Before AND After: Kim's Makeup Secrets revealed!


Along with a host of personal makeup artists and hair dressers, Kim has a few secret weapons to keep her looking immaculate at all times.  From her hair to her nails, I've got the scoop for you here. Enjoy!

Those Lashes!
Kim and her makeup artists use both strips and individuals. It really depends on the look you're going for. Kim uses the brand Ardell for false lashes. MAC individual lashes are a favorite too!

The Eyes
Under the eyes, Kim uses concealer. If the area is very dark, she'll use a cream concealer first like Laura Mercier's secret camouflage and follow with a liquid concealer on top. If you're going super glam, you'll love the look of the the new liquid high definition concealer from SmashBox cosmetics.














Give Your Skin That Red-Carpet-Ready Glow
This is a simple trick Kim's makeup artists use that is super easy for non-celebs to use as well.  You're going to want to use a highlighter, like the one from Tom Ford Estee Lauder Collection.
It gives a sheer golden glow to the skin and you can use it anywhere on the face or body. You can apply some to the cheekbones, bridge of nose, inner corner of eyes and on the collarbones. 












Ready, SET, & Go
For the final touch, you can literally "set" your makeup in place with a spray that will keep your makeup looking fresh all day!  When sprayed onto the face after makeup has been applied, its sets the makeup to hold in place, that way you don't smear, smudge or get runny.  It truly is a miracle in a bottle.  Use this if you're going to be a big event for a long period of time, for example weddings, birthday parties, or even when going out on the town.  Make Up For Ever Mist & Fix from MAC is perfect. 














Luscious Hair & Nails
Kim is known for her long lustrous black hair and short black polished nails... so what is she using?
For her nails, Kim prefers Essie Nail Polish, Licorice for that edgy look.


Other than black, Kim sometimes wears an army green nail polish by Orly called Enchanted Forest from their Once Upon a Time collection.















For her Kim keeps it shiny with Bumble and Bumble Tonic shampoo to start.  To fight frizz she uses BB or John Frieda. Want your hair to look as shiny as Kim's, then you HAVE GOT TO USE BB SHINE SPRAY - best beauty secret I've uncovered yet!
