Kim Kardashian Makeup Looks │ 社交名媛金·卡達夏的美妝

Kim Kardashian’s Makeup Look

It’s all about the Hollywood glamour when it comes to social media celebrity Kim Kardashian’s signature make-up look! We all know make-up can really do the trick in creating a 3-dimensional face with highlighting & contouring, defining the face with a pair of bold brows & smoldering eyes with thick layers of spidery lashes (lots of mascara & false lashes), feline black liners and cutting crease style eye shadow application.

Whether you like Kim Kardashian or not (it’s a love or hate, right?), you have to admit that her make-up is always well executed!

Kim Kardashian’s personal makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic knows the best when it comes to a well featured make-up look: make one part of the the face stands out the most, and keeping the rest of the face soft, clean and pretty.

What does that mean? For Kardashian’s make-up, the eye area is usually the focus feature of the whole make-up look: strong eye brows & sexy smokey eyes…. the rest of the face? Clean sculpted face with appropriate placement of highlighting & contouring, soft lip colour, and natural looking blush colour for a healthy glow. Once a while, you will see her with her somkey eyes and a bright red lip too for public appearance, she still looks stunning too.

Tommy’s Pro Makeup Artist Tip for Kim Kardashian’s Makeup Looks:

Do the smokey eye FIRST before you work on your face (foundation, concealer, highlight & contour). This way, if there are any dark colour eyeshadow falls onto your cheek, it will be much easier to clean it up.
Use colours that are two shades lighter for highlighting; tow-three shades darker for contouring. Make sure to blend well so the edge looks seamlessly. For more make-up How-To’s in Creating a Perfect Skin & Contouring, please read my previous blog post here.
Contour, Highlight twice, Blush. Take a brush with bronzer fast and furiously go under the chin and down the neck to shade and slim, before focusing on highlighter on the bridge of the nose, light up the Cupid’s bow, chin and just above the cheekbones.
Lots and lots of mascara please, on both top and bottom lashes! Use a deep black color mascara that gives both LENGTH & VOLUME. Add false lashes too for a even more sexy appearance.

L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara

MUA Mario Dedivanovic likes to create the eye-opening effect by wiggling a couple coats of L’Oréal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara from the roots to tips and separating them with a lash comb. Then he painstakingly applies a mix of long and extra-long flared individual lashes—the longest go at the outer corners—using tweezers and black adhesive. Once they’re dry, go over the falsies and real lashes with another coat of mascara.
Curl the lashes (your natural lashes & the false lashes) together after you put on the false lashes. This way, they stick together better and there is no gap in between.
Do use a deep dark black eye liner for this look. Line it all around the eye and wing up at the outer corner of the eye for an instant eye lift look. Eye liner could be in pencil, gel or liquid. Kim likes to use M·A·C Eye Kohl (Smolder) deep into the base of the lashes to create that tight eye liner.
For a strong cutting crease eye application, use a pencil eye liner to draw the line in the crease and the outer eye corner (like in a “<” or “>” shape in the outer corner) and blend it with a smudging brush… this way, the color shows more vibrantly in comparing to using an eye shadow.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz

Do groom your eye brows with a brow gel to keep it stay in place all day long. Kim likes to use Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown to fill in the outer corners, then switched to Light Brown so it’s softer and sweeter-looking when brows aren’t so heavy at the inner corners.

Kim Kardashian Makeup – Highlighting & Contouring

It’s not hard to see why so many people love Kardashian’s makeup looks because the playfulness of the makeup look is dramatic.

If are ever wondering about the products, some of her favorite foundation that she uses are from drug store brands and some are high-end department store brands:

Luminous Foundations – “Dewy skin is always so pretty—and I’ve found that guys are really into it too.”

Lasting Finish 25H Foundation With Comfort Serum | Rimmel

Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation – This liquid foundation ($8 US) has serum in its formula to help the skin glow. It claims to be long lasting in sweat, heat, humidity conditions. The only problem is that it only comes in 7 available shades.

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation

Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation – This foundation ($8 US) is a favorite among many makeup artists for its: texture, great coverage, and wide range of shades. It comes in 24 available shades, while it’s an excellent choice for normal to oily skin types.

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Armani Luminous Silk Foundation – This buildable, medium coverage foundation ($64 US) glows the skin while helps to improve texture and blurs imperfections. Comes in 24 shades to match every unique skin tone.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Foundation – this full coverage, long-lasting liquid foundation ($44 US) is creamy, and it’s packed with vitamin ingredients to protect your skin while providing comfort. It comes in 12 available shades.

Triple Line Your Eyes!

Eye Liner Secret from MUA Mario Dedivanovic

Triple-Line your Eyes. If you only have one eyeliner in your bag, you’re doing things all wrong. “I usually do three or four layers of eyeliner,” said Dedivanovic. First, he works M·A·C Eye Kohl (Smolder) deep into the base of the lashes, then goes over that with M·A·C Liquid Liner (Boot Black), lifting it up lightly at the outer corners slightly and finishes with Anastasia Waterproof Crème Color me Color. Why so much effort? “I do it because it gives beautiful definition and looks more expensive.”

It’s glamorous & sexy, and the appearance photographs beautifully. You can really have fun in “playing” up the look with it.

Now let’s have a look at some of her signature make-up looks!

Beautiful Wedding Make-up Looks & Colour Scheme

18 Feb

Soft & Natural Bridal Make-up Look

With colors you can set a mood, attract attention, or make a statement. There is psychology behind colors, and they tell beautiful stories. By selecting the right color scheme, you can create an ambiance of elegance, warmth or tranquility, or you can convey an image of playful youthfulness.

If you have been a wedding client of mine, you would have seen a Wedding Beauty Look Book in our make-up trial/consultation. I have collected images of various make-up & hair styling looks, and put together a look book so my clients can review the images and get ideas of what they like.

It is like asking the client to bring tear sheets of their preferred looks, except for we have it all here laid out for the clients–and this is my customer service for the clients. But in general, I still would like my clients to bring their preferred looks so we can all get an idea.

By having a look book with categories for my clients to review, my team can professionally & clearly communicate with the clients in what make-up & hair style she likes, and we can also give inputs on what we think will work better on the clients. This is exactly what clear communication comes in place, so there are no guessing games; we don’t want any of that guessing games for a beautiful wedding look!

For weddings, I created and categorized bridal make-up looks into 5 color schemes.

Tommy’s Eye Shadow Palette 1

Five Wedding Make-up Color Schemes

Bronzy/Beach: golden, bronzy, tanned colours
Classic/Elegance: neutral colours (brown, taupe, earthy, beige)
Glamour: smokey or bright colours in strong colour payoff
Romantic: pastel pinks, plums and purples
Soft & Natural: light earthy, peachy, light neutral colours

Each colour scheme has a theme that will suit the client’s wedding style, and the client can choose the style based on colour preferences, wedding theme/location, seasons, flower and its colour arrangements, and/or thier skintones.

· 1. Bronzy/Beach Wedding Look

Bronzy Bridal Make-up Look 1

The Bronzy/Beach Wedding Look is great for the brides who love that sun-kissed look! It is ideal for outdoor & beach weddings, or for those who simply prefer a natural tanned look. The feature of this look is to use bronzer to enhance the skin colour to a sun-kissed appearance, subtle bronzy glow on the skin, with using golden, brown & tanned shades on the eyes. Stronger contour could be emphasized with this look (eyes, face, and neck) to blend in with the tanned colours.

Bronzy Bridal Make-up Look 2

Some great M·A·C eye shadow colours for the eye make-up look are: Amber Lights, Bronze, Woodwinked, Mulch, or Tempting. Make sure to match the bronzy face colour to the neck and body so it looks naturally tanned and well blended.

· 2. Classic/Elegance Wedding Look

Classic/Elegance Bridal Make-up Look 1

The Classic/Elegance Wedding Look is your traditional make-up look with a crispy clean overall appearance, and with a little emphasize on highlighting & contouring on the eyes and the face (not too much). The colour scheme is neutral shades, and it is the most ideal look for those who wish to have their photos taken and remain looking timeless and never outdated.

Classic/Elegance Bridal Make-up Look 2

The texture of make-up used for this look prefer to be demi-matte finish with no strong shimmers and glitters. Classy & Timeless if what we aim for in this look.

Classic/Elegance Bridal Make-up Look 3

Some great M·A·C eye shadow colours that I like for this eye make-up look are: Vanilla, Shroom, Brule, Soft Brown, Wedge, Espresso, Print, Brun, or Scene.

· 3. Glamour Wedding Look

Glamour Bridal Make-up Look 1

The Glamour Wedding Look is about having a stronger emphasize in texture, colour intensity & payoff with a focus on the eyes and/or lips. A light smoky eye with a brighter brow bone highlight and full set of false lashes is an example of the glamour look. A much stronger highlighting & contouring on the face is needed for a more 3-dimensional sculpted face.

Glamour Bridal Make-up Look 4 East Indian

Another great example is those gorgeous Filipino or East Indian bridal make-up look with tons of bright eye/cheek colours, strong lip colours, winged up black eyeliners, double false lashes, henna tattoos, bright color lips, and all the glitters and gems in accessories & jewelries… it’s all about looking like a classy version of a glamour queen in the special day!

A subtle shimmer or glitter on the right placement of the eyes, face and body is OK for this glamour bridal look, but make sure the glitters are NOT all over the place, or else you will look like a glitter ball—definitely not recommended for a bridal look.

Glamour Bridal Make-up Look 3

I have a special eye shadow palette that I often use for doing glamour make-up looks. It is a salon-exclusive brand that I custom made from Taiwan’s International Cosmetics Exhibitions. This palette has eyeshadows of the most amazing micro-glitters, and very high colour payoff pigments. This eyeshadow palette is also great for evening eye make-up for the brides.

Tommy’s Eye Shadow Palette 2

There are some other M·A·C eye shadow colours that I like to use for this look as well: Phloof!, Contrast, Plumage, Smut, Shadowy Lady, Embark, or Sketch. If I was to do an East Indian bridal make-up, I could be using some of the brightest fashion eye shadow from my palettes with strong black eye liners (liquid or gel formula for dramatic effects) & well-defined eye brows!

· 4. Romantic Wedding Look

Romantic Bridal Make-up Look 1

The Romantic Wedding Look is great for those brides who like the dreamy type of wedding style with a sweet look on their face. The main colour scheme for this look is filled with pastel pinks, plums and purples, mixed with grey colors. Those colour blend well together because they are Analogous Colors (colors that are next to each on the color wheel), thus they blend beautifully together.

Romantic Bridal Make-up Look 2

The make-up artist must be skilled to use these shades to avoid making the bride looking too tired with red-pinkish eyes. A lot of fair skin tone, or cool skin undertone Asian brides like the Romantic look a lot. This colour scheme really compliments the fair Asian skintone, and a brighter pink blush colour goes really well with this look.

MAC Eye Shadow Quad for the Romantic Wedding Look

Some great M·A·C eye shadow colours that I like for this eye make-up look are: Yogurt, Blackberry, Trax, Girlie, Digit, Shale, Beautiful Iris, Knight Devine, or Parfait Amour, which is a combination of the colours of pink, purple and plums. The overall feeling of this colour scheme gives is romantic, sweet, and dreamy.

· 5. Soft & Natural Wedding Look

Soft & Natural Bridal Make-up Look 1

From my make-up experiences, the Soft & Natural Wedding Look is probably the most popular look for daytime bride in North Americas. Most wedding make-up artists will tell you to look like yourself on your wedding day, especially for the daytime look. Of course, with cultural variations, some Asian or East Indian brides prefer to have a high glamour look on their wedding day too.

Soft & Natural Bridal Make-up Look 2

The Soft & Natural look is somewhat similar to the Classic/Elegance Wedding Look with a very clean, fresh overall appearance. None of the facial feature should be too strong. The colour scheme is in light earthy or peachy, apricot colour tones; the skin should give a natural soft glow without looking too matte or dewy (too much glow). The goal is to achieve an enhanced version of the bride’s natural beauty.

To achieve the look, some great M·A·C eye shadow colours that I like to use are: All that Glitter, Naked Lunch, Ricepaper, Arena, Texture, Expensive Pink, or Jest. A light pink and/or peach colour on the lips will just make everything look wonderful for your day time bridal look!
