Kim Kardashian reveals her beauty secrets
THERE isn’t much we don’t know about Kim Kardashian. But this is the first time we’ve been allowed a peek inside her makeup bag and how she creates her signature look.
THERE isn’t much we don’t know about Kim Kardashian — we’ve seen inside her marriage, her home and even inside her butt.
But this is the first time we’ve been allowed a peek inside her makeup bag at all the products she uses to create her signature look.
Kim clearly doesn’t shop at Priceline like the rest of us — her cleanser alone costs $76 and she has a laser machine in her house. But arguably the world’s most famous woman isn’t immune to skin issues like psoriasis and dryness like us mere mortals.
Here are six things we learned from her interview with beauty blog Into The Gloss:
She loves makeup wipes.
“I always need a makeup wipe. I find that I can’t really take my makeup off without it. I use the Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Towelettes. They take off everything but really gently — even mascara! I used to just go on a flight, fall asleep in my makeup, and not care. Now I really wash it off — first with a wipe, and then I use the By Terry Pureté de Rose Refreshing Cleansing Gel.”
She has a different makeup artist for different moods.
“Different makeup artists make you look totally different,too. Mario [Dedivanovic] makes me look the most ethnic. Joyce Bonelli makes me look the most glam. This one makeup artist, Rob Scheppy, makes me feel in-between glam and myself. He does me really tan — I can’t explain it. [Laughs] Everyone has a style, and I like the different vibes.”
She’s obsessed with rose-scented products:
“I actually love [rose] scent for everything. My fragrance right now is rose, and all of the scents in our Kardashian Beauty and Kardashian Beauty Hair lines are rose”
She has dry skin and psoriasis.
My skin is more on the dry side, so I need a really thick moisturiser all the time ... I have this at-home LED light therapy machine called Quasar MD Plus that I got for my psoriasis because I’ll try anything. I used to have it so bad on the back of my legs. I had a lingerie photoshoot once, and it was just covering my legs. I have the behind-the-scenes pictures, and it’s pretty crazy. Now I just have two patches that won’t seem to go away, but the rest have gone away ever since I had the baby.”
She knows the power of paying a professional to do your eyebrows.
“I look so different when I have my eyebrows done. Anastasia Soare [of Anastasia Beverly Hills] does my brows. For two years she was asking me if she could do them, and I was like, ‘No, I don’t need it,’ because I would just do it myself. But then I let her, and it changed my life — my whole face looked different. I used to make them really square in the middle, and she rounded them a little bit.”
She only washes her hair every 5 days.
“For my hair, I don’t wash it every day. We start out with a blowout on day one, then we go into a messier vibe the next day, and then we flat iron it and do a really sleek look on day three since that requires a little oil in the hair. Day four could be a slicked-back ponytail, and on the fifth day is when you wash it. That’s a little excessive, maybe. [Laughs]”
