Be it her makeup looks or ever-changing appearances, Kim Kardashian never seizes to miss the spotlight. The business and reality TV mogul is always making global headlines with her makeup looks and aesthetics. After all, Kim is credited for putting contouring on the makeup map of the world. Let’s look at 25 stunning Kim Kardashian looks to see the makeup icon’s evolution over the years:
1. The 90’s Red Lip
This picture became viral on the internet because of her simple makeup and brownish-red lipstick. Surprisingly, this is a picture from the ‘90s when she was just in seventh grade. The young Kim K is undoubtedly a delight to watch!
2. The Minimal Makeup
Be it the brownish-nude lip or the bold brows- we are loving everything about this Kim K makeup look. It is her very own take on the iconic nude-lip lifestyle of Drew Barrymore. Young Kim with her ‘90s tendrils, bob haircut, and minimal makeup is giving us serious goals here.
3. The Smokey Eye
This picture from 2006 is proof that Kim Kardashian has been killing it with her makeup inspo for years. In this era, she was known for her lip gloss, smokey eyeshadow, blush and lots of self-tanner. Amazing, isn’t it?
4. The Dirty Blonde
Kim doesn’t shy away from dyeing her tresses every now and then and making drastic changes to her appearance. The dirty blonde colours on her long hair look absolutely stunning on her. No doubt, she is the queen of unique hairstyles and hairdos.
5. The Skinny Brows
Posing with Kourtney and Rob in this 1999 picture, Kim is wearing a nude lipstick here. What catch our eye are her skinny eyebrows that look very unique on her. It was the lip-liner era and she is slaying that as well. You do not need a lot of makeup skills to recreate this look for yourself.
6. The Thick Liner
You can never really go wrong with a thick black eyeliner. It is a classic makeup trick and Kim is slaying it as usual. The dark shadow near the lash lines creates the perfect smokey look that we admire.
7. The Neutral Makeup
In 2007, Kim surprised us with her a little more toned-down appearance. Her spider-like lashes and hyper-arched brows became a fashion statement for years. Nude lips and dark eyes, by that time, had already become her signature.
8. The Simple Look
This picture was clicked at the launch of Kim’s first-ever fragrance launch. Here, here trademark contouring is very evident. It was also a phase where the celeb was high on lash extensions. The simple and glowing makeup is on point.
9. The Contour Makeup
Kim’s aesthetics remain consistent, even when she plays around with her lip colours. Here, she is sporting a creamy bold lip, natural feathered eyebrows, and a little bronze eye. Her contoured, matte skin is lovely.
