose from.
STEP 8: I always use black pencil eyeliner. My favorite is Stila black pencil.
STEP 9: Now its mascara time! Putting on mascara completes the look, but I have it when I mess up and get it on my eye lid and mess up the eye shadow. I used to use Lancome Hypnose, and still do, but I recently started to use M.A.C. Zoom mascara — which is amazing! I take my time and put coat after coat. I love to layer mascaras so I will probably start with the M.A.C. Zoom and then put Lancome Hypnose on top. I always use a separator brush to separate my lashes. I am completely clueless on how to put false lashes on, so I only wear them for photo shoots sometimes.
STEP 10: The final touch is putting on lipstick! I usually use M.A.C. Lipliner called Stripdown (I use it very lightly) and a lipstick called Angel and put Nars Turkish Delight lipgloss on top. Or for my very nude matte lip I wear Nars Belle De Jour and I line my lips first with M.A.C. Subculture lipliner.

My personal review about Kim Kardasian being featured in any type of media format and especially as a Glam model is a contradictory and a horrible message to send to people who turn to this mag for influences. The last person I would want to be influenced by is Kim Kardasian known for absolutely nothing but trash. Her mother is seen on their ridiculous desperate attempt at a reality show, spreading her legs at what age 60? Her step father’s face would make anyone never want to consider plastic surgery and her sisters are unmemorable and finally, Kim herself, claim to fame is a poor quality porn tape followed by her trash bff deputard Paris (another excuse to hate the city)Hilton, just so that she could be noticed, like her fat butt didn’t get her attention enough. Really, can we get back to what talent and class really stood for?
