Kim Shares Beauty Insights at Vogue’s “Fashion, Friendship and Fabulous Lashes” Panel
Kim participated in a panel titled “Fashion, Friendship and Fabulous Lashes” during the publication’s centennial celebration.
The ShoeDazzle founder was joined by British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury and British Vogue Editor-at-Large Fiona Golfar at the panel discussion, where she revealed her more natural makeup routine.
“I think right now it’s more about nontouring, like real skin with less makeup on it. I’m trying to wear less, and my husband loves me without makeup,” she explained. “I’m really into strobing now, so just highlighting the skin without using bronzer.”
“I love contouring, and I don’t think I’d stop contouring my nose,” she added. “I know people think I’ve had a nose job, but it really is just makeup.”
