Kim Kardashian’s Favorite Bronzer

Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian is always sharing makeup and style tips with her fans on her blog, including revealing her all time favorite makeup bronzer. Kim says Smashbox Bronze Lights ($28)  is her favorite because it’s a matte bronzer.

I think it’s important to have a great matte bronzer that doesn’t have shimmer in it because sometimes shimmer can make you look oily.

I use a smaller brush to contour my cheekbones and then use a bigger powder brush to give me a little color on my forehead and nose.

The bronzer is available in two shades, Sunkissed Matte and Suntan Matte. Since Kim has dark skin she uses Suntan Matte.

Christina Aguilera’s Makeup Tips

Christina Aguilera

Christina Aguilera revealed some of her most coveted beauty secrets with Elle Magazine.

On creating the perfect cat eye:

Make sure you have a very steady hand! Also, I sit Indian style right in front of the mirror so I can see exactly what I’m doing. Oh, and I use an angle eyeliner brush.

On upkeeping her blonde locks:

Baby powder for blonde hair. When you don’t have time to shampoo, it makes hair smooth and soft, and it lightens up the color. Klorane Dry Shampoo works great too.

On maintaining clear skin:

I never go to sleep without washing my face. I swear by M.A.C. Wipes. I like to keep it pretty basic – take care of my skin, drink water, and get plenty of rest.

Her new beauty regimen now that she has a child:

Moisturizer, foundation, lop balm, and lipstick are my daily essentials. M.A.C. Hyper Real foundation has a touch of shimmer that makes my skin glow.

On her new Mod look:

For my last album my image was inspired by the 20’s and 30’s – it was very glam. Now I’m combining 60’s mod elements like liquid eyeliner with metallic accents and straight hair and bangs. My lips used to be the focal point, but I’m getting more creative with my eyes.

On her favorite sunless tanning lotion:

I’ve been loyal to Au Courant Instant Sunless Tanning Lotion for years. It’s a lifesaver on tour when I can’t get outside much, plus I hate the sun – it makes skin age.

On her favorite lip balm:

I use Dior Creme Abricot every night before bed. It’s a nail cream, but you can use it for a lot more. I’ll put it on my lips.

Christina also reveals that she uses Nar Lipliner in Jungle Red to outline her famous cherry red lips.

Heidi Klum Shares Beauty Tips from Her Very Sexy Makeup Collection

Victoria’s Secret Angel Heidi Klum helped to create their Very Sexy Makeup collection because she wanted a colorful and chic makeup line – makeup you could have fun with!

Heidi’s favorite product from the line is their Glitter Eye Liner in Licorice (below), which she says “makes any eye color stand out”. To also make her eyes stand out, Heidi says she wear flash lashes. She applies individual lashes after her mascara, then she uses an eyelash curler to help blend the faux lashes.

Another trick Heidi has learned is to always carry blotting papers with her if she will be photographed. “I blot one last time before I get out of the car; otherwise there’s no way I’d be looking good an hour later.”

How To Get Keira Knightley’s Glamour Cover Look

Actress Keira Knightly looked radiant in a Stella McCartney purple sweater on the cover of the November 2008 issue of Glamour magazine. You can copy Keira’s hair, makeup and outfit to get the same look.

For Keira’s sexy loose curls hair stylist Ben Skervin used thickening products for full waves – try using Pantene Pro-V Extra Fullness Mousse. I love the fuzzy, warm sweater Keira is wearing – it’s a Stella McCartney cowl neck sweater which sells for $995. You can get a similar look with Victoria’s Secret Silk & Cashmere blend cowl neck sweater - only $39!

For Keira’s makeup, her makeup artist used a lot of brown and pink to compliment her natural coloring. For her eyes makeup artist Mary Greenwell used a brown shadow to create a smokey eye, and finished with black mascara. Then a sheer foundation was applied all over, try Chanel Teint Innocence Compact Foundation. Greenwell then applied some natural looking blush, try Chanel Powder Blush in Narcisse. Since Keira is very fair skinned, she wore a light pink lipstick, try Chanel Rouge Allure Lip Colour in Frivole.
