More Kim Kardashian Makeup


Hello, my gorgeous, contoured fans! So, for years now the makeup world has been jumping on board with the over the top makeup Kim Kardashian wears on a regular basis (Thank god) and now it's okay for women to wear drag makeup. As you can see here, Kim has been DOOONE! For those of you wondering what the hell is going on with her face, let me clue you in. Kim probably has on 2 layers of foundation in two different colors, one for the highlighted area of her face and one for the outer sides where it's more shadowed, and then on top of it she has an even lighter colored concealer which has been put on from the bottom of her nose to her under-eye and brought over and up with her cheekbones. She also has this on her nose, forehead, chin and around her mouth. The whiteness is a LOT of powder  that is being used to set her makeup, then she has an harsh contouring line under her cheekbones. I'm not TOOOTALLY positiv,e but I meant ontop of this she/her makeup artist may even blend this all together with another layer of foundation....sounds like heaven. For more info on this, check out my favorite youtube makeup guru, Wayne Goss, talking us through it.

Various NARS products: review

Hello, my gorgeous, makeup applying fans. I don't know why, but I have a SERIOUS weakness for NARS. I don't know what it is. To be honest, it is nowhere close to my favorite brand, I am often disappointed by their eye shadows and it's overpriced...but I can't stop stocking up on NARS! I don't know if it's the sleep packaging?! Or maybe it's the names they choose...there's a blushes called "Deep Throat," "Orgasm," "Striptease," etc...do these names just make me feel so dirty in the best possible way? I don't know, but I have so much NARS in my makeup case.


I wrote a post a while back about how I'm often disappointed with their eye shadows. I find them chalky or impossible to work with. Their glitter eye shadows make no sense...they're like hard...and look like frozen ice cone...anyway...I DO like their lip and face products though. One of my favorites is a highlighter they sell called "Albatross." It's a pale white/yellow that I just find really flattering. It glows in the pan and on your face. I also got the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation which I haven't tried yet, but will review once I do.


I also got a BUNCH of different lip products. I am very into a nude lip and went a little nuts buying some nude lip products. I got 2 lipsticks. One is called "Promiscuous," which is just a sheer, shimmery, beige color. I would have preferred for it to be more pigmented, it's TOO sheer. Too bad because it looked promising in the store. "Honolulu Honey" is a similar color, but a matte finish and I actually really like this one. It has enough pigment, it's subtle and looks even better with the "Spring Break" gloss I got over it. I LOVE this gloss. It is PERFECT. I don't love gloss with big glitter particles in it. I prefer a slight shimmer and this is perfect because it's beige with a gold shimmer in it. LOVE! Highly recommend this product. This is part of their new "Larger Than Life" gloss line. It's just gorgeous. I also got the "Albatross" gloss, which I LOOOOVE as well! It's the same pale white/yellow color as the highlighter. I just love it, it might not be for everyone though.


I also got two of these "Velvet Matte Lip Pencils," one in "Belle de Jour," a nude and "Cruella," which is red. I don't know if I'm all about these jumbo lip pencils. I reviewed a NYX Jumbo Lip Pencil that I really liked (for a 4th of the price) that was very pigmented and blended well. Even though I love the color, the shimmery nude one just wasn't enough for me. The red one is fine too...I don't know, I wasn't thrilled with these at all, was mostly just curious.

Kim Kardashian Concealer trick!


Hello, my gorgeous fans! Today I was casually browsing online news, and came across an always relevant article, with pictures, on celebrities without makeup. The one who always catches my eye is Kim Kardashian. Despite her obvious lack of any real talent, besides being gorgeous and a genius for creating her empire (with mother Kris of course), I absolutely love Kim. I love her for her stupid, whiny voice, I love her for her eyelash extensions, I love her for her drag queen makeup, I love her for her terrible decision making, and I think most of all, I love her for wearing $75,000 earrings on her island vacation, losing them in the water (after being thrown by her neanderthal fiancee) and then running to her mother to cry about it.


I also love her because she figured out that she could change her look from gorgeous, exotic looking girl, to OVER THE TOP, GLAMOUROUS beauty who everyone wants to look like. Many people think that Kim has gotten drastic plastic surgery, I just think that isn't so (and trust me, I know plastic surgery when I see it). I think she definitely gets botox, and has admitted to that many times, but I honestly believe that the rest is done with amazing makeup. Bellow, you'll see a great video of Kim getting her makeup done by Mario Dedivanovic, her makeup artist of choice. The thing he is really the master of is concealer. He literally does drag queen concealer and sets it with tons of powder on Kim, and that's how she gets her amazing, alien-like look. I've also attached a great tutorial on how to get that look for yourself.

Lorac Perfectly Lit Luminizing Powder

Hello, gorgeous ones! Today I'm going to be talking about Lorac "Perfectly Lit" Luminizing Powder. My publicist turned me onto this product, and it's probably the product I have purchased most and use the most of anything besides foundation. I went through a phase when I was obsessed with highlighting and lumping products. Ironically, this was the first one I used, and it was always the best. Many highlighting powders have glitter in them, which i absolutely hate. There is a time and place for glitter, and it's not all over your face. This powder gives you the perfect, highlighting, shimmer that just makes your cheekbones POP! Fabulous product. I apply it with a large shadow brush on the top of my cheekbones, above my blush and bronzer. In the winter I use the lightest shade, and in the summer I wear the medium shade.

Other highlighting products that I like are NARS Albatross Highlighter, TOO FACED Candlelight, and MAC Pigment Vanilla.

Make Up Atelier Paris

This is a brand that my American fans may not know about. I discovered this brand from Goss Makeup Artist, who is an amazing makeup guru on youtube (and a total hottie). So far I have tried their cream liners and eye shadows. The cream liners come in nicely sized container, so you get a good amount of product, and they're very pigmented. Because they are so creamy, they can also be applied as a base for eye shadow on the eye. So, if you wanted to do a dark lid, you could apply the black or brown cream eye liner and then put a powder shadow on top. I also have the white, cream liner, which is fantastic. It is so bright and pigmented and is far superior to similar products from Makeup Forever or MAC.

The eye shadows are so wonderful. I bought a palette that contains five, full sized eye shadows in matte, neutral shades. They are so pigmented and apply beautifully. I highly recommend these shadows if you like matte eye shadows. A website that carries this brand (that I believe ships to America) is http://www.love-makeup.co.uk. I'm sure you can find these on ebay as well.



Urban Decay Eye Shadows!

Hello, my beautiful fans!! Besides being passionate about acting and singing, I am also extremely into cosmetics. I would love to share with you all some of my favorite products and review new ones that I try out. To get things started I want to talk about one of my favorite eye shadow brands: Urban Decay. If you're looking for subtle, matte shades, I wouldn't recommend this brand to you (although they do make a few great matte shadows), if you're into sparkly, shimmery, pigmented eye shadows, these are the ones for you!

They come in a few different finishes. Some are shimmer and some have glitter particles in them. Even though the glitter shadows look fab, they can be messy, so I recommend applying them before you put on foundation so you can wipe away the fallout and don't have what a friend of mine calls "glitter face." Some of my favorite urban decay shades are: Sellout, Midnight Cowboy, Sin, Blunt, Flash, Vapor, and Midnight Cowgirl. They also have an array of palettes that you can buy with different mixtures of colors that are a very good deal for the amount of product you get! Check it out!
