If you’re a fan of Kylie Jenner’s makeup looks, then you’re in luck. Her makeup artist, Ariel Tejada, has spilled some of his best tips and tricks to help you achieve that signature Kylie look.
Start with a Good Base
Tejada recommends starting with a good base by prepping your skin with a primer, like the Kylie Cosmetics Soft Peach Primer. This will help smooth out your skin, minimize the appearance of pores, and help your foundation last longer.
Next, he suggests using a lightweight foundation, like the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Concealer, to even out your skin tone. Use a damp beauty sponge to blend it in for a seamless, natural finish.
Contour and Highlight Like a Pro
One of the signature elements of Kylie’s look is her chiseled cheekbones. Tejada achieves this by using a cream contour, like the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Concealer in a shade two to three shades darker than the skin tone, underneath the cheekbones, along the jawline, and on the temples.
To highlight, he recommends using the Kylie Cosmetics Skin Concealer in a shade two to three shades lighter than the skin tone on the high points of the face, like the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and cupid’s bow.
Get the Perfect Pout
Kylie is known for her plump lips, and Tejada has a few tricks up his sleeve to help you achieve the same look. He recommends using a lip liner to overline the lips slightly, and then filling them in with a matte liquid lipstick, like the Kylie Cosmetics Matte Liquid Lipstick.
To finish, he suggests adding a little bit of gloss to the center of the lips for an extra pouty effect.
Don’t Forget the Eyes
Finally, Tejada suggests finishing off the look with some dramatic eye makeup. He recommends using a warm-toned eyeshadow palette, like the Kylie Cosmetics Burgundy Palette, and layering on a few coats of mascara.
If you want to take it to the next level, he suggests adding some false lashes to really make your eyes pop.
Final Thoughts
With these tips and tricks from Kylie Jenner’s makeup artist, you’ll be able to achieve that signature Kylie look in no time. Just remember to start with a good base, contour and highlight like a pro, perfect your pout, and finish off with some dramatic eye makeup.
