How to Contour and Highlight Like Kim Kardashian

Hey everyone, okay so you're going to see a makeover tutorial based on the Kim Kardashian look that was in Glamour Magazine. So let's make a start. The first thing we're going to do is apply some moisturiser to the skin just to prime the skin and to make the makeup go on a little bit smoother. I'm going to start with a bronzer and I'm going to bronze from the neck down and really build up colour here because Lisa's very pale naturally. We want to make sure that the face and body match so I'm using a powder bronzer on the neck and chest area. Next we're going to move into contouring and highlighting. I'm going to highlight the forehead area, down the bridge of the nose and on the chin area. Then we're going to go and heavily highlight underneath the eye and Kim Kardashian is very very famous for this very highlighted under eye area. So don't be afraid of contouring because it's really simple. So once you've highlighted these areas and you'll see them now, these are the areas that will stand out because anything light comes towards us. Next I'm going to take a NARS brush and contour underneath the cheekbones. There you go. Scary. The jawline. And I'm also going to contour the outside corner of the eye area and go up into the temples as well because anything we darken will recede away from us. So you'll see another angle of this now. And cream foundations are amazing to do when contouring because they blend so well. As usual I'm using KET foundation, KET cream foundation here because it just looks beautiful. I'm going to go up into the temple area as well. Now I'm going to take just two stripes of this contour colour right down the side of the nose and then you'll sort of see it here. There we go. That's contouring and highlighting. Take a stippling brush and I'm going to use a shade of foundation that's one shade darker than Lisa's complexion and I'm going to blend all of these colours into one. And what happens is the whole thing moulds in together so you still have highlights and you still have contours without it being noticeable. If you click this video here you'll see another way of doing that Kim Kardashian concealer tutorial because this is one of the things that Kim Kardashian is most famous for at least in terms of her makeup. There you go. You can see the contour and the highlighted areas but none of it screams, you know, there's no real hard lines. It just looks like the skin is glowing. I'm now setting the foundation with loose powder and I'm now going to apply a lighter shade of loose powder underneath the under eye area and this is going to sit here on the skin until I'm ready and I've highlighted the forehead and the chin as well and down the bridge of the nose. I'm just taking a bronzer and just going over the outer perimeter of the face because this is the area I want to recede away from us and it really does give a glow to the skin after you've done that contouring. I'm just going to whisk off the light powder from the forehead and the chin. Taking a Claudia Razz eyebrow brush, I'm just going through the eyebrow to darken it and to thicken the area slightly. Next I'm taking a taupe eyeshadow with shimmer in and I'm applying this all over the eyelid and right the way up to the brow bone as well. Now I'm taking a slightly deeper taupe colour and going into the crease of the eye and I will bring this down onto the outer corner of the lid as well. Taking an Instant Arch brush, I'm applying highlighter to underneath the brow area. Now I'm going to highlight the cupid's bow of the lips because this just really makes the top lip stand out and look even more full and Lisa already has really full lips anyway. Just going to run some of that shadow underneath the eye as well to connect everything and make it a bit more harmonious. Going to start to sweep off this powder now that we had underneath the eyes. Taking a bronze blush, I'm applying this to the cheekbone area and all the products are in the description bar as normal. I'm then going to apply a really bright pink blush really lightly just to the higher planes of the face. I'm now going to line the eyes ever so slightly with a charcoal eyeshadow and this is just an angled brush by Louise Young. We're nearly there. So here you go. You can see just by lining it, it just gives it a little bit more drama. Coffee pencil now into the inner rim of the waterline. I love coffee pencil. I think it's one of the best coal pencils out there. It really looks beautiful. Just going to go over the outside edge of the lips slightly with Spice pencil by MAC and then going to fill in the lip as normal with NARS Sandpiper lip gloss because it's so, so beautiful. Lisa's going to curl her eyelashes now. There we go. So give the eyelashes a really good curl and then we're going to apply Smoky Lash Mascara by Makeup Forever and really work this into the root of the lash and pull up. Just going to apply a little bit underneath and you can really see the before and after coming up now from really pale to glowing Kim Kardashian kind of look. So thank you for watching. Your time is always appreciated and I'll see you next time. Bye bye. Your nose is beautiful. Eight shots from the side kind of looks like. Really big. Yeah. I'm looking at it from the side now. I'm absolutely horrified. Right, look straight. Shushy. No, I'm not being funny. Don't start getting funny. That's why I said I'm not being funny. I've done YouTube for a couple of years. People are always saying that. Oh, were you a model once, were you? And I was like, yeah. To be honest, I was. a lot of it was. To be honest with you, I'm not ashamed of it.
