The Khardashian Phenomenon

By Heather Polyi  Owner/Lead Artist  Glam Spot NJ

Kim Khardashian seems to always look flawless in every photo!
How?
Is she human???
I have uncovered evidence, she is in fact... HUMAN!
This is Kim, without makeup!
(P.s you are still beautiful Kim)
However like all of us, with makeup, your natural beauty is enhanced!
Do not get confused, a natural look, isn't even close to looking natural, as in... not made up!

This is Kim in mid contour!
She TWEETED These pics herself, and CoCo Perez shared them on the web!
So, What on earth does she use??????
Kim's look at Nascar, by makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic
(He is an amazing makeup artist)
This is from his official blog...
Follow him, he's amazing, and reveals many of his tips tricks and products!!!!!!!!!! :)
Apply Creme de La Mer all over the skin to moisturize.
Concealer: Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage in SC-3 under eyes.
Powder: Shiseido Translucent Loose Powder to set the foundation.
Bronzer: MAC bronzer in Refined Golden around the hairline and hollows of cheeks to add warmth and contour.
Highlighter:  Giella's EYE M GLAM highlighter at giella.com. To get the dewy and radiant glow, apply to brow bone and inner corners of eyes and on the bridge of your nose, across cheek bones, cupids bow and on decolletage.
Blush: Josie Maran Blush in Blossom on apples of cheeks.
Eyeshadows: Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Blaze on the eyelid
MAC Eyeshadow in Malt in the crease
EYE M GLAM highlighter on the brow bones.
Eyeliners: Dior liquid style liner in Noir Black on the upper lash line
Max Factor MAX eye liner in Night Club along the inner lash line
Mascara: Lancome Definicils High Definition Mascara in Deep Black
Eyebrows: Benefit Instant Brow Pencil in Medium to Dark
Lipliner: Stila Lip Pencil in Contour 1
Lipstick: Covergirl Continuous Color Lipstick in Golden Apricot
Lipgloss: Guerlain Terracotta Gloss and Shine in Beige Sun
Other options... NARS sheer glow foundation in Barcelona applied with a sponge.
Under eyes, use Smashbox Camera Ready Full Coverage Concealer in Medium Vanilla.
Set the face with Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder in #2 using very little.
Brows are filled in with Brow Sculpting Pencil by Sephora, in Medium. Brush them through with the opposite end of the pencil once filled in.
Eyes – Sweep Josie Maran Eyeshadow in Vintage all over the lid. On the crease and also smoked along the lower lashline, use Cacao Eyeshadow, also by Josie Maran. Line the upper lash line with Sephora's Doe Eyed Felt eyeliner in Black. L’oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black on top and bottom lashes. For some added drama, use the long individual false lashes by Ardell on the outer upper corners.
Warm up and frame the face with Smashbox bronzer in Suntan Matte.
Also brush some on the hollows of the cheeks.
Sweep NYC New York Color Color Wheel in Peach Glow on the apples of the cheeks and a bit across the forehead and chin.
To get that gorgeous, glowing skin, use Giella's EYE M GLAM highlighter.
Brush it on your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose and right on the cupids bow of upper lip. I also used it on her brow bones and inner corner of her eyes.
Line lips with Urban Decay’s 24/7 Glide on Lip Pencil in Heavy (shimmery nude shade). Use Captivating Coral lipstick by Motives and follow with Covergirl Wetslicks gloss in Fig.
Kim has been seen wearing looks by Scott Barnes and many other sought after Make up artists.
Let me just say that this is not a fail safe list...  your color selections require them to match YOUR skin....
And P.S they don't always look AMAZING even on Kim!


She is often over contoured!!!!!!!!!!!!
OFTEN!


It should come with a warning label...  Do Not Try This At Home!

But, if you dare....
Let us know...
With Love and Glamour,

An Innovative Movement In Mascara

By Bridget Hudzik, Beauty GURU

You find a department store mascara you love.
You wear it every day.
It runs out.
Your kidney hurts from the cost - again.
If only there was a way to refill without giving up your other kidney.

Oh but there is!
As with the Guerlain Rouge G Lip Stick, the Limited Edition Guerlain Noir G Mascara & Refill Set comes packed into its own little jewel case, complete with a mirror.
Sephora states: "If there were a dictionary devoted to beauty, listed under the word 'classic' you'd find Guerlain. This purveyor of luxury fragrance, makeup, and skincare has consistently defined—and redefined—our standards of beauty for over 175 years. Since 1828, Guerlain has guided us through a remarkable series of firsts, including industry standards like lipstick, eyeliner, mascara, and scientifically based skincare."

The first refillable mascara with an integrated mirror.
As a  jewel-mascara, an exceptional formula is lying within this metallic case enriched with intense black pigments that gives volume, definition and care benefits.
Wrap its ingenious and handy brush around lashes above and below to achieve the stunning effect of a blow-dry.
When you buy this set, as opposed to buying the mascara and refill separately, you save a whole bunch to use for your third coffee run of the day just because you want to enjoy to warm weather.
Looking good and buying smart?
Gosh, you're a keeper!

We Will "Rock" You

Posted by Bridget Hudzik, Beauty Guru

It's Bronzing and perfecting time folks, and when it's hot I don't do heavy make up.
Enter:

Goddess Rocks!

Immediately, I am sold before I know a thing about what it is!
From the packaging, to the shiny pigmented "rocks" that await me inside, I am excited!
These will not disappoint!
UK based MeMeMe Cosmetics is the genius behind this versatile product, MeMeMe Goddess Bronzing Rocks. They can be used as bronzer, eyeshadow, and even lip gloss.
*** Do note they make a bit of a mess... Use brushes!***
All of MeMeMe cosmetics are inspired by ancient Greeks and the bohemian spirit, the all female team behind this vision is super passionate about creating gorgeous, distinctive and spirited cosmetics for their customers all over the world.
It takes an ocean to get to them, but they can be found in many specialty department stores in the US.

When I found these, I was instantly reminded of Guerlain Météorites Pearls.
Guerlain promises to "erase imperfections and soften features" and comes in 3 different shades.

Physicians Formula, found in your local drug store, carries less expensive versions of both the Bronzing Rocks and The Guerlain Pearls
Glow-Boosting Sun Stones.

 Mineral Correcting pellets.


I am all for less expensive and easy to access.
I am also a sucker for packaging, and truer pigments!
It's a toss up!

Whatever you choose,
We like them ALL

No matter what, your new glow,
Will totally "ROCK"!
