Hot To Get The Look: Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian Lips
Ever wondered how to get the look of Kim Kardashian’s and Khloe Kardashian’s lips?
In my recent interview with Khloe Kardashian for Beauty Interviews about her beauty secrets, Khloe revealed that her and her sister, Kim Kardashian, are obsessed with NARS Lip Gloss in Turkish Delight ($24). I take notes, because I love how both Kim and Khloe have the most luscious and fullest lips.


The best lip-gloss I ever owned…
“My sisters and I are obsessed with Nars in Turkish Delight. We love it. Kim and I are obsessed with it. I’m so much lighter than Kim, but it still looks so good on both of us.”-Khloe Kardashian.

Osmotics Blue Copper 5 Lip & Tuck
The one lip treatment that does it all! Osmotics Blue Copper 5 Lip & Tuck is a conditioning gloss that plumps, restores lip contours and prevents aging to give you healthier, smoother, younger-looking lips.
How does it work: Super-hydrating hyaluronic acid particles penetrate and swell the lip tissue to add volume and plumpness. Copper, along with two powerful anti-aging peptides, helps prevent the loss of collagen, keeping the lips and mouth area firm, tight and line-free. Nourishing macadamia nut oil soothes dry, chapped lips.

What it does: Promotes fuller, plumper, more youthful lip contours. Prevents and repairs smokers’ lines around the lip/mouth. Conditioning gloss moisturizes, nourishes and soothes. May be used as an elegant gloss alone or over lip color. SRP: $35.

Celebrity Makeup Artist Victoria Rowe: International Makeup Artist Trade
International Makeup Artist Trade Show or IMAT.
I have to interrupt my original train of thought for a special story:…..
The International Makeup Artist Trade Show….that’s where I was in Pasadena, CA this weekend. I was demonstrating the Luminess Air Airbrush machine and Mineral, Water-Based Makeup used by the likes of Ve-Johnny Depp’s Makeup Artist for “Pirates of The Caribbean” and “Sweeney Todd”.

Ve was kind enough to show me exactly how she did Johnny Depp’s makeup for Sweeney “Todd” on Sunday using this awesome, quiet, light little machine. Unbelievable. By using a very light, almost white makeup on Johnny’s face as a base, Ve was able to use the Luminess Air machine in a much, much darker shade to create the crazy contours on his cheekbones and chin to give him that ghostlike quality. Followed up by RED eyeliner inside the rim of his eyes which bled out to his bottom lashes to make him especially doom-inspired!
There were many awesome finds at the IMAT show. One of my favorites was “PROS-AIDE” Water-based, non-toxic adhesive for facial hardware (Prosthetic pieces) to replace the very TOXIC Spirit Gum of days gone by.

Thevi Cosmetics
Thevi Cosmetics was founded by wife, mother and entrepreneur, Thevaki Thambirajah.

Thevi Cosmetics founder Thevaki Thambirajah.
With roots that reach deep into the Indian sub-continent, Thevi was born of Sri Lankan parents in New York State. As a young woman, beginning her career and enjoying a busy social life, Thevi could never find cosmetics in shades that suited her coloring. She felt a keen need for a prestige makeup brand with colors that were rich and vibrant without being harsh, and Thevi Cosmetics was born.
Thevi represents the New Ethnic Market: light-to-dark skinned woman of Asian, South Asian, Hispanic, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean descent. And we think it’s brilliant! Because finding the right shade of foundation is a key to a flawless face. There is still a room for expanding the makeup color scheme, and thanks for visionaries like Thevaki Thambirajah for making it happen.
Talking Makeup tried few of Thevi products and we are impressed. The quality of ingredients is definitely there.
We particularly liked the following Thevi products:
Mineral Pressed Powder SPF 8, $30.
Liquid Powder Mineral Foundation SPF 15, $32.
Lush Mascara, $18.
Automatic Longlasting Lipliner (my favorite is in Heather, and I added it to my makeup bag), $16.50.
