This reality TV star, mother-to- be with husband Kanye West, has often opened up about her beauty regime and make-up tips- posting make-up tutorials on YouTube and giving candid interviews.
HELLO! Online has compiled her top ten beauty tips:
1. Style your hair before applying make-up
“I always style my hair first then pin it back while I do my make-up,” says Kardashian.
.2. Choose a matter bronzer
“Use a matte bronzer rather than one that has shimmer in it,” said Kardashian. “The shimmer can make your skin look oily. I love Smashbox Bronze Lights in Suntan Matte because it doesn’t have sparkle in it.”
3. Create contours
4. Spend time on the eyebrows
Kim’s make-up artist Joyce Bonelli once revealed how exactly she tends to the star’s eyebrows. “On Kim I use Smashbox’s eyebrow styling pencil, and we fill it in,” she said. “We keep her eyebrows groomed in the shape she likes, more round at the peak rather than pointed. So we fill it in a little bit to keep it round, then to finish off the end of the brow.”
5. Be careful with eyeshadow
Kim has a tip when it comes to perfectly applying eye shadow. “I powder under my eyes before applying,” she said. “You can see the white powder, then brush it off.”
6. Max out the lashes
Kim loves her lashes to look long and luscious. While she insists her long eyelashes “run in the family” she also admits to getting a little help sometimes. “I’m a big fan of wearing lashes for shoots and big events,” she once said.
To give her false eyelashes a natural look, Kim recommends cutting full strips lashes into pieces so they’ll fit perfectly. “I cut mine in half for a more realistic appearance, then add a line of glue to the base of the strip,” she previously told InStyle. Alternatively, go for a pair of petite lashes such as Ardell Accents Lashes for the same looking without trimming the lash band. “Look in the mirror — head up, eyes lowered — and use the handle of an eyeshadow brush to help keep the outer corner of your lid closed. Apply the lash strip to your lash line, and hold for five seconds.”
7. Keep nails neat
Kim is often spotted getting her nails done at the salon, but she is constantly filing them herself. “I’m OCD,” she said. “[My nails] have to be perfectly squared. I carry a file with me everywhere I go. I get anxiety when I get my nails done if it’s not the person I use all the time, because I don’t want to offend them when I ask to file my own nails!”
8. Always wear sunscreen
When asked what the one thing she’d take to a desert island with her, Kardashian replied, “Sunscreen, definitely. I would never go anywhere without it.” Before receiving a severe sunburn during a holiday to Mexico in 2009, she had previously admitted sunscreen was not an important factor in her skincare regime. Now, it has become one of her top priorities. “It’s my biggest beauty advice,” she said. “I haven’t always been strict on that, but it’s something I’ve started thinking about more.”
9. Take off your make-up
“My most essential product has got to be Neutrogena Make-up Remover Cleansing Towelettes in Night Calming,” said Kardashian. “I need a make-up wipe at all times.” Going to bed with a clean face is necessary in order to let your skin breathe. Otherwise, your pores become clogged causing reactions fr0m products applied during the day
10. Use Bio-Oil
