Good morning everyone!
I feel like changing it up today!! Instead of reviewing a specific makeup brand, I feel like its time to share with you a makeup look that I absolutely love!
Introducing Kim Kardashian's smokey eye look:
As you can see Kim Kardashian is rocking this smokey eye look. Mario Dedivanovic has done a fantastic job at applying her makeup for the Three Olive's Bubble Flavoured Vodka Party. It was the first time ever he had done an all-black smokey eye on her and honestly, this look is my favourite look she's ever worn! The dramatic darkness engulfing her eyes accentuates the almond shape of her eyes and really makes the chocolate in her eyes 'pop'. The contrast of the black in her dress, her dark hair and the dark smokey eye ties her whole look together. I'm loving her blue clutch as well, so bold!
Now onto how anyone could achieve such an amazing look! ....
(Don't underestimate the smokey eye.. it involves having many makeup wipes close at hand!)
Mario Dedivanovic explains in his blog exactly how he achieved this look!http://blog.makeupbymario.com/2009/07/get-the-face-kim-kardashians-sexy-smokey-eye/ ...
Skin – I prepped her skin with Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer first. I let her skin absorb that for a couple of minutes before applying Mat Velvet + Matyfying Foundation by Make Up For Ever. I use this foundation from time to time. It gives a very velvety and pore-less look to the skin. For powder, I used very little of Subliminal Purity Mineral Based Loose Powder by Calvin Klein to set the foundation with a powder puff.
I used Dior’s DiorSkin Sculpt Lifting Smoothing Concealer under the eyes after all of the eye makeup was complete. (When working with black eye shadow, it will almost always fall down a bit and make a mess so clean the under eye area with a makeup wipe, then apply concealer.)
Her eyebrow’s are filled in softly with MAC’s Cork eyeshadow – with more of the focus on the outer corners of the brow.
Eyes – Apply Shu Uemuras Painting Liner Eye Liner in MBlack all over the eye lids and on the lower lash line as well. This is a long-lasting and highly pigmented black cream liner. To set that eyeliner and blend it up and out towards the crease, I used Lorac’s Eye Shadow in Black. The inner rim of the eye is lined with MAC’s white eye pencil in Fascinating. Using all black on the eyes can sometimes make them appear smaller so the white pencil on the inner rim is a great trick for opening your eyes. Finish off with two or three coats of L’oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black.
Cheeks – Apply Desire by NARS ( the perfect pink) on the apples of cheeks and blend well. The face is framed in Casino Bronzer by NARS.
Lips – I lined her lips with MAC’s lip pencil in Subculutre and used Dior Addict High Shine Lipstick in Pink Protege.
And that's that! But if your overwhelmed at the difficulty of achieving this look, DON'T BE! All it takes is practice, practice, practice!! I'm sure you'll get there in time :)
