Fab February: Kim Kardashian Bridal Shower Makeup

Welcome to day three of Fab February. Today's makeup look is inspired by Kim Kardashians' bridal shower makeup. Yes, I know that her marriage only lasted 72 days but that was almost 3 years ago and her bridal shower makeup is still gorgeous 3 years later. So why not do a pretty makeup in the midst of cold and blustery February. This makeup look has a nice flawless base, warm eyes, and sweet pink lips.

Face:
1. Start with a moisturizing primer and blend it all over your face with your fingers or a brush. Unless it is actually your bridal shower you don't have to use a photo friendly primer, so don't worry about finding one. Jessie's Picks: Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Foundation Primer. Korres Greek Yoghurt Nourishing Primer.

2. Pick a sheer to medium coverage luminous foundation and apply it with a buffing brush. Jessie's Picks: L'Oreal True Match Lumi Foundation. Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation.

3. Next take a pink cream blush and blend it along your cheekbones to create a fresh and youthful glow. Jessie's Picks: Maybelline Dream Mousse Blush in Pink Frosting. Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge for Lips and Cheeks in Pale Pink.

4. Set your makeup with a luminous finish powder and a big fluffy brush using a big fluffy brush. Jessie's Picks: Clinique Stay Matte Sheer Pressed Powder. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder.

5. Fill in your eye brows with a matching powder or pencil, and set with a clear brow gel. Jessie's Picks: Benefit Speed Brow. Anastasia Brow Gel.


Eyes:

6. Take a black liquid or gel eye liner and line your top lash line creating a small flick. Make sure to bring the eye liner right into the inner corner. Jessie's Picks: Mac Fluidline in Blacktracks. Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner Pen.

Lips:
1. Line your lips with a waxy pink lip liner to create full lips like Kim's. Jessie's Picks: Yves Rocher Lip Pencil in Rose. Smashbox The Nude Lip Liner.

2. Fill in your lips with a creamy pink lipstick or lipgloss. Jessie's Picks: Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Stick in Airy Fairy. YSL Gloss Volupte in Rose Jersey.

This makeup is defintely heavier on the eyes, and may be a bit or lot more than what most people wear on an everyday basis. I quite like this eye makeup look and am planning on wearing soon. Until next time!
