I havent been blogging for a while and i realized that people do actually read my blogs and im happy about that =]] and i seriously need to start doing more blogs but from the time i was away i have been gathering my thoughts and i discovered new make up techniques and tricks ..anyways for this post i decided to do a tutorial on how to do a kim k. smokey eye.
Foundation
- before applying foundation i always apply primer, the primer i use is Napolean Perdis Auto Pilot and i paid about $40 but you can definitely get a cheaper alternative which is still great and its the Loreal- "studio secret professional secret No.1 magic perfecting base" which is about $12.99 at ulta (btw i also purchased the napolean pilot primer from ulta, jus in case u were wondering where to get it) after you apply primer, let it set for 2 minutes and apply your foundation with your fingers or a brush
NOTE: if you apply foundation with your fingers it will set it better onto your skin but remember to wash your hands extremely well before doing so.

- theres two ways you can do the kim k. smokey eye you will achieve the same look (somewhat). before you begin apply your primer ( i used painterly paint pot from mac) but u can use whatever you want. after applying primer i used m.a.c. satin taupe which is a "mushroomy" color but you can use the revlon eyeshadow quad in - Champaigne toast $6.49 ( the very bottom color is the one you will need to apply). use the same mushroom color and apply it to your bottom lashes. then when your done use any gel liner u have, you can use H.I.P. which you can buy at walgreens or cvs, line the top of ur eyes and line your bottom lashes as well. then take a shimmery black eyeshadow (i used black tied from m.a.c.) and begin from the middle of ur eye (where the liner is) and make a line to the end of your ( think of a right triangle) so you basically need to make a right triangle on ur eye, you want it to be really thick black on the ends of ur eyes and let the intensity decrease as you go towards your inner eye. after your done, just blend, add mascara, and ur done.

-This look is a little more easier to achieve, you will need a shiny eyeshadow primer i used the urban decay primer potion in Sin which was $18.00, but you can use NYX shadesticks which cost $6.99. after your done take any cheap pencil eyeliner and line your bottom lashes as well as lining ur lids. take any smudger brush also known as a sable brush and smudge your bottom lashes and smudge the liner on your lids, make sure you smudge to the point where it looks like you have a dark shadow applied on ur eyes just below the crease of ur eye ( remeber when u smudge the top , try to extend the eyeliner up) after smudging take any copper colored eyeshadow you have ( u can even use gold) and apply it over the smudge black on ur lids, and extend the color above your lid crease, when your done take any shimmery black ( u dont have to use shimmery black, i just like how shimmery black looks) and apply it to the corners of your eye and make sure you blend very welllllllllll .
The Copper color you applied should look smokey, if it doesnt sweep on a little bit of your black eyeshadow over it . when your done add liquid liner to your top lids and mascara.

Lips
-For both of the kim k. looks i used M.A.C. - cherish and i applied a moca colored gloss over my lips but you can use Rimmel London - Dusty Rose $5.99 , you can also use rimmel london -summer angel. i did apply lip liner but it isnt necessary, if you do want to apply lip liner use a light or medium brown color liner and smudge it lightly with a q tip before applying your lipstick.
Cheeks
- For cheeks i contoured with Blunt from mac but you can even use brown eyeshadow and contour, jus be careful not to over do it. after contouring , i recommend u use a cream blush since it sets better, and blush depends on your skin color, just make sure you dont over do it with the pink, it has to look neutral since the eyes are so intense.
* if anyone is confused about a certain part, comment and i will be happy to explain :)
