Kim Kardashian’s Makeup Secrets

Kim Kardashian recently dished on her blog her makeup tricks and secrets. Find out below what products Kim always uses for her photo finish look!

#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.

#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!

#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.

#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.’

#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.

#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 rosy cheeks. I just started getting into cream blush and find it works a lot better and lasts a lost longer.

#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 smoky I use Carbon by M.A.C.; if its Grey smoky I use Knight Divine or Print; if it’s brown smoky 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.

#8 I always use black pencil eyeliner. My favorite is Stila black pencil.

#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.

#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.

  1. Kim rocks!!! Im a gurl 4rm Nigeria and i jst want to let kim knows she does a really great job. I mean, she realy has helped me alot in so many ways. Thanks Kim and plz kip em coming. Luv ya

  2. I LOVE HER MAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!

  3. kim is the most beautiful person from inside out i love her very much keep rockin kim

  4. That’s just too much make up to put on.gross

  5. That is loadssss of makeup….anyone can look really different when u paint ur face like that. she looks great with it, but still!!

  6. Kim looks so beautiful!!! So many women are plain lazy not to put on make-up or they feel they look better without and actually they look scary and need make-up. Kim has beautiful features and looks fab with her makeup on. Sorry ladies don’t be jealous!!!

  7. That’s ridiculous!!!! Cannot imagine putting on that much makeup. Healthy glowy skin doesn’t require so much makeup maybe she should invest in facials and specialized skin care so she doesn’t have to fake it. Only a corpse needs that much makeup not someone breathing oxygen. Or maybe this is just a marketing scheme and Kim’s getting paid to market these products. Anyhow i’m super disappointed. i saw kim in a picture a couple days ago and she looked so FREAKIN FAKE I hope she doesn’t become a joke like Paris Hilton. She needs to keep it real because her head is about to explode. Her and Kanye would make a great pair!

  8. Such haters! GEEZ people. This is why she is famous, and you are not.

  9. “haters?” and THIS is why she is famous, and YOU are not.” did you bump your head, momsnthongs (credible name by the way)? “famous” people these days are either in rehab, carrying wrap-sheets, getting married and divorced like they shake hands, are perhaps the MOST UNSTABLE and PROBLEMATIC bunch of frauds as a result of their “fame” and you somehow justify their fame as some sort of standard we should all envy and live by? gimme a break! people are just being honest about kim’s heavy makeup regimen, not “hating” kim as you claim. if you can’t take criticism (which occurs in the REAL WORLD and which i’m sure kim herself deals with with grace and forgiveness without your help) because of your fragile little personality, then there is always disneyland.

  10. Okay, maybe that is a lot of makeup.. but I just wanted to see what kind of blush she uses. So if you think of it that way, like just wearing a little part of it, then it’s not so bad. Most celebrities wear a lot of makeup, I’m sure.

  11. I don’t understand, if people don’t like kim or think she’s ugly then why the hell are you on her page? The purpous of her websites are for her FANS, nottt her haters. And don’t everr say something negitive like that to anyone, didn’t your mother ever tell you if you don’t have something nice to say then not to say anything at all? Kim I think your veryy pretty with or without make-up.

  12. I think kim is so pretty, many people do say she wears a lot of makeup which I can understand.
    However, kim is armenian, which is in the middle east, I am also from the middle east and I don’t we’re that much makeup,
    Just as much as anyone else would like foundation blush and basic eye makeup, and I find that its always look like I’m wearing a lot,
    This may reflect on her looks, when ever I watch lebanese(middle eastern news) all the women shown look flawless, so it may just look like she’s wearing more because of her
    Background.
    Also another reason she may we’re a lot is because she in the public eye, if I had as much fame as her , having photos taken of me every second,
    I wouldn’t want a hair out of place, this is probably why celebs look so much more glamorous than the normal public, because they want to look good while
    Everyone is looking at them.
    If you think about the situation properly, its pretty understandable.

  13. Kim is the most beautiful /attractive/sexy woman i have ever seen , i really love her makeup and style , she is always unique with or without makeup , kim you really had heleped me alot , thanks , i love u :)

  14. FIRST OFF I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THIS. THAT IS ALOT OF MAKEUP. SHE DOESNT NEED THAT MUCH MAKE UP TO BE PRETTY, BUT SHE DOES TO KEEP MAKING MONEY AND TO KEEP PEOPLE INTERSTED IN HER. GUYS WANT TO BE WITH HER AND GIRLS WANT TO BE HER. THATS FAME. AND YOU, YOU “NICE”, SERISOULY YOU SHOULD TALK ABOUT REHAB AND SUCH… LOOK AT HER ENTIRE FAMILY SURE THEIR TIGHT NIT BUT THEY ARE THE MOST CODEPENDENT BUNCH OF PEOPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. WICH ISNT A BAD THING, ESPECIALLY LIVING IN A NARSASISTIC SOCIETY LIKE THEY DO. YOU DONT LIVE IN THEIR WORLD OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE KIND OF DEPRESSION THAT GOES ALONG WITH THE FAME OR THE LOW SELF ESTEEM, AND THE CHRONIC FEELINGS OF EMPTINESS DONT YOU STOP TO THINK BEFORE YOU RACK ON SOMEONE BY CALLING THEM FAKE WHEN YOUR GOOGLING THIME LOL, YOUR THE ONE SITTING INFRONT OF YOUR COMPUTER LOOKING AT HOW “FAKE” THEY ARE, WHEN YOU KNOW HOW THEY ALREADY LOOK THAT MEANS YOU KNOW THEY ARE ALREADY “FAKE”, HOW YOU PERCIEVE IT AND YET YOU STILL GOOGLE THEM? MAYBE PEOPLE JUST DONT LIKE TO BE CALLED HATERS WHEN IN FACT ITS JEALOUSY. YES INDEED YOU ARE JEALOUS THAT WHILE YOUR INFRONT OF THE COMPUTER, SHES MAKING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, THAT SHES BEEN SUCESSFUL, THAT SHES STILL DROP DEAD GORGEOUS WITHOUT ANY MAKE UP WHATSOEVER..SHE WILL NEVER BE A PARIS HILTON, NOR WILL HER ENTIRE FAMILY. WHY DONT YOU GROW UP GET A LIFE AND IF YOU HATE THESE “FAKE” RAP SHEETED SCREW UP PEOPLE SO MUCH, THEN LOSE YOUR T.V, TURN OFF YOUR RADIOS, THROW OUT YOUR COMPUTER AND NEVER LOOK AT A MAGAZINE.. BETTER YET GO STAND INFRONT OF YOUR MIRROR AND SCRUTINIZE YOURSELF, YOUTUBE IT AND BLOG IT FOR THE WORLD TO ENJOY AND JUDGE YOU AT OUR AMUSEMENT! -FOR KIMMY-

  18. I Agree withh “meggersbitch” 101% kim is gorgeous nnd doesnt need urr comments about her wearingg to muchh or too little makeupp. . .
    she is gorgeous withh or withh out nnd can pull off this muchh!! half of you are just mad cause if yuu tryed to wear this much makeupp yu’d look like a dragg. . . so kickk backk nnd keep urr rude comments to urself. . .
    Kim Rockks nnd So does her makeup! ((:

  19. Kim looks great , theres nothing wrong with tons of makeup as Long as its` done right.

  20. wow kim is just famous and gorgeous and it sounds like “nice” may not have been prom queen judging by her hater attitude! pretty people bug ya?? Shes an entertainer duh shes gonna wear tons of makeup but she can pull it off so do it shes awesome shes not someone trying to go around saying she natural.
    At least shes honest and thats what makes her beautiful.

  21. Kim is gorgeous with or without makeup..everybody has their days where they wear none or a lot..andddd she is a Celeb who gets photographed a lot so she wants her skin to look flawless..who gives a crap..at least she is honest and not saying she was born perfect without imperfections..and BTW Kim is half Turkish Armenian and half Russian Armenian from her dads side and her mom is Dutch and Scottish not at all Armenian..just saying bc one person failed to mention the rest of her ethnicity and just said she was the one

  22. I think Kim is very beautiful, If she likes putting on a lot of make up who are we to judge, she looks great with or without.

  23. I would love to see a picture of everyone who is griping about that being too much makeup. Most women I encounter who pull the “eeew too much makeup” could really use some. Unfortunately most don’t know how to apply it properly. I’m a makeup artist and sometimes I wear just as much makeup as Kim, or I wear nothing but a little Bare Minerals and mascara. Depending on my mood and what look I want. As a makeup artist I believe there’s no such thing as ugly girls, only lazy ones.

  24. i need help! i have very oily skin and acne and wholes in my face what make up can help me not look shiny and actully really cover up my face to look flawless 29 and still looking can any one help

  25. I like MAC cosmetics wholesale
    and I Buy good MAC cosmetics online
    there have good quality Wholesale mac makeup brush set and very sex your life.

  26. I was overwhelmed by all of the steps … i’m no make-up artist … and that seemed like it would take me hours. Kim you are my idol you are so hardworking and beautiful … I wish I could look as good as you!

  27. thats not alot of makeup. its a normal amount. you all probably know NOTHING about make up. idiots.

  28. “There is no such thing as an ugly woman, only lazy ones”

    Kim is beautiful! She puts in the time to look that way too, so more power to her!!
