"How To" Beauty Tutorial: Achieve the Kim Kardashian Look

First, Prep and Prime! Use lighter side of HD Dual Foundation and apply on the eyelids. Then add the lighter color of the HD Dual Pressed Powder on top of the HD Dual Foundation onto the eyes to help the eye shadow last throughout the day.

Apply a thin line of Black Pearl Smudgeproof liquid liner to top lash line. To get Kim Kardashian's vivid eye makeup, use shimmers and dark, bold colors like the Diamond Eyes Eye Palette to achieve the look. With an Eyeliner Brush, use darkest color from Diamond Eyes Eye Shadow Palette to smoke out the liquid liner.

Use darkest colors of eye palette in the crease of eyes to make eyes appear wider and fuller. Use lighter blending colors in center of eye, and light shimmery gold or silver in the inner eye to open them up.

To add accent to the eyes, you can add water to the eye shadow. This emphasizes the eyes and makes them appear glowing with lighter colors and deeper with darker colors.

Next, add one pair of faux eyelashes or even layer one pair of lashes on top of another for more intense looking eyes--Eve uses both the #105 and #107 lashes in this makeover. Watch our False Lashes tutorial here, or stay tuned for our upcoming layered lashes video.

Gently pull the bottom lid down and add the blackout eyeliner pencil to lower lash line for more of the Kim Kardashian drama! Add the final eye shadow touches by going over the outside of lower lash line with a shimmery shadow.

Apply mascara and clean any excess makeup from underneath the eyes by removing it gently with a sponge and priming moisturizer. Now apply your HD Dual Foundation with the reverse contouring technique (follow a basic foundation tutorial here).

Apply Salmon concealer to the under eye area. For that flawless foundation finish, wet your sponge for a smoother application and blend all makeup evenly.

Add a light pinky gloss, just like Kim! And for that finishing touch, add some of the Bronzing Highlighting Trio for overall shimmer and to give your skin that beautiful and healthy looking glow.

There it is! Kim Kardashian in a flash! You can get her look in moments! Have fun!

I think some people are missing the point of this tutorial. Makeup is meant to be fun. This clearly isn't an every day look, but a look for a special occasion,night out on the town, etc. I agree the model is very pretty w/o all the makeup, but I also don't think there is anything wrong with playing with different makeup looks.

Honestly, she looks better before. She is a naturally pretty chick and looks so fake with all of that make-up on. She doesn't need. Some people NEEEEDDDDDD it, others like myself...don't :-)

I agree! That much make-up is too heavy for day. Caking it on doesn't make her look better. She is already pretty. Maybe just a touch of concealer and powder.

Makeup does make a difference, no matter how much or how little you put on a person!

OK, so one HP article talks about how to "get the Kim Kardashian look", and another tries to make a case that KK can win over that Old Navy ad.

Frankly, the woman above is 10x as good looking, so KK should be FLATTERED.

Just overdo the eye makeup and cake on the blush and you're done.

This girl is gorgeous. She looked way better before. I could never fathom how women could wear make-up everyday. I don't mind wearing make-up for going out with your girlfriends or to a fancy event, but every freakin day? Not only is that NOT good for your skin, but that's too much unnecessary work.

I agree--with natural beauty like that, why bother with all the war paint? The make-up looks way overdone.
06:25 PM on 08/01/2011
I agree too, she looks better before!

Honestly, to any women reading this article, I mean this as the most legitimate expression of advice, honestly. Girls, you don't need to undergo all of this manufacturing in order to feel you present a more "beautiful" persona to the world, because most of the time you look amazing before.

The before picture, this girl looks beautiful. Her eyebrows are perfect, wonderful eyes that show character, and a beautiful contrast to her lips and skin. Also the sheen and texture to her hair.

I see a real person who looks stunning and who would instantly elevate my blood pressure.

In the after, it looks so manufactured and fake that she instantly loses all appeal she had. I see another clone who was manufactured. Another face in a magazine that borders on clown-mannequin.

I see a fake person who strives to be someone she is not, and it's not compelling in the slightest.

I mean, I'm not black so I don't know if it's within my place to say, but from having this site going from promoting Chris Rock's movie where he tells his daughter that she is beautiful for what she has, not what she doesn't have, to this spectacle of glamorizing augmenting every facet of your face so that you don't even look like YOU in the end, it's sad to see.

i'm fairly certain kim didnt invent make-up. or how to wear it. or is the only person on the planet that wears it like that.

But don't be photographed in a product's ad.

Kardashian will sue you for looking like her.

Wow! Every item on that list cost from$20 to $40. The entire kit has to be well over $200.

I was thinking the same thing! I thought if they are giving this tutorial they should of used products everyone could afford.

Amazing transformation. She's beautiful anyway, but the makeup makes her look so polished. I hate to admit it but in my younger days I was a makeup diva and would have spent a half hour every morning doing this look.
07:30 PM on 07/28/2011
Hmmm, which should I love more? I can't decide between the flushed cheeks or intense eyes =]
06:42 PM on 07/28/2011
P.S. Be careful trying to look like KIM K.......She may sue you!!!!!
05:55 PM on 07/28/2011
The model is beautiful both pre and post-makover, but I have to say that the transforming power of makeup in a skilled artist's hand is pretty remarkable! I know the lighting/photography is partially responsible, but wow...she looks like a completely different person after the makeover. Why the hell can't I do this at home, lol?
