Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner is a woman of wisdom when it comes to beauty. Some may call her a style chameleon, always changing up her look with colorful wigs, extensions, lip colors and face makeup. Along with these changes comes a variety of tips and tricks to make the whole process that much simpler. In her birthday makeup video from a few months back, she shared some tips she uses with makeup artist, Hrush Achemyan to look picture perfect. I’m sharing these today, so you too, can get the Kylie Jenner effect.

1. Do your eye makeup first before putting on any foundation or concealer.

Goodbye eye shadow fallout, that turns into smudged looking charcoal, and hello flawless foundation!

2.    Apply tape to the outer corner of your eyes before applying any eye shadow to create a sharp edge.

Take a pinky-length amount of translucent tape and hold it diagonally so that it matches the angle of your eyebrow arch. Keeping that same angle, place it directly under your lower lash line to serve as a guide for your winged eye shadow application, or you can use it on your liquid liner as well.

3.    Use contour powders as eye shadows.

Great news! Your favorite contour powders can double as eye shadows. Achemyan layered the Anastasia Beverly Hills "Java" and "Cinnamon" contour shades and blended them into the crease of Kylie's eyes.

4.    Apply foundation on top of your illuminator instead of the reverse order.​

Before applying foundation, Achemyan​ applied the Koh Gen Do Foundation Illuminator (or the "strobing stuff" as Kylie calls it) on Kylie's cheekbones, the tip of her nose, bridge of her nose, and cupid's bow (areas where she won't be applying full powder), and then pressed it into her skin with a Beauty Blender sponge. This will create a more subtly illuminated lit-from-within look than if the illuminator were layered on top.

 5.    Use a darker foundation stick to contour.

Foundation is a good substitute for a contouring product. Kylie doesn't need too much "correctional contour," Achemyan says, so she uses the Bobbi Brown Foundation in "Chestnut" to enhance her features instead.

6.      Make your nose appear narrower by contouring the sides of it. 

Achemyan says "the thinner you make the line, the more narrow your nose is going to look."

7.      To make your face look tanner, blend your contour lines with a brush that's been dipped in a cream bronzer. 

Instead of blending the contour product with a clean brush, Achemyan suggests dipping your brush in a product like Soleil Tan de Chanel first to add warmth while blending everything seamlessly. ​

 8.    Layer an orange blush under your normal pink-colored blush to amplify it. 

Achemyan first applied Anastasia Contour L'Orange along her cheekbones and then pat Japonesque Blush in "#3" on top. This creates a universally
