Not Technically Bollywood, but Great Make-up for Fair Skinned Desi Ladies

I got a request recently for Kin Kardashian's make-up and I figured I'd post it here too. Whatever you think of the girl (and trust me, I'm always on gossip blogs getting the latest scoop), she seems to have great make-up usually. The thing is that I could easily see the shades she uses look great on fairer skinned desi ladies. So for you fairer skinned desi (or not) lovelies out there, I present you Kim Kardashian's make-up recommendations from an article I read a while ago.


It's All About the Lips


Looking at Kim on the red carpet, one would instantly notice her kohl-rimmed dark brown eyes and olive skin. She also has great, natural eyebrows. She doesn’t sport the overly-plucked L.A. brow. But Kim’s lips are really the feature she pays attention to.


“In my make up bag, I always have MAC blush in ‘Pink Swoon,’ along with their travel size blush brush. A MAC lip liner in ‘Stripdown,’ with MAC lipstick in ‘Angel.’ And Nars lip gloss in ‘Turkish Delight.’”


Her blush, lip liner, lipstick, and lip gloss are all in the soft pink range. Nothing strong or too bright for her lips.


MAC Blush- Pink Swoon– Clearly Pink (Sheer tone Powder)


MAC Lip Liner- Stripdown-Naked Nutmeg (Pencil)


MAC Lipstick- Angel- Soft Pink (Frost)


Nars Lip Gloss- Turkish Delight- Pink Sorbet


As far as the one beauty item she could never live without, that’s the Nars lip gloss in ‘Turkish Delight.’ Kim isn’t alone in her praise of Nars. Many women call it the best lip gloss around, although not at the cheapest price, either. And it comes in a luscious array of shades. The ‘Turkish Delight,’ is described as pink sorbet, or better yet, a strawberry milkshake. The color is that pretty and soft.


These two products can’t fit in a make up bag, but we were curious how Kim keeps her long, raven locks so shiny and healthy. She told us she is a big fan of these two shampoo lines: Clairol’s Herbal Essence and Pantene.

i love kim. she is so fierce looking! her makeup is always very soft and natural and lots of kohl & mascara on the eyes. it's a good look for most women.

I really like Kim's make-up but not sure how it would go over on desis.

Can you put on Kim Kardashian's make-up on yourself or a desi person in general so we can see what it would look like on someone with our skin tones?

Can you also give Queen Rania's make-up rundown?

hey princess 052091
I will definately do a breakdown on her make-up. i will post one soon :).

Hey selina,
i LOVE her dark eye make-up too. i love her look for desi events. very dramatic but fitting imo.

Hey anonymous,
I think the make-up she uses would look amazing on lighter skinned desi women which is why i posted it. i will try and rope someone in to be my model :P. however you ca always tailor the look to suit your own needs. for example, i can't wear nars turkish delight so i wear mac spirit and top it off with mac lust lipgloss. the colour is a lot more flattering on me than turkish delight but it's along the same idea (for reference i'm an nc45).
