Makeup Tips - How to Get Kim Kardashian's Soft Eye Shadow Look

As you probably know I'm a huge fan of KK, her makeup & her fashion.  I posted a link to tips from her makeup artist.  Rather than run out & buy a bunch more makeup, I tried mixing my stuff up to get a light beige with pink overtone.

To do this I first use Lancome's Latte matte eyeshadow as a base.  Then I add Lise Watier's light beige loose eyeshadow powder no 70948 & then 70937 over it.  When U use L.W. loose powders, U must use a dab of Metamorfix with it to hold it.  Then over this, I used Lancome's Burnt Sand.  That tones down the glitter that's in LW's pink and evens it all out.

Then use black or grey smashbox creme eyeliners with a mac eyeliner brush & you're set.

Seems like a lot of work, it's not.  I was really impressed with it & wanted to share.

For long lasting smokey eye makeup, use Smashbox's Cream Eyeliners as eyeshadow and eyeliners, Mac's Fluidline Cream Eyeliner, and Lancome's dry eyeshadow powders. Use the cream eyeliners as eyeshadow & then overlay dry eyeshadow to set it. Use Mac's fine eyeliner brush to line your eyes with black & then a thin line of silver above it and use a good mascara.. ie Lancome 

It seems like a lot of makeup and a lot of work but if U want your makeup to last long & get the pro look, U need these pro multi-use products.  U can do this with any set of colors. Browns, purples, etc..
