The Kim Kardashian Look.

Do you love The Kim Kardashian look? Or do you need a helping hand with those cheekbones! Well the Kim Kardashian contour secret is the one to use! In this I'm going to be telling you how to do the Kardashian contour look and also at the end I will show you a video of me completing the Kardashian look with her black smokey eyes, so you're ready to wear it on a night out!

The first thing you need to do is get your everyday foundation and lightly cover your face, covering all blemishes creating a airbrushed effect.

- Next you need to get your hands on a cover up that is two shades lighter than your skin tone and another one that is two or three (if you want to go very drastic) darker than your skin tone. Ladies no need to get anything pricey! 

Products I will be using as a base in this tutorial are:

1) MAC makeup - Studio fix foundation £21.50.

I am using this as my natural foundation. It's a really nice everyday foundation, its not too thick on the skin.

2) MAC makeup - Studio finish concealer £15.

I'll be using this as my lighter concealer. If you're in need of an everyday concealer for blemishes or spots I highly recommend this. Not much is needed for a perfect cover!

3) Natural Collection - Foundation £1.99

I'll be using this as my darker concealer. You can use a liquid or a compact foundation or concealer. I went for a cheaper brand as it won't be going all over your face, it will work perfectly for this look! No need to spend a lot of money!

After you have preped your face lightly with your natural foundation you will need to apply your dark and light concealers in the correct places to emphasise the correct areas.

- All places on my face marked with BLACK circles is where the dark concealer should be placed.

- All places on my face marked with RED circles is where the light concealer should be placed.

Once you have completed all the dark and light lines on your face you will then need to use your foundation brush to lightly blend it all in.

TOP TIP: Don't blend in too harsh as you will still need to tell the difference between the dark and light areas as this will be creating your shadowing, which will enhance your facial structure.

Foundation brush I have used:

MAC makeup - 187SH Duo Fibre Brush.

I love this brush for foundation as I feel it blends your makeup so well.

Once you have blended in all your concealer feel free to go over it with a bronzer just to add a slight shimmer and extra shading.

Brush I use for power contouring:

MAC makeup - 109 Small Contour Brush.

Once you have completed all the blending it should look a little bit like the pictures below. As you can see my cheekbones and jaw look much more pronounced. Also my forehead looks smaller and my noes looks slimmer! It does wonders! 

- If you want to create a more drastic look feel free to keep adding the light and dark concealers until you are happy with it! Everyone is different!

After I completed my Kim Kardashain contouring I wanted to complete my hole face so I was ready to party! 

Here's a video of a quick and easy Kim Kardashian smokey eye!

Step one - Prime your eye lids to create a bolder eye shadow colour.

Step two - Use a base eye shadow, any whites or natural colours is perfect. 

Step three - Get a black eyeshadow and blend into the sockets of your eyelids. Also blend over the eyelids to create the smokey effect.

Step 3 - To add some shimmer to my eyes I used a silver eyeshadow and just placed it in the sockets of my eyelids. (DO NOT use it all over the eye lids it will become too over the top!).

Step 4 - With the black eyeshadow again run it along the bottom of the eye lid and up in the corners just to shadow the eyelids.

Step 5 - With a blending brush go over the hole eye making sure you've blended it all in and make it as big and smokey as you like.

Step 6 - Add a highlighter to under the brows to make your eyes POP!

Step 7 - Curl and apply your mascara. No upper eyeliner is needed as you don't want to over do it!

Step 8 - Enhance lips by applying a natural lip colour.

TOP tip - When you have a heavy smokey eye try not to have bright bold lips! This could risk you looking over done!

This is the final Kim Kardashian makeup look! Now your ready to hit the town!

How to get fuller lips.

Do you struggle with wearing coloured lipstick? This is something I've always had a problem with! I thought my lips were not full enough to wear any colour. But i have found a solution to create a big bold lip that looks more natural than ever and I'm going to share it with you!

Firstly I'm going to show you with a lip colour of deep red to show you this technique can be worked with drastic colours!

1) First choose your colour lip liner that matches your lipstick (unless you want to create a fading lip).

- Now instead of creating your outer line with lip liner on the rim of your lips you need to draw it on the outside of your lips.

- So you're actually drawing the line on your skin but touching the rim of your lips.

- This just adds that extra line to make your lips look way more plump!

Below is what you lips should look like once you've gone around the whole lip with your lip liner.

2) Then with your lip brush (I'm using the EMITE MAKE UP BRUSH L312) you will need to blend in your lip line so this makes it look more natural and not as harsh.

- Blending it in will also help you get away with this extra bit being your normal fuller lip!

3) Lastly with the same lip brush, you will need to get some of your chosen lipstick colour and paint in your whole lip.

- do go right to the edges to smooth it all in together and again to help the line look like your natural lip.

Once you have finished, your lip should look like this, So much fuller! Now you can go out with a more confident bold smile as well!

Here are the products I used in this tutorial if any of you loved them just like I do!

Lipstick - CHANEL, Lotus rouge.

Lip liner - MAC make up, Burgundy. 

(This is a great liner if you want a deep red lip). 

If any of you feel the red I used is not your tone here's some other red tones that are my favourites as well!

1) MAC make up - Dubonnet.

This is a great deep red that goes perfectly with the burgundy lip liner I used in the tutorial!

2) NARS make up - Flamenco.

A lovely rather light red. Would suit pale skin amazing!

3) MAC make up - Deep in love.

This is a really deep red that would look great on dark haired ladies!

Don't be fooled everyone! This technique can be used with a natural everyday lip as well! Just go by the same rules but use a natural colour!

Products used for a natural look.

1) Lipstick - CHANEL, Soleil nature.

2) Lip liner - MAC make up, Boldly bare lipliner.

Again heres some other natural lipstick i would highly recommend.

1) MAC make up - Angel.

Really good natural lipstick if you want quite a pinky tone on your lips.

2) MAC make up - Hue.

This is a bit of a softer pinky tone than Angel, but will also create the same effect.

3) MAC make up - Viva glam.

Such a good natural lipstick if you're going out. Colours the lip with a natural tone but leaves a very nice glisten.
