One of the looks that goes perfectly from day to evening and that delivers flawless results regardless of your skin tone is a natural look and Kim has rocked this look on several occasions. The tricks seem to be eye definition and a flawless looking complexion. Although the look appears natural, you will need a few skin enhancers such as foundation, highlighter and definitely mascara, plenty of it if you're looking to get Kim's au naturel look. Kim's signature nude lips can be easily achieved using a nude lipstick or a nude lipgloss, while the right shadows are placed using bronzer to sculpt the face to perfection.

A tad of highlighter applied on your skin and the inner corner of the eye as well as the brow bone will help enhance the light to achieve a sultry, divine look that will mesmerize in an instant. Well defined eyelashes play a key role when achieving a look that seems simple yet is able to seduce, so turn towards your trusted mascara (an older one works best) to coat your lashes heavily and make them pop. 

Kim's divine, almost angelic pink makeup look has won us over and achieving such a look is definitely not rocket science. The keys to achieving such radiant skin are high quality products and shimmery textures, so get that flawless looking skin using an illuminating foundation and dust a lovely, shimmery powder blush over your cheekbones. A bit of bronzer applied on the sides of the nose, jaw line and forehead can help define the facial features while the heavy mascara lashes and perfect pink lip gloss that enhances the lips can balance the look to give it that innocent sexy style that will make heads turn. 

Trust the seductive power of red colored lipstick and coat your plump lips in the hottest shade of red you can find. Conceal imperfections with foundation, add a tan blush to you cheeks and then focus on bringing out your eyes using a simple kohl eyeliner smeared perfectly on the lash-line and get your lashes looking divalicious using a lengthening mascara.

Kim Kardashian Shares Makeup Tips on 'The Look'

Reality TV diva Kim Kardashian put her makeup skills to the test after dishing on her fashion style to Harper's Bazaar editor Laura Brown on 'The Look', so find out which are Kim's secrets to looking picture perfect, next!

She's managed to conquer the world with her beauty, attention to style and love for all thing deluxe, but it seems that reality TV star Kim Kardashian doesn't have an army of people on standby waiting to polish her look to perfection since she first opens her eyes as the diva put her makeup skills to the test on 'The Look', having Harper's Bazaar editor as a model.

The diva that is rarely seen without makeup, used her colors to give the much fairer skin tone Laura Brown a makeover, but the results achieved weren't all that flattering for the editor as the hues were much too dark for her skin tone, however, the techniques used can help beauty enthusiasts achieve flawlessly sculpted features and a much slimmer face.

While sitting down for a chat with Laura on 'The Look' regarding her fashion choices and her oh-so-fab airport style created using a Valentino leather jacket, Celine top and jewelry and a pair of Louboutin heels, Kim confessed to love mixing high-end designer items with lower priced brands as she says it's all about mixing and matching. Her style has inspired women around the world as her beauty and it seems that Kim's not holding back any of her tricks as she shared her face slimming makeup tricks with the magazine's editor putting together even a little demo which didn't turn out as it was supposed to due to the difference between the complexion and Kim's shade, but the advice is definitely working as Kim looks picture perfect every time she steps out.

Applying bronzer can have amazing 'remodelling' properties according to Kim as she says it's this why tabloids claim she's had something done, her nose, lips, etc, and she demonstrates how and where to apply bronzer to get a slimmer nose and face. The secret seems to be application of the bronzer in the shape of a '3', starting from the hairline and going down to underline the cheekbones and down again on the jawline. For the nose, strategically applied lines which are then blended with the skin can help minimize the nose, and considering she's been in the spotlight rocking photoshoots and more looking impeccable every time, Kim knows a thing or two about makeup.

Apart from her makeup tips, Kim revealed the pose that she turns to to look good in pictures, thus avoiding an unflattering snap which emphasizes the chin or created a double-chin effect, and says that sticking the head out and tilting the head down to look fabulous.

A hairstyle which reveals the facial features greatly demands a fabulous looking makeup which oozes allure and sophistication, so opt for a makeup look which accentuates the eyes as well as your features. Cheryl Cole's brown eyes are beautiful and dark colors can definitely enhance them further. Use a foundation to create a perfect looking complexion and highlight subtly your temples and under eye area using a highlighter. Add depth to the eyes by lining the waterline with a soft black eyeliner pencil and use shades of brown, one lighter and one darker, to create a sultry and soft smokey eye look. A pair of falsies enhanced with mascara are all you need next for your eyes to seduce with one glimpse. Finish your look with a touch of blush on your cheekbones and a translucent nude lip gloss.

The girl-next-door look never fails if done properly done and Cheryl definitely knows how to pull-off this look. A flawless complexion is the key to this makeup, so conceal any skin imperfections and use an illuminating foundation to give your skin a healthy glow. Accentuate your eyes close to the lash line with a dark colored eyeshadow and balance it towards the crease with a lighter shade. Give your cheekbones a touch of color using a peach colored blush and use a flesh colored lip gloss to make your lips look more luscious. 

Red lips is definitely one of the hottest makeup looks of the season and Cheryl shows us why red lipstick should not miss from your makeup kit. Because the accent is placed on the lips, the rest of the makeup is better off if kept minimal. Foundation, blush, eyeliner and mascara are all you need next to complete your stylish and ultra-seductive makeup look!
