Kim's makeup artist Mariodecided to give her a soft golden, bronze, and peachy look for her glamorous summer wedding. Mario has explained all of the products he used, so you can check that out over on his site. If you'd rather use other products or see a few different options, keep reading!
EYES
Mario used a light brown brow pencil by L'Oreal to fill in Kim's brows. Kim already has thick, dark brows so she doesn't need much shaping. I personally like to shape my brows, so a light brown pencil wouldn't be great for me; the lighter color would be too obvious in places like the arch of my brow, where I really like to thicken the shape. Instead, I would opt to use a dark brown, (you should use whatever color matches your brow hair the closest), to shape my brows and use a lighter color to fill in sparse areas. This creates more of a natural look.
Mario used a Lancome eyeshadow palette called Golden Frenzy. With this palette, Mario "swept the light golden shade all over the lids and applied the darker shade along her crease with a small liner brush." To highlight, Mario used the lightest shadow on Kim's brow bone. Since I don't own this Lancome palette, I improvised using the infamous Naked Palette by Urban Decay. Luckily, Mario used such accessible colors that pretty much every makeup brand sells something similar. If you don't want to splurge, look through the L'Oreal section of the drugstore and you'll surely find a light gold, bronze, and light highlight color. With the Naked Palette, I'd use Half Baked, Smog, and Virgin.
Mario then went on to line Kim's top lash line with a liquid liner by CoverGirl. He created a flick at the end of the line, making the outer corners thicker than the inner corners.
Although Mario doesn't claim to use false lashes, Kim's lashes are tremendously long and thick. I'd say to go for false lashes if you want to recreate this look (unless you're blessed with crazy big lashes). Mario says he "applied two coats of Lancôme Hypnôse Doll Lashes mascara in So Black."
FACE
Mario used liquid foundation by Dior and set it using a translucent powder by Chanel. The Dior foundation is full coverage, so a cheaper alternative would be something like Revlon Colorstay. A cheaper alternative for Chanel's loose powder would be something like Physician's Formula Mineral Finishing Veil. Remember not to use any face products with SPF if you're going to be photographed; your face will look much lighter than the rest of your body if you do.
Mario used a peachy blush by Lancome, but any brand will do. The color he chose is sheer, so most drugstore products would work fine for this. I'd use something like MAC Peaches blush on a fluffy brush to make sure I wouldn't apply too much product.
To warm up Kim's complexion, Mario used a bronzing powder by Guerlain. I would suggest using any bronzer that's not shimmery and leans a bit more neutral brown so the color can be used to contour the face as well.
To highlight, Mario used a highlighting powder by Giella. Any highlighting powder you have should do, as long as it doesn't have chunky glitter. If you don't own a highlighter, try using a soft champagne, golden, or creamy eyeshadow in its place.
