Keeping Up With Kim Kardashian’s Lips
Every beauty girl I know is at least slightly obsessed with the perfection that is Kim Kardashian’s makeup.
Flawless skin? Check. Mile-long lashes? Check. Smoky eyes, just-pinched cheeks, glossy lips? Check, check, check. Let’s face it: the girl is a rare species, but she sure knows how to work the lipstick trends.
While Kim’s signature look is a nude or pink lip, she looks quite amazing with bold berry or bright red lips. I have to admit my favorite look here is the MAC Ruffian Red lipstick Kim’s wearing in the top right photo. Gorgeous!
For lips like Kim Kardashian, try these tips:
- Pick an opaque shade that’s not too sparkly. (Kim usually has a smoky eye situation that refuses to be upstaged by some sparkly lipgloss!)
- Line and fill in lips with a lip liner before applying lipstick for lips that will last all night long.
- Top with a hint of gloss just on the bottom lip to add fullness.
What’s your favorite Kim Kardashian lip– nude, pink, berry or red?

i also like her nude lip look better since she always piles on eye makeup, and it is best to do plain lips then

I really love Kim with a nude or pink lip but I have to say I’m digging the berry as well. Perhaps if the photo with her wearing red lips were not so bright it would look better but I can’t say I’m enjoying it from what I can see.

I think peachy-nude lips suit her olive-tan skintone the most. The red lips only look good cos of the flash (which made her paler) and compliments her black her, but from what I’ve seen so far, Kim is very tan in actuality. So yea, I go with the majority on the nude lips.

She uses Belle de jour by NARS for a matte nude lip with MAC striptease liner ( i believe thats what its called). For a glossy nude lip the lipstick is MAC angel.
