Makeup in the style of Kim Kardashian is the subject of admiration for many girls around the world. But for some, it remains an unattainable dream, because it seems impossible to make it with your own hands. After all, Kim is a “star” and probably uses the services of professional makeup artists. Yes, she cannot do without their help. But even an ordinary girl can do such make-up. To do this, you will need a detailed execution plan, a set of decorative cosmetics, as well as patience and inspiration.
Subtleties of star makeup
What is so fascinating about Kim's makeup? First of all, with its catchiness, colorfulness and emphasis on the upper part of the face - eyes, eyebrows and eyelids. At the same time, the lower zone (lips), as expected, remains neutral. This contrast creates an image that is simultaneously feminine, gentle, fatal and sexy.
Kim Kardashian's makeup is a recognizable “signature” look, which is created with the help of constant false eyelashes, thick shadows in calm tones and rich eyeliner. The emphasis is on the inner corners of the eyes with light, contrasting shadows, which makes her look languid, sparkling and a little fantastic.
In addition, it is clearly noticeable that the face is covered with a large amount of foundation. The finishing touch is the lips. Kardashian wisely paints them with transparent glosses of a caramel palette.
In general, this make-up looks a bit heavy and probably won’t suit every girl, especially a blonde with blue eyes of the Caucasian race. In addition, Kim’s makeup is not daytime, but evening, formal, and this should also be taken into account.
Eye and eyebrow makeup technique: step-by-step instructions
For convenience, the work can be divided into 10 stages. By following them step by step, you will definitely get the desired result at home.
- Before you do Kim Kardashian's makeup yourself, you need to apply a primer to “cement” the future makeup. First step: apply a light coffee shade of eyeshadow under the brow line with the sharpened end of a brush.
- Apply shimmering shadows of a golden hue (champagne color) under the eyebrow and in the corners of the eyes with a flat brush; Kim Kardashian’s makeup is indispensable without this.
- Now, using the same brush, apply a tone an order of magnitude darker (light brown) in the center of the upper eyelid.
- If you want a makeup like Kim Kardashian, then make a smooth transition between the crease of the eyelid and the skin under the eyebrows using a round brush. Use brown-beige eyeshadow for this.
- Using the same flat brush, apply thick, dark brown eyeshadow to the edge of the upper eyelid (in the area of the outer corner of the eye). Shade it so that there are no obvious transitions or boundaries between colors. As a rule, these flaws are visible to the naked eye, so achieve the perfect result, without which Kim Kardashian's makeup is impossible.
- Now it's the turn of the lower eyelid. The principle of applying shadows is the same as for the upper eyelid. The darkest tone (shading) is applied along the edges, a less dark tone is applied in the center, and the corners can be “reflected” with ivory tones or flesh color.
- Makeup in the style of Kim Kardashian is impossible without an eye contour. To make it the same, you need to outline the eyelash growth line of the upper and lower eyelids from the inside and outside. This step adds depth and mystery to the look. The lines, however, can turn out unnatural, so they need to be covered on top with a layer of matte black shadows (they will smooth out the roughness of the outline).
- This is the “highlight” of Kardashian’s signature makeup and lies in the fact that you need to highlight (highlight the nose). This technique is not suitable for all girls, so it is not necessary to repeat it. And you need to do it like this: apply a light layer of light brown shadows to the places where the eyebrow arches begin.
- Cover your eyelashes with mascara with a lengthening effect.
- After 20 minutes (when the mascara has dried), attach the false eyelashes. Our star uses kits in which the outer fibers are longer than the inner ones - this creates a natural effect.
If you do everything as described in the make-up creation scheme, you will get exactly the same makeup as Kim Kardashian. By adding a hairstyle in her style, create a complete look for this star.

Glam makeup sequence
- 1. Prepare the skin
- Apply Giorgio Armani Maestro Glow foundation fluid and blend well with a brush over the entire face.
- 2. Then we do contouring
- There are two types of contouring - oily and dry. Rob likes bold as it is more natural and looks better.
It is very important to make the contouring look as natural as possible, and not look like lines were drawn on the face.
Contouring is done using the darkest shade of Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer.
Using an applicator, apply a line to the indentations in the cheekbones, and a few strokes to the upper corners of the forehead. To correct the nose, we draw several lines, starting from the bridge of the nose and to the tip of the nose.
Now we shade all the drawn lines very well so that there are no sharp transitions. Rob recommends using a damp sponge for blending.
- 3. The next step is bronzing
- Before this, use a wide brush to apply powder over the entire surface of the skin.
Now with a brush we apply the Ambient Lighting Bronzer from HOURGLASS to the upper eyelid, like eyeshadow. - 4. Add shine to your eyelids
- Using a brush, apply Pur Minerals Eye Polish to the upper eyelid using precise movements along the eyeball.
- 5. Emphasize the whiteness of the eyeball
- Using a black pencil, apply eyeliner along the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid.
- 6. Moving on to eyebrow makeup
- Rob prefers to use a blonde pencil as it applies softer and looks more natural, while still giving the brows the desired shape.
In Glam makeup there is no need to focus on the eyebrows, everything should look soft and natural. Use a pencil to shade the gaps between the hairs and give them a natural shape. - 7. Paint your eyelashes
- The upper eyelashes, like the lower ones, are very important for Glam makeup. If they are hardly noticeable, they need to be painted over with mascara.
- 8. Tint the area under the eyes
- The area under the eyes should be perfect.
Therefore, we apply Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer in a light shade to the area under the eyes and blend it with a sponge towards the temples, thereby emphasizing the line of the upper cheekbones. - 9. Apply bronzer to the upper cheekbones
- Before applying bronzer to your upper cheekbones, you need to powder them.
Rob does not recommend applying powder all over the face in order to preserve the natural shine of the face, then it will not look like a mask. Using a wide brush, lightly brush over the cheekbones, chin, and forehead.
Now, using a wide brush, we bronze the cheekbones with the same bronzer that was applied to the eyelids - Ambient Lighting Bronzer from HOURGLASS. - 10. Give your skin a glow with highlighter
- Apply Hourglass Luminous Bronze Light Ambient Lighting Bronzer above the upper lip, along the upper cheekbones and chin.
- 11. We fix makeup with a special spray
- Finally, Rob sets the makeup with Pixi Setting Spray and reapplies Artist Couture highlighter to the cheekbones for a radiant finish.
- 12. Apply lipstick to lips
- Apply a transparent natural lipstick to the lips, followed by Dose of Colors Classic Lip Gloss (Undressed).
Rob also advises not to overdo your eyes with eyeliner and shadows, but to perfect your face so that your skin looks perfect.
At the same time, you need to strive for naturalness; makeup should not be overloaded.
Video - How to do Hollywood GLAM makeup like Kim Kardashian
is one of those celebrities who give a reason to talk about themselves almost every day. She is always in sight, and therefore must look impeccable. In addition, Kim produces decorative cosmetics under her own brand KKW Beauty, and on November 15 she will present a new fragrance. The star is well acquainted with the beauty industry, and in recent years, significantly. What is her secret? Kim Kardashian herself answers:
1. “I change up my skincare routine often because I like to try new products. I make sure to cleanse my skin with a foaming product, use serum and moisturizing cosmetics. The skin definitely needs to be moisturized! Also, don't forget about scrubbing. And use sunscreen"
2. “When I color my lips, I like to go a little beyond the outline of my upper lip. I can't imagine my life without the KKW Beauty Lip Liner set, which will be available soon."
3. “It seems to me that the skin definitely needs to be given a warm tint. Even when I don't have time to apply foundation, I use the sticks, then blend and apply highlighter."
4. “My workout lasts an hour and a half and I do a lot of strength exercises with dumbbells. In addition, I like belts and special waist corsets. I often wore them after having children, and even play sports in them if I want to remove a couple of centimeters from my waist.”
Despite the high cost of a beauty lesson ($800, wait a minute!) from Kim Kardashian and Mario Dedivanovic, the Pasadena Civic Conference hall in Los Angeles was filled to capacity with people eager to learn the secret makeup tricks and idiosyncrasies of the #1 socialite, as they say. , first-hand. We weren’t there, which is a pity, BUT we still found out something for you! So, are you ready to learn Kim Kardashian's makeup secrets? 10 tips from Mario Dedivanovic are very expensive! Be sure to take note!
Secret 1. Hair first, makeup second.
“I always start working with clients by styling their hair. To remove styling products from my face, making it the perfect canvas for makeup application, I always wipe my skin with wet wipes. Plus, if you do a luxurious, voluminous hairstyle, you probably won’t want to pin it up with bobby pins so that your curls don’t interfere with applying makeup,” advises Mario.
Secret 2. Instead of a primer, use a moisturizer
“I don't use primer. I don’t like it when there are barriers between skin and cosmetics. In order for the makeup to fit perfectly, before applying the tone, I moisturize the skin of the face, neck and décolleté with milk or emollient cream (for Kim he used Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream) - it really works. This way the foundation will last longer, and the skin looks fresh and moisturized for a longer period than after using a primer.”
Secret 3. Apply foundation wherever possible
“You probably apply foundation on your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. What about the eyelids, ears, chest, arms and even legs?” asks Dedivanovic. When the master prepares Kim for a social event, he arms himself with a jar of long-lasting and dense foundation and covers the entire diva with it - from head to toe. Thus, it creates the perfect texture for contouring and sculpting that Kardashian is so famous for. This allows you to “sculpt” any bulges on the star’s skin and hide even the smallest imperfections. “My advice for you girls. When going to a party, apply a little foundation on your ears, otherwise they will look red in the photo,” the guru advises.
Secret 4. Apply a little loose powder to your hands
This trick can often be seen on the backstage of fashion shows, and Mario advises doing the same: “After applying foundation, cross your fingers around the powder puff. Press it gently against the skin. This will balance the tone + you won’t stain your face with makeup residue on your fingers (eyeliner, eyebrow filler, etc.).”
Secret 5. Create an ombre effect on your eyebrows too
Mario devotes most of his time to makeup to eyebrows - the foundation of the face, as he believes. For styling and makeup of Kim Kardashian's eyebrows, he uses the Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow pencil in two shades: as the main shade - Medium Brown, which smoothly transitions to a lighter Light Brown. This way the eyebrows don't look too heavy.
Secret 6. First creamy textures, then powdery ones
Secret 7. Triple eyeliner
Do you want your eyes to be expressionless and your makeup to be flat? Then you can continue to use just one eyeliner! Mario recommends using at least 3 liners. First, he lines Kim’s eyes with a MAC Eye Kohl pencil - as close as possible to the lash line, then with MAC Liquid Liner he goes over the first line and draws arrows, and then, armed with waterproof gel pigment Anastasia Waterproof Creme Colorme Color, the makeup artist completes the makeup. Why so much money? “I use this trick because it helps make the eyes pop and the makeup look more expensive,” explains Mario.
Secret 8. Fight dark circles under your eyes
Mario has long been famous for his unique makeup technique, thanks to which dark circles under the eyes are literally erased. At the master class, Kim admitted that dark circles under her eyes are the main drawback of her appearance, which Mario helps her cope with. The makeup artist suggests eliminating dark circles this way: apply a thick layer of makeup using the standard “inverted triangle” pattern - from the area under the eyes, along the wings of the nose, ending just below the cheeks. Blend so that the concealer becomes your second skin and completely merges with the foundation. Apply a little powder on top using a patting motion using a sponge, and after a couple of minutes simply shake off the remaining product from the face. Voila, your bruises are gone!
Secret 9. Carefully work out your eyelashes
“I’ve never gotten eyelash extensions,” Kim admits. - They think this is an absolutely Armenian habit. BUT. I truly believe in Latisse eyelash growth product. I don’t use it now, but after North was born, I used it for a while until my eyelashes were completely restored.” To highlight Kim's already long eyelashes and, as they say, to open up her eyes, Mario applies several layers of Voluminous Original Mascara from L'Oréal Paris, separating them with a special brush.
After that, alternating between long and extra-long false eyelashes, he glues them along the growth line in this order: long - in the outer corners (using tweezers and a black patch), extra-long - selectively, where necessary. When the eyelashes firmly adhere to the eyelids, he applies another layer of mascara on top.
Secret 10. Bronzer, highlighter and blush
“This is where he got it right,” says Kim as Dedivanovic picks up a brush and bronzer. Yeah, you can’t argue with her here! Contouring in the style of Kim Kardashian is the top beauty request on the Internet, which has been of interest to makeup artists, bloggers and ordinary girls around the world for many years.
First, he passes the brush under the chin, along the neck and lightly touches the cheekbones, which are quite expressive on Kim even without sculpting. Then she starts highlighting areas of her face using her favorite highlighter product from Charlotte Tilbury's Filmstar Bronze & Glow Palette.
Kim has a slight hump on her nose, so I apply highlighter above and below it to even out the shape of her nose.
He then applies highlighter above the lip (Cupid's line), along the chin and above the cheekbones. After this, Mario replaces the silver highlighter with gold, mixes it with peach blush and applies it to the apples of the cheeks, moving the brush towards the temples.+
