Kim Kardashian’s Video Makeup Lesson: Part IV, Lashes and Lips!

Posted on August 15, 2008 by daneen in Beauty Tips, Celebrities, Kim Kardashian, Video | Leave a comment

I know that you Kim Kardashian fans have been anxiously waiting for the finale of her “Smokey Eye” video tutorial. Today, Kim and her makeup artist, Stephen Moleski, show us how to finish the look with lush lashes and kissable lips.

* Stephen recommends fake eyelashes with a clear base, because they’re more pliable.

* Cut fake lashes to desired length.

* Apply Duo Surgical Adhesive to fake lash strip and let dry until adhesive gets tacky.

* While looking down, slip on lash strip – then press false lashes into your own so they blend.

* Kim uses MAC Select/Sheer Loose Powder in NC45 as a bronzer.

* Sweep a highlighting powder under the eye.

* Remove mascara wand from tube (Kim is partial to MAC Zoom Lash) and wipe excess with a tissue to prevent clumping. Then apply to lashes.

* Line lips with a liner that closely matches your natural lip color (Kim uses MAC Lip Pencil in Stripdown), then blend.

* Fill in lips with a pale lipstick, like MAC Lipstick in Angel.

* Top off those lovely lips with a gorgeous gloss, like Kim’s fave, NARS Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight.

* Finally, sweep a little powder blush onto cheeks; Stephen uses MAC Pro Powder Blush in Shy and Cheek

Did nothing come between Kim and her J Brand jeans?

Posted on August 11, 2008 by daneen in Celebrities, Contest, Fragrance, Giveaway, Perfume | 14 Comments

Though Jessica Simpson’s new fragrance, Fancy, won’t be in stores until later this month, Spoiled Pretty is giving you a chance to nab a bottle of your very own…for FREE. So take that, everybody else!

Created by perfumer Alexis Dadier of Mane Paris, this luminous dewy fragrance is all about floral femininity.

FANCY Jessica Simpson opens with the radiance of sparkling Pear and juicy Apricot Nectar wrapped with the glow of Red Fruits. The heart of FANCY is the captivating draw of dewy Gardenia laced with the delicacy of Night Blooming Jasmine. Toasted Almonds and Caramel notes provide a playful element. Creamy Sandalwood, infused with the sensual energy of Amber Crystals, unites with the embracing warmth of Vanilla Crème as FANCY clings to the skin at dry down.

The fragrance itself is the color of blush champagne, a soft pink, the ultimate color of femininity.

I’m actually wearing Fancy right now, and I love the youthful (not juvenile) and yummy scent. This light, creamy floral will be the perfect scent to transition from hazy summer to crisp fall.

Five readers will receive a 3.4 oz. Eau de Parfum Spray, which retails for $59!

To enter, send an email to spoiledprettycontests@gmail.com. Be sure to include your full name. The subject line should read “Fancy Giveaway.” The contest ends at midnight (EST) on Sunday, August 17th. Five winners will be chosen at random from among the entrants. On Monday, August 18th, I’ll announce the winners’ names. Please, only one entry per person; duplicate entries will not increase your chances of winning. Contest is open to U.S. and Canadian residents only.

Bonne chance!

Kim Kardashian: Keepin It Real-er

Posted on August 10, 2008 by daneen in Celebrities, Kim Kardashian | 6 Comments

The other night, Kim Kardashian was scheduled for two different dinner meetings and didn’t have time for her typical makeup routine. So she slicked her hair in a bun and put on mascara, foundation, blush and lip gloss.

A stylist recently told her that she shouldn’t wear a lot of makeup, so she posted the above photo on her blog for some fan feedback. What do you think of Kim’s lighter look?

Personally, I really enjoy seeing Kim use a less heavy hand when applying her makeup. But, I have to admit…when I look at this pic, I can’t really focus on her face. I’ve got a maja crush on that belt.
