If I could raid one celeb's makeup bag, it would no doubt be Kim Kardashian. When it comes to makeup, Kimmy is the Kween and her long-time makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic is obviously the King. From her full on glam looks, to her recent stripped back, natural beauty, Kimberly always looks flawless. Which is why I embarked on a mission (that sounds much more dramatic than it actually was) to discover exactly what foundation she uses to achieve that infamous Kardashian glow. Prior warning, you will want to go makeup shopping after reading this...sorry, not sorry.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
There are two constants in Kim K's life. One, that her magnificent behind will be round and peachy forever and two, that she will love Luminous Silk until her very last breath. While the Kardashian world is ever-changing, Kim's love for this foundation has lasted for years. Most recently, Kim revealed that she loved the 'soft glow' Mario Dedivanovic did on her for New York Fashion Week (pictured) and obvs he used her ride or die foundation...just look at that glow.
Available from Feel Unique, £40.
Joe Blasco Ultrabase Foundation
When Kim shared her daily beauty routine with Into The Gloss she also revealed her two favourite foundations. Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk (obvs) and the lesser known Joe Blasco Ultrabase Foundation. "It’s a really old school, heavy foundation. My dad got me makeup classes for Christmas when I was like 14 at some Joe Blasco makeup school, and I’ve worn that foundation ever since."
Available from Camerareadycosmetics.com, £35 (international shipping available).
La Mer Soft Fluid Long Wear Foundation
Kim shared all the deets for her recent Promise premier look (pictured) on her website and revealed she loved the 'glam' that celebrity makeup artist Mary Phillips did on her, using the La Mer foundation. At £80 this skincare-foundation hybrid is a serious investment but it seems that Mary is just a big a fan as Kim, calling it her "new favourite foundation".
Available from Net-A-Porter, £80.
Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturiser
When it comes to makeup, Kimmy has been embracing a more natural look lately. TBF if I had Kimmy's face, I would never wear foundation again. Her numero uno makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic revealed that he skipped foundation altogether for her recent appearance at the LA Impact Awards (pictured) and instead used Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturiser for Kim's base. If you hate the feel of heavy foundation, or just want a lighter base for summer, this is a great option for that Calabasas glow.
Available from Space NK, £34.
Giorgio Armani Crema Nuda Foundation
When Kimmy posted a video on her website doing her own makeup, we took all the notes. Her foundation of choice when she has to apply her slap herself? Giorgio Armani's Crema Nudea, which was the replacement for her discontinued fave, Designer Shaping Cream. This is more skincare than makeup, but promises to give your face a sheer dose of coverage and glow...which sounds like the dream tbh.
Available from Feel Unique, £116.
Urban Decay Naked Skin Foundation
Ngl when Kim's makeup artist Mario revealed the products he used to create her wedding makeup, I did go out and buy all of them...sorry, not sorry. Urban Decay's Naked Skin Foundation is ideal for brides because of it's natural, demi-matte finish, which delivers just the right amount of glow.
Available from Debenhams, £28.50
Chanel Le Teint Ultra Tenue Ultrawear Flawless Foundation
We were all obsessed with Kim's stripped back Met Gala look (pictured) and it comes to no surprise that she teamed up with her main man, Mario Dedivanovic to achieve her fresh faced look. Mario used Chanel's Le Teint foundation because it "has a great finish". Definitely one to try if you have oily skin as it promises to leave your skin matte from morning till night.
Available from John Lewis, £37.
