Always use a moisturiser

Matte highlighter to brighten areas
- The next step is to use a matte highlighter to brighten the areas where you want to conceal. Kim Kardashian West usually opts for medium to dark coloured matte highlighter. She uses it under her eyes, over her lips and in between her eyebrows.
Contour for nose & edges
- After applying a matte highlighter she opts for a lighter contour to slim her nose. She also applies some on the tip of her nose to make it shine a little brighter. She then uses the Dark Contour for cheekbones and side edges. The darker shades define the face, she further goes on applying a darker contour on her forehead and her hairline.
Kim Kardashian’s Tip: Draw a 3 shape from the forehead, down the cheekbones and along the jawline.
- Use a small brush to blend her forehead in a circular motion. Blend the dark colours first and then go on to blending the lighter colours
