MAKEUP MONDAY: Kim Kardashian inspired spring look

Afternoon, little blogger world and welcome back. Now today instead of rambling on with a 1000 word essay I thought I'd just do a Makeup Monday and show you a picture of my inspiration Makeup and then show you my little recreation of it and at the end just list the products I used? That sounds simple and easy for a Monday right!

Okay so before I get started, please just prepare yourself for a no makeup selfie, It freaks me out to do it but hey you have to get out of your comfort zone sometimes and today is just one of those days. Hope you guys enjoy my little Kim Kardashian inspired makeup look and look out for more of these unplanned blog posts as I am one of thee most last minute, unorganised people ever x happy blogging huns!

 Now this little gem I found whilst scrolling through all 1900 of Kim Kardashians Instagram photos, and I was so amazed at how freaking simple and glamourous she looked! It's perfect for a simple spring makeup and yet you could totally take it to that next level by adding false lashes and adding a smokey eye :) However I chose to recreate this as close too hers as I could.
 
Like she says in the post, those are her natural lashes and its just got a cute vibe with the pink cheeks and soft pink lips. I definitely had fun turning myself into Kim K today haha!

Quick look away! haha... ugghhhh I know but shut up. This is my face in the morning, no filter, no makeup, just the natural me. This is my starting canvas.

 

To start off with, I have primed my face, placed foundation down and then have began highlighting the key areas where Kim looks like she has. I hate caking my face up, so I haven't gone too over the top like she has with the highlighter. Mine is a bit toned down, which is exactly how I like it. I like my skin to still be able to breathe haha! Also, at this stage I like to put some sort of chapstick or lip balm on, so once I'm ready for lips, they'll be nice and moist and ready for lipstick or gloss.

 Finally filled in my brow's, tried to keep them a bit natural without too much definition. When I kept looking at the Kim photo, her eyebrows just looked nicely filled in, they don't look over drawn, or as if they are coloured in with a texta, but soft and natural. I've also lightly contoured my cheeks, nothing dramatic. In my opinion, the key to this look is simplicity, nothing over the top, or to dramatic, just soft colours. I use my phone camera which is a piece of crap and the lighting probably wasn't the best but I have added my blush in this picture, but it hasn't really shown up. I used my BH cosmetics 10 blush palette and I mixed a soft purple and a hot pink shade to get a nice soft pink colour.
 

 

 

These two pictures are the finished product! I know I am no Kim K, but when you have different face shapes and features to work with then you won't ever look 100% like her. Once again iPhone cameras are a piece of poo, and my lashes don't look as thick or long as hers but hey, I honestly have never tried to recreate a look before and this was my first attempt EVER and I think I did okay...ish hehe :)

 

In these last two photos,  have done my eyes using my Chichi's Classic Glamorous eye shadow palette. I used a light gold shimmery colour as my base and then mixed a dark brown shimmer with a light purple shimmer in the crease to define my eyes a bit more. I put the same dark brown shimmery shade under my bottom lashes because in the photo of Kim you can definitely see a brown shade in the same place. My eye makeup hasn't really shown up but you can kind of see it ;) Then I've just chucked a few layers of mascara on and a Nyx butter gloss on my lips and Hey Girl! Haha if it isn't too obvious, I also attempted to contour my nose a bit too. In Kimmy's picture you can see her contoured nose quite obviously and I thought heeeeeey why not haha. It is supposed to give off a straight, slimmed nose effect but I dunno, I feel like when people do that sometimes it just looks a bit overdone, just like how I look in this picture LOL.

 

 

Once again, I have managed to write a big novel even though I tried so hard not to bore you all to death but I'll finally leave by listing the products I used in each area. And that will be it I swear! Thanks for coming back guys, and I hope you enjoyed :) see you all on Wednesday and sending you all love. Okay I'll shut up now.... bye.
