8. Triple Line Your Eyes

Triple Line Your Eyes Your eyes shouldn't take you two seconds to do. You should line your eyes three different times for the best effect.

***

First, start with a smooth, light pencil to create a soft outline that defines the shape of your eye. Next, grab a liquid liner to add a more dramatic and precise line just along the lash line. Finally, for that ultimate Kim K smolder, use a gel eyeliner to really intensify the look and add depth. Remember to blend slightly for a seamless finish that really makes your eyes pop. This triple-threat technique ensures your eyes are the statement feature of your look, with the staying power for all-day allure.

9. Contour, Highlight Twice, and then Apply Your Blush

human action, person, eating, romance, sense, This is the order you should be following if you want to copy Kim's elaborate makeup routine. Contour your face, then highlight it, then highlight it again, then use blush.

***

When you contour, you're sculpting your features to create that signature Kardashian chiseled look. Use a matte bronzer or contour powder just below your cheekbones, along your jawline, and at the temples. Next, comes the double highlight. Start with a cream or liquid highlighter for a luminous base, then up the ante with a powder highlighter to really make those cheekbones pop. As for blush, smile and apply to the apples of your cheeks for a healthy, radiant flush that perfectly complements the structure and glow you've built up.

10. Widen Eyes with Smokey Shadow

Widen Eyes with Smokey Shadow If you're unhappy with the size of your eyes, you can use your eyeshadow to make them look wider.

***

smoky eyeshadow isn't just about creating drama; it's a tool for optical illusion. Begin by blending a light shade on the inner corner of your eyes, which instantly illuminates and appears to open them up. Gradually work a darker hue towards the outer corners, using a windshield wiper motion to blend, and lightly extend beyond the lash line. Don't forget to smudge a bit of the dark shadow along your bottom lashes as well—this continuity gives the impression of a wider, more captivating gaze. Remember, blending is key for a seamless, enigmatic look.

11. Use a Beauty Blender

Use a Beauty Blender These should be your best friends. It's the best way to apply your foundation.

12. Moisturize Your Face before Applying Your Makeup

    I agree with most of the points but just one thing I would like to add is that, the makeup before hair works for me in a way but I guess it's how it works for everyone, it's not a must do.

    you do your makeup before your hair for multiple reasons. 1: the reason stated, getting makeup in your hair after you've fixed it sucks. 2: the oils and products that are used in your hair can transfer onto your face and therefore effect the way your makeup goes on and looks at the end. you could just wash your face after doing your hair but seriously, if your hair is flawless, thoroughly washing your face without messing up at least the edges is hard. 3: idk if anyone else has this problem but a lot of times when I decide to do something new with my makeup, it always looks a tad bit more dramatic than intended. so if I had decided to do an edgy or dramatic hairstyle that day then proceeded with my makeup routine only to have that happen, I'd probably look over done. so I do my makeup first because if My makeup turns out more than expected, I can dress it down with my hair to balance it out and get away with it.

    If you are using heat on your hair, always do your hair first. The heat from the tools can not only make you sweat, which would ruin your makeup, but it also melts the makeup and allows it to more easily sink into your pores, causing buildup and breakouts
