The Kim Kardashian Look

Last night,as I was scrolling through the photos on Instagram, a surprise came upon me. I saw a post from Mr. Mario Dedivanovic. If you haven't heard the name before, *ehem he is the long-time make up artist of Kim Kardashian. The man who defined "contour". I think he's one of the reasons why Kim's popularity has sky-rocketed. The well-sculpted face of the Kardashian is all thanks to this awesome and very talented make up artist. He posted a true photo of his face alongside  a cartoon version of him that he said will be a part of Kim Kardashian's app. I found the cartoon a bit funny because of how thick the eyebrows were! I went and commented on his photo. And omg! He mentioned me on his comments. I never knew the feeling of being star struck until last night. It was just a simple funny answer he gave me but it meant a lot to my whole being. Call me a drama queen but it just is. I've watched tons of tutorials and have seen a lot of different works of artists but I can only name a few to whom I really look up to. Mario is one of my inspiration when it comes to make up. 


I had to do a screen shot as a remembrance of this wonderful moment. :)

I woke up with Mario's comment still in my head. I decided to do a look inspired by his work. I did a Kim Kardashian look. I typically wear either a smokey eye with nude lips or nude eyes with bold lips. If I have enough time to do an elaborate look, I usually go for the heavy make up. I will mention all the products I have used in creating this look.

Prime with Mac Pro Longwear Concealer in NW35
Cream Base--Maybelline Color Tattoo in Taupe
Transition--Naked Palette (abbrev. NP) Naked
Deeper Crease--NP Buck
Brow Highlight--NP Virgin
Lid--NP Sidecar
Outer Corner-- NP Creep
Eyeliner-- Pen Liquid liner by Nichido (from the Philippines) 
Lower lashline--Lorac Pro Palette (abbrev LP) Sable
Inner corner--LP Champagne
Waterline-- Maybelline pencil liner in Silver 
Mascara--Maybelline Great Lash
Eyebrows--Maybelline Brown gel liner

Face:
Primer-- Loreal Studio Secrets Professional
Foundation--Loreal Infallible Make Up
Under Eye Highlight/Concealer--Loreal Touche Magique
Under Eye Powder-- Givenchy
All Over Setting Powder-- Clean and Clear pressed
Bronzer/Contour--Loreal Glam Bronze
Blush-- Nichido in Tomato

Lips:
Mac Velvet Teddy over a pink lip liner

I loved this look. The shades I used are very universal and will suit any skintone. Most of the products I used are L'Oreal. I have a lot of cosmetic products from the drugstore. I don't really agree when they say that these brands such as L'oreal and Maybelline are cheap. When you compare them to the professional brands, of course they're a lot cheaper. As a beginner in make up especially when you're a student, buying a 400 peso worth of mascara from Maybelline is already a splurge. 

 Some of these products I have purchased from the Philippines and here and some are given by my friends and relatives. I'll do some reviews on these brands and all about my favorite products from them.

I hope you liked the look as much as I do. You can try to recreate it and tag me on Instagram @pinaykoloretes.


Sweet dreams and see you again! Kiss and Make Up!
