Hi Kim,

How do you keep your makeup stay fresh all day without the foundation and eye shadow fading? I use Bare Minerals foundation. And after a couple hours it seems like it just goes away.

Sincerely,
Mae

  1. Great advice! I use the Smashbox primer and it works great!

  2. I’ve always thought about user primer but never have. I usually put moisturizer on and then my foundation. Just wondering if anyone knows, if you use primer do you still need to put moisturizer on?

    • hey hun no u dont use moisturizer after u have used a primer. cos its a different formula & its like a moisturizer any way it smoothes out your skin. but if u have run out of primer u can use your moisturizer but make sure it says on back that its sutable

  3. Yes Kim I agree the MAC paints are amazing. Best colors are bare study and painterly. I love painterly because once you put it on it doesn’t interfere with the color of shadow you want to use. Some of them make your shadows change color.

  4. HEY KIM!! THAT WAS GREAT ADVICE TO MAE!! :) I WANT TO TRY THE SMASHBOX PRIMER BC U TALK SO HIGHLY ABOUT IT….XOXO

  5. Hey Kim,

    I love how you and Reggie have such a great relationship together you guys are totally perfect for one another, but are there ever moments when you both dont see eye to eye?!

  6. is the MAC primer thick?
    i dont like puting on a lot onto my face

    • see, im like you LAgirl.. i love makeup but i hate having alot on my face. i wear a loose powder, but i’ve never tried a foundation, let alone wearing a primer underneath :(
      but i love that flawless look that kim always has!!

      • you should try bare minerals. Doesnt feel like a foundation. And the primer is lighter than moisterizer, you can’t feel it at all

        • I wear the bare minerals and it doesn’t look like I have makeup on. I only use a little. I also have the primer. I will only use it for Winter because my skin is oily. My makeup guy @ Sephora suggested it to help the minerals stick and not look ashy. LOL

      • exactly. i dont like to feel like im caking on makeup. too many layers.
        moisturizer, then primer, then powder foundation, and then the translucent powder throughout the day??
        oyyy. too much

    • NO IT ISNT THINK AND MAKES YOUR SHADOEW LAST FOREVER ANOTHER TIP TO BRIGHTEN YOUR FACE IN PICTURES IS USE A LIGHT ER FOUNDATION UNDER EYES IN THE T ZONE AND SIDES OF YOUR MUTH BLEND IN WITH YOUR REGUSLAR COLOR YOULL SEE THE DIFFERENCE ON FAB LOOKS

  7. So blush brush do you use?
    What transulscent powder do you use?
    THANKS 4 THE ADVICE I NEEDED IT!!!!!

    THE MAC PAINT DOES WORK GOOD!
    KIM DO YOU LIKE KEVYN AUCOIN FOUNDATION? I THINK ITS BETTER THAN MAC, ITS GREAT/AMAZING COVERAGE!

  8. ALSO! TYRA BANKS MAKEUP ARTIST SAID MILK OF MAGNESIA (LAXATIVE) TO PUT IT ON YOUR FACE WITH A SPONGE OR I USE MY FINGERS… BUT WOW IT MAKES UR MAKEUP LAST FOOOREEEVER…
    YOU PUT IT ON LIKE A PRIMER BEFORE ALL UR MAKEUP.. I USE IT IN THE SUMMER.

  9. MY SKIN IS REALLY DRY IN THE WINTER AND MILK OF MAGNESIA DOESN’T WORK WELL WITH MY SKIN IN THE COLD. BUT, I LUV IT IN THE SUMMER, WHEN ITS REALLY HOT MY MAKEUP DOESN’T MOVE AT ALL!
    HOPE THIS HELPS GIRLS!
    MILK OF MAGNESIA IS A LIQUID BUY IT AT STORE!

  10. Same here I’m in love with both the Smashbox primer and the MAC paint, but on a completely different note will you be attending the DirectTV Celebrity Beach Bowl? It has been my DREAM to meet you or even see you in person. Love ya
