I've been getting lot of request for more Kim Kardashian's looks
and you know if I'm gonna do a and celebrity look I don't think you need to
look like the celebrity
I think the point of this celebrity look I mean Amber does look like Kim Kardashian
umm whether she wants to or not (laughs)
the point isn't necessary looking just like them it's concentrating on
what makes their look specific
and you doing those type of things also I've
gotten a lot a request for a Kim Kardashian smokey eye look and what
is specific about her when she wears a smoky eye is its
always very metallic, a deep metallic shade
and she doesn't darken next to the eye quite as much as many people do
with a smoky eye so on Amber for smokey eye I'm actually gonna lighten
with a concealer pencil the inside wet tissue of her eye
because that is what would make it more of a Kim Kardashian smoky eye
like with any other smokey eye and this makeup tutorial I'm going to do
the dark to light effect
I really wants her to have some light at the base
I talk about this is being more wearable
Kim does this on her smoky eye all the time
because she doesn't want it to close her eye in cause in reality Kim Kardashian's eye's could
close in quite easily
so in order for her smoky eye to work she does this I'm going to take
a
cream beige and I'm gonna go ahead and lighten this inside corner
I do this lots of time to smokey eyes to make them more wearable
this is part of her signatures I said
now
most times I'll go over this with just a matte beige In this case, I'm gonna mix a
matte and a shimmer because the whole look
with Kim's smokey eye is that shimmery
sparkly effect you have the
longest eyelash naturally It's like you have false eyelashes on
they're amazing okay sorry focus people I'm now gonna go over a layer
of shimmer and matte remember when you layer shimmer and Matte what you touch first
against the skin what you touch 2nd is on top so when I grab my color
I'm going to grab I'm gonna touch the shimmer first and and the
Matte seconds now I'm any use a veery Beigey champagny color
if I went to white on Amber it would look too ashey
So I'm gonna layer first my matter beige then I'm gonna put the
shimmer on top as I'm applying to my brush but this gives you an idea of the kind
colors I'm using
I'm using this for the lightness but I want that warmth this color has
in order to prevent it from going too ashy on Amber's skin
she's got a lotta rich alll of the deepness to her skin
so I'm gonna touch
shimmer first the matte second
so the Matte is against your skin and I'm padding it in on more than wiping it on
to get lotsa color there
shimmer
first matte second
now I'm gonna take a darker matte beige
show you the difference This is the one I used underneath
her lid this is the color I'm using on her brow bone
because I want to make sure that the brow bone is not too
light because then it would overtake
using a little darker of a beige
and actually in trend right now in period with makeup
your brow bone is not as lightly highlighted as your lid
and you could just skip it but
that shatter gives you something to blend with and
you'll notice that after I applied it gave me an even prettier edge to her brow
so it does help there's reasons for having it I'm now going to take my
midtone in its just a nice
kindof ochery Matte midtone
because of her skin tone if I went too toapy it would end up looking ashy
so it has a little bit of ocher or Omani shade to it
this is what works best so i'm gonna take that nice Omani
ocher mid tone and I'm gonna start to apply at the base of the lash line using my number 27 brush
remember its more flexible and apply able so it gives you that color
distribution and blending that you want again starting at the base of the lash line
because we want most of our color
or the most intense application of the color at the base the lash line
starting to deepen that lid
and you going over the area you highlighted because you want to blend that in
use with that little bit of lightness left there
then going taking our 28 brush which is our clean blending brush
I'm just gonna blend out that edge
we're gonna do another layer just for depth
now remember whatever you're doing a look, any eye look
you have to have one Matte and so I usually
chose it to be my Mid tone so even though we're about to put a very mettalicy
shimmery fun accent
for her smoke by starting with this nice Matte Mid tone
It grounds everything and helps shape the eye
okay now in order to kinda get a look of what I'm doing you know me I gotta see
some lashes
so I'm gonna do a little curling although amber barely needs curling
(open and look down for me) I will say that she's one of the few women I've ever
been able to say
that about that has not been prone to have any
just to get a little more lift to the raise
because she has got crazy long eyelashes
you probably never curled so this is probably freaking you out
I mean your lashes are like you put a strip of false eyelashes on
when God sent lashes you got in line two or three-time
okay
so we are just gonna do a light layer of mascara
(open and look down for me. There you go) now you'll notice that with amber all I did was
conceal
and powder her lash her lead and then did a little bit a foundation above her brows
so I can put her brows on
because I'm doing a smoky eye
I did not wanna do her foundation first now because we're doing a Kim Kardashian look
it's really about what your highlighting and contouring so I really wanted to save to do it
one time
so I only
did what I needed to do to paint her eyes because I want to be able to clean up
all that I dropped from doing the smoky eye
so that her Foundation will be perfect
alright now we're going to start with our fun shimmery
color and I'm gonna do
do a pretty bronzy color because I think it looks so beautiful with your skin
tone
once again starting at the base, blending it out
then keep in mind because we're doing a Kim Kardashian inspired
smokey eye we don't wanna make its so
intense that we can't see the liner because she is all about that liner
blending it out
I think you can really see why it was important to highlight the inside corner
in doing this because
by keeping that area lighter really is helping
keep the eye open now I'm gonna take that same
bronzy shimmery color
and I'm just gonna take my thirty brush so I can concentrate a little bit heavier
at the base of the lashes to get more color there
you'll notice that I'm padding the color on and then blending it out so I get
the main part of that color right at the base
and then blend it up and out
now I'm gonna go ahead and brush of some of this excess that has fallen
eventually I'm gonna clean it off completely with eye cream
But I don't necessarily wanna
look at right alright now I'm gonna line
(look down for me) just keeping it as close to lash line as possible
we're gonna come back with
shadow and a brush so if it's not perfect don't worry about it
its just you get an intensity from liner that you can't get from just shadow
now we are gonna take our
using number18 brush and some matte black shadow
we are gonna go (open and look down for me)
we're gonna go right over what we lined just scrubbing that color into the base
to blend everything out
now
and when you get to the outer edge take that brush
after you scrub it down barely pull up
so you just feather out that line just ever so slightly
barely feathering it out giving it some of a blend
remember signature to Kim
even on a smoky eye is that liner so we wanna make it
so visible but we wanna blend it out slightly now normally
for any Kim Kardashian you would have to follow it with huge
false eyelashes but Amber has them naturally
so we're gonna just go over her lashes with
a really good amount of mascara, one of my favorite
lashes for the Kim Kardashian look is Matte number 35's
a trick about this lash that I was just I was reminded of talking with Amber
you've gotta curl the lash before use it otherwise they are kind of weird because
they stick
out they don't really have a curve to them they won't lay as pretty so curl the
lashes at the base the false lashes
also one of the things
after you do a smokey eye before I start my mascara work
I'm just gonna run a brush right along her lashes
to knock off any color that her lashes have caught
which is quite common if they will and if you don't knock it off
before you finish as she goes through the
the evening, the day if she's
a wild woman a wears a smoky eye during the day
you will start to have drip-page and it will get down to your
foundation and you don't have the perfection that you created there
and originally okay so now I'm going to start to do mascara
I'm going to use at this point I am going a building mascara
instead of my usual defining
(look down for me) I'm just gonna start to really get
do a nice good coat like any time you need too a coat of mascara
(It smells good) it does!! Isn't it bizzare
it has they put perfume in it normally mascara's smell bad
because it has that kind of that funky chemically smell this has
(it's the bizarre-est thing) It still kinda freaks me out every time I use because when I first opened it I was like
because I'm not used to mascara smelling good I will never forget the first time
some one had me smell mascara
and I was like UHHH... Because I never thought
to smell it
combing them after you've put the mascara on there on there because we're just using
mascara
and we are using a building so I'm gonna make sure they stay nice and
separated. combing it while it's still wet
and really make sure to get those inside lashes
(look down for me)
to really give you the volume we need to all the way across to make everything look its best
and if you're wearing false make them really blend well
now I'm going to clean up
everything we dripped
first by knocking off the majority of it then I'm gonna take
eye cream
make it nice and clean as well as moisturize that area
I know
and that's what came off of it so you know why its soo important to clean it off afterwards
cause there is no way I mean you can try to be perfect about it but
the smoky eye they're just everything goes everywhere
you've got much color going on alright now remember we're doing a Kim Kardashian look
so it's all about highlighting and contouring
and you've even seen on the Internet all her pictures of highlighting and contouring
I'm first gonna start by starting to apply her natural shade
all over her face get some nice good coverage
and giving us something to Blend our Highlight and our contour with
always when you gonna highlight and contour like we are
for Kim Kardashian look
you've gotta have your natural shade on first for you to blend with
just
nice in layer
layer of her natural shade
now we're gonna start to with our lighter highlight shade
and I'm gonna take (look up for me) and I'm gonna start to apply it to the area's we want it to be highlighted
underneath the eye
look straight into that camera with your face and you can see how much that brightens her face and starts to create that
shape
so that's our goal to highlight so do the other eye
its all an illusion people
it's all an illusion then we are going to take
a darker shade
and we are going to contour
now I'm gonna take just the tinniest bit on my sponge
I'm gonna start to apply where I want it
right underneath that cheekbone just really accentuate the cheekbone
I'm gonna blend it out
yeah these sponges are amazing
then a tiny bit not more than I want
on the temples
and don't worry, I am going to reinforce all this with powders, bronzer
highlight powder
okay so now we're going to reinforce that highlight
as well with powder (look up for me)
so I'm gonna use my highlight powder to non shimmer highlight powder in my highlight areas underneath the eye on top of
the cheekbone
just padding on some
I'm gonna take a new sponge just a little bit down the center of her nose
and the tip of her chin and I'm
just gonna use her natural shade everywhere else
to blend out where I highlighted
I will say I'm not thankful to Kim Kardashian for much but I am thankful to
her for
teaching women that powder is a good thing
and now i'm gonna go back with a little bit a bronzer
you wanna keep it right so I'm gonna do a very deep one
right underneath that jaw bone and then blending it out
and up on to the temple
using my number 73 brush gives you a very controlled application
number eleven and doing a little bit on the side of the nose
into the brow
yes
this is what that makes your nose look more.. tiny? yeah
not that you have a big nose you don't but even on some of that does.. she does
or she does not have big nose but for a Kim Kardashian look to be more contoured
but even on everybody I for me the faces are one-dimensional
it's got curves in shape and when you put foundation on it kind off flattens
everything out
so going back and putting a ton of bronzer on your nose gives you a
shape back to the face
because otherwise you just make everything one flat color
and that's what makes it look like you're made up verses I mean no one's
gonna incline this look as natural
but cause we did a smokey eye it's what makes the skin look natural
you know when your wearing Foundation now im gonna
finish the eye up now just to be safe because I'm still using some dark colors
and it will give me a bit of extra highlighting I'm gonna do a tiny bit of powder
and leave it kind off heavily on there
so I can go back and just brush it off the end
to catch
any of the eye shadow that might drip
so I'm gonna first start with my Mid tone
just that nice Omani color and brush it right above that lash line
to start to create color
not going
all the way across cause I don't really wanna deepen inside corners
stopping short of it
I'm using it on the other eye
then I'm gonna take my number eighteen brush
some matte black shadow
I'm gonna go right at the lash line and just
we go back and forth to deposit some color
because you want to keep this color tight
then we're going to highlight the inside corner which is not normal for a smokey
eye
using a little bit more of our shimmer and matte mixed together
then im gonna take a Q-tip a little pointy Q-tip
I'm gonna dampen it I'm just gonna clean off that inside ledge
before I go to highlight it
just right along it
there is very little there there's a tiny bit
yes this is for getting like little bitty
detailed things which is why it has a point
then I'm gonna take my concealer pencil and I'm going a lightly
apply it to that inside
ledge
you always wanna do this before you do your bottom mascara so that if you get this
and some of those lashes we can
go back over it with mascara you can see how that opens the eye back up
once again a stereotypical Kim Kardashian trick
I should say
her makeup artist trick let's be clear Kim dosen't
paint her self (look up for me)
redo mascars on the bottom lashes
but take a nice peachy shade (smile for me) apply to the apple's of the cheek
its peachy blush to give that pop of glow
okay then our final step in our Kim
Kardashin esk smokey eye is going to be
a very very nude lip so the first thing I always want to do is just slightly conceal away
or conceal the edges of your lip
and you'll notice that with Kim and her lip she never has an edge to them at all
and since amber has some natural edge to her lip with her color
naturally I want to
really get rid of that color that she
has
and them I'm just gonna go over it with a really beigy
sandy lip gloss
almost exact color of her skin tone so if you're doing it at home
and you're paler skin toned
which many of you probably will be use a paler lip gloss
because this would end up showing up as a color on you
okay now you really do look like Kim Kardashian okay whenever doing a smoky Kim Kardashian
lashes Kim Kardashian look
the important things to remember about the eye we still wanna do a smokey eye
but on for to be signature with Kim
wanna keep this area lighter even though everything else is gonna be smoked out
we also still want a line to the top of the the lid
the smoky shadow isn't quite a smoky also your still gonna line the inside wet tissue
the eye
with the light shade that's kinda signatures her as well with the
face we still want to highlight and Contour because that's so much a part of
her about what her look is about
highlighting the forehead down the nose all this
flat area of the face tip of the chin then we are going to contour
those folds so that it it gives us that shape that were looking for
for for the face Alright so just for reference here's the colors that we used
and we used a face cream shadow beige matte cream shadow first
for that inside corner then we used a Mac cream and a shimmery
I mean a matte beige and a shimmery beige as the highlight
then a darker beige for her brow bone
and then that we used a very almondy ocher
Mid tone because her skin tone is nice and rich and dark
then we used and a very metallicy
coppery contra shade to create the smoky eye
in lining with black and then
of course a very beigy nude lip
little bit of peach on the cheeks as well now we're gonna go away
taker her hair down make her more Kim Kardashian esk and can come back with her final look
