Get Kim Kardashian's Hollywood Glow!!

As always, the lovely Kim Kardashian looks gorgeous.  Ms. Kardashian sported a smokey eye, flawless skin with a glow, and a nude lip.  Keep reading for tips on how to achieve this look yourself!

Skin:
To get that dewy, flawless complexion, opt for a sheer liquid foundation with light to medium coverage, such as MAC Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 or Revlon Color Stay Foundation .
Eyes:
Choose either a black or deep pewter eyeshadow such as Milani's eyeshadow "Storm" or MAC Cosmetics eyeshadow in "Unflappable"   to create Kim's Smokey eye.  Add a lighter shadow to the inner corners of the eyes and under the brow to highlight.  For this,  MAC Cosmetics eyeshadow in "RicePaper" would be great!  Line the eyes with your favorite black eyeliner and apply a few coats of black mascara or add lashes for a dramatic effect!!
Cheeks:
Choose a blush in the coral family would really make your cheeks pop!! NYX Cosmetics powder blush in "Cinnamon" would look great!!
Lips:Choose a matte, flesh-tone lipstick with little or no sheen to finish this look.  I love Revlon's Matte Lipstick in "Nude Attitude"
I hope these tips are helpful in achieving this look!!!!
