Kim Kardashian's 50-Step

Daytime Makeup Routine

THE MARIO/KIM BEAUTY ROUTINE
As you'll see, this routine is impossible to reproduce, with custom lip colors and not-yet-on-the market
products, but here's a step-by-step to how Mario gives Kim her famous face.
1. Usually there's hairspray on the face, so clean the face off first with a wet wipe.
2. Start with an emollient moisturizer, Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer, using a white beauty blender.
This goes on every part of the body that is visible.
3. Brush eyebrows with Anastasia Beverly Hills #14, but just the spooly part.
4. Next up: cream foundation. Use Giorgio Armani #7 and #9 mixed, otherwise, Bobbi Brown Stick
Foundation. Use an It Cosmetics Double Ended Brush or for heavier application, Trish McEvoy brush.
5. Blend with damp beauty blender sponge. Kim is anal retentive about neck coverage being applied up
the neck rather than down because shes scared of wrinkles.
6. Add the POREfessional: Agent Zero shine powder under eyes, where you will later apply concealer.
7. Apply MAC Lip Balm.
8. Use MAC Powder Puff to protect underneath the eyes as you work on the eye area.
9. Apply Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Brown in the outer corners, with a lighter color towards the
nose.
10. Next: Anastasia Brow Pro Palette to fill in some of the brow, also.
11. Twinkle Pop Eye Stick from Marc Jacobs, using a Sigma e46 inner corner brush all over the eye.
12. Highlight the browbone with Charlotte Tillbury Golden Goddess Palette, using a Stila #15 brush.
13. So Hollywood by Anastasia Beverly Hills this is a highlighter for the face. It comes out late
August.
14. Put MAC FIX+ on a wet brush, the one used for highlighting. For very center of the eyes.
15. Kevyn Aucoin eye pigment in Titian, used in the outer corners.
16. Dolce Vita Eyeshadow by Charlotte Tillbury.
17. Put on MAC Liquid Liner in Boot Black using the Anastasia #3 brush in a very fine line. Mario uses
the brush so the color of the liner doesnt change in the pot each time you re-dip it.
18. Anastasia Cream Color in Jet, with the same brush.
19. Surratt Eyelash Curler (which is preferred over Shu Uemura).
20. Time for Dermacolor Camoflage System concealers. For Kim, the colors change every day but it is
usually some combination of D1, D50, D51.
21. Use Giorgio Armani eye tint with a beauty blender.
22. Benefit Porefessional (used previously) to set undereyes.
23. Scorch by Urban Decay eyeliner under eyes.
24. Charlotte Tillbury Rock n Kohl Barbarella Brown Eyeliner Pencil.
25. Use Lorac #103 brush to blend bottom liner.
26. So Hollywood Illuminator using e46 Sigma brush in inner corner of the eye.
27. Light powder a MAC puffer with Bobbi Brown Loose Powder.
28. L'Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara (or Benefit They're Real). Mario applies this with a finger
on the lid so the mascara doesnt get on Kim's eyelid and ruin the makeup.
29. More MAC Bootblack liner.
30. Add Vintage Vamp Charlotte Tillbury Palette.
31. Cargo Swimmable Eye Pencil in Secret Beach in the inner eye.
32. Blend product with Sigma E17 brush.
33. MAC studio fix powder.
34. Apply Red Cherry lashes: Mario uses a bunch of different kinds, creating custom trays.
35. Elegant Lashes is another brand Mario likes, one he used on Kim that day.
36. Black DUO lash glue, always.
37. Anastasia Precision Tweezers to apply.
38. The big moment: Benefit Hoola to contour.
39. Apply with Trish Mcevoy 2B Sheer brush.
40. Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, the bottom middle shade, to contour her nose.
41. Vincent Longo #22 Large Eyeshadow Brush to apply and sculpt.
42. Filmstar Bronze & Glow by Charlotte Tillbury, specifically the highlight.
43. So Hollywood by Anastasia, again on her cheekbones.
44. Add a little bit of Watts Up Highlighter by Benefit as well. This a good cream highlighter Mario
recommends.
45. Too Faced Love Flush Blush in I Will Always Love You using Trish McEvoy #48 Blending
Brush and Sigma E35 Tapered Blending Brush.
46. Kevyn Aucoin Lip Pencil in Medium: Mario's all time favorite pencil, the one he first used on Kim
and continues to use constantly.
47. Preo Eyelash Curler: this curls small sections of your eyelashes. Its super weird and from Japan.
48. Finally! Lip colors: like five from Tom Ford mixed together (all custom, sorry).
49. Spray with MAC FIX+.
50. Use TATCHA Blotting Papers to blot oil, if necessary.
