The 2017 Met Gala was a huge success last Monday night in New York City. While the fashion choices are the main focus of the extravagant event, we couldn’t help but recognize the stunning beauty looks that accompanied all the avant-garde frocks. From over-the-top makeup including watercolor eyeshadow and cotton candy hair (and let’s not forget Cara Devlivgne’s painted on hair) to more simple makeup to offset the attention-grabbing outfits, there were plenty of beauty looks to obsess over. With that being said, my favorite look from the night was Kim Kardashian’s simple but angelic makeup! Mario Dedivanovic (@makeupbymario) used his Master palette for her eyes, but I have rounded up a list of products you can use to achieve the rest of her flawless look!
The Products
1. Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Radiance ($39)
If you want a flawless complexion like Kim’s, it’s crucial to start with a good primer. The Smashbox Photo Finish Radiance Foundation Primer is the perfect choice because it was literally created with photo shoots in mind (hence the name). This ultra-hydrating primer cream gives skin a subtle tint with a flattering glow. It’s formulated with shea butter for moisture and 4K high-definition spheres to smooth fine lines, pores, and imperfections. It’s fragrance-free and vitamin-rich formula preps the complexion for makeup and also evens skin tones. Buy at SEPHORA.
2. Alba Botanica Fast Fix for Undereye Circles ($4.99)
Kim’s Met Gala makeup was so flawless, you wouldn’t even know under eye circles existed from her finished look. One of my favorite concealers for covering under eye circles is Alba Botanica’s Fast Fix. The vanishing yellow concealer is formulated with apple, white lily & caffeine to both brighten and neutralize any dark shadows to achieve an even appearance underneath the eyes. Formulated with 100% vegetarian and cruelty-free ingredients, this concealer is not only effective but a good choice when the environment and our furry friends are concerned! Buy at HARMONFACEVALUES.
3. Elke Von Freudenberg Brow Hi-Light Shadow ($22)
Emphasize your brows like Kim’s with the Elke Von Freudenberg Brow Hi-Light Shadow. Available in 5 flattering highlight shades, this shadow is loaded with pigment and accentuates the beautiful shape of your brows. It can also be used a face and body highlighter. The white/cream shades are recommended for lighter skin tones, while the yellow/gold shades are more flattering on medium to darker skin tones. My personal favorite shade is “Sugar”. Buy at ELKEVONFREUDENBERG.
4. Marc Jacobs Beauty Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter ($44)
If anyone knows how to rock a natural glow, it’s Kim Kardashian. But we all know that glow is a result of some really expensive or unknown highlighter. Well fear not, because I have discovered an AMAZING highlighter that will give you a glow just like Kim’s. Marc Jacobs Beauty Dew Drops Coconut Gel Highlighter is a lightweight but radiant highlighter that instantly lifts up the complexion for a universally flattering glow. Inspired by Marc Jacob’s love of coconut water and a youthful-looking glow, this revolutionary #CoconutGlow highlighter was created to illuminate all skin tones with radiance while also hydrating skin from within. Disclosure: I received this #contest product for free from @Influenster and @MarcBeauty. Buy at SEPHORA.
5. KISS Faux Mink Lashes ($5.99)
To get doll-like lashes like Kim’s, forget the eyelash curlers and expensive mascara because the KISS Faux Mink Lashes will give you the natural high-volume and wispy lashes that all of us girls dream of. They are so affordable and seriously look so real that people will wonder if you were born with these enviable lashes. They are also reusable and very easy to apply. Buy at WALGREENS or BEJOUR.
6. Rimmel London Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Nude Collection “Nude 40” ($5.79)
Kim is the queen of the nude lip, and I have found a lipstick color that even KKW would approve of. Rimmel London’s Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Nude Collection is a line of just nude shades! Kim usually gravitates towards a more neutral and light nude to complement her skin tone, and the Rimmel shade in “Nude 40” is a dead ringer for the lipstick color Kim chose for the Met Gala. This lipstick is great because it lasts up to 8 hours and has a soft and creamy finish that keeps lips hydrated. The collection has 10 beautiful nude shades to suit every skin tone. Buy at WALGREENS.
