I can’t be more excited today and bring to you an interview I did recently with the beautiful Kourtney Kardashian!

Kourtney Kardashian is the sweetest girl and chatting with her was such pleasure. Kourtney’s voice was very calm and she was kind enough to share with me some of her beauty secrets, her experience on the hit series on E!: Keeping Up With The Kardashians, and future plans.

Kourtney Kardashian interviewed with me for Talking Makeup’s celebrity beauty section: www.beautyinterviews.com

Kourtney Kardashian is best known for her appearances on the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians and is also the big sister to Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, and Kylie and Kendall Jenner.

Kourtney Kardashian and her sister Khloe Kardashian will be appearing in a spin-off show which will air in August 2009 on E! Networks. The spin-off will feature the sisters moving to Miami to open a second Dash store on the east coast. The show has a working title of: Kourtney and Khloe Take Miami.

I caught up with Kourtney Kardashian on a telephone from Los angles early in the morning (and I must say, Kourtney was very punctuate!) to chat about the time she discovered the love for makeup. Why she looks up to her mother, Kris Jenner. Best part of being on the show: Keeping Up With The Kardashians. What’s in Kourtney’s makeup bag. What does she feel about becoming famous. And her new reality show Kourtney and Khloe in Miami.

Marta Walsh: When did you first discover makeup?
Kourtney Kardashian: Probably way too young. Kim and I went to all girls Catholic school where we had to wear uniforms so the only way we could express ourselves was wearing cute shoes or a lipstick. I remember wearing lipstick in seventh grade. Our teacher would take our lipsticks away and throw them away every day. That’s why we would buy cheap lipsticks in a drugstore. It was a burgundy color lipstick. Not a cute color. We also then began wearing an eye liner.

Introducing MAC Spring collection: MAC Grand Duos: Grand Duos splits MAC’s popular Mineralize Blushes in two: one side is marbleized with tri-colour veining to enhance and glorify cheekbones and the other, a complimentary mono shade to add a pop of colour. A soft, shimmery pearl on both sides gives skin a subtle glow. MAC Grand Duos will be available starting in March 12, 2009 for a limited time.

MAC Grand Duos: Mineralization has swept the Beauty Nation but MAC makes the next move with Grand
Duos: Mineralize Blush that has a marbleized mélange on one side, and a complementary mono-shade on the other.

Soft-shimmer super-shine pearl in a pretty tricolour veining to enhance and glorify cheekbones, followed with the pop and dimension of solid colour shimmer without an overly frosted look. The 188 Small Duo Fibre Face Brush makes the transition magnificent. A sophisticated but simple new way to get your vital minerals.

New York Fashion Week Fall 2009 report: I asked James Kaliardos, MAC Lead Makeup Artist, backstage at Luca Luca Fall 2009 fashion show about MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation SPF 15 and why he likes to use it on models to achieve the runway makeup look for the show.

“I really like it…MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation…because it has good coverage and it can also be thinned out so it can be very transparent. It is a very easy product to use.”-James Kaliardos.
