Hey Mae,

It's definitely hard to keep up your makeup all day. I touch up throughout the day. Using a primer always helps keep the foundation fresh. I use Smashbox primer.

I keep a translucent powder with me in my purse and put it on with a blush brush to get rid of the foundation getting oily.

In order to keep your eyeshadow on all day, apply a MAC paint to the lid then apply shadow on top!

The key to fresh makeup is just bringing the essentials with you to touch up throughout the day!

XOXO,
Kim

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

I absolutly LOVE your clean fresh makeup i wanted to know, how old were you when you started wearing as much makeup as you wear now? And i also wanted to ask, what would be the best kind of powder to use to touch up throughout the day?

Hey Kim!
I absolutely LOVE your hair!!! I used to have long, thick hair - and now it has completely stopped growing! Do you have any recommendations for hair extensions?
You are such a role model - true, real & honest.
I open to any advice!
Thanks!

Hi Kim i hear that u were in South Africa its a pity i never got to see and meet you.I would like to open my own clothing line and i would like you to share some tips the do's and dont's i would really appreciate it if you can respond to this email..

Hello Kim I was also wondering how do you write a question to Kim to the rescue? I ( my sister and I) also appreciate how you give your fans the truth advice on what make -ups you used etc,unlike some celebs that make-up fake products they don't use.

Hello Kim, I know it hard to reply back to every single questions but when it comes to you the wait is worth it. I just wanted to know what kind of mac -products powders,lipstick,etc)should a woman use when she is the complexion of a Fab woman like La-La.

Hi Kim! You look nice in everything. What size are you in jeans and how much do you weigh(if you don't mind me asking)?

Luv you!

Kim i noticed that you naturally have very long eyelashes, and you can wear mascara without looking like a raccoon.What can I do to prevent my mascara from bleeding.

Thanks hope to hear from you soon!

hey kim! how do you leave a question for Kim to the Rescue?
thanxs, love, nessa

Kim, I love your style and that's why I am asking for HELP!!!!! I am celebrating my (sighing) 30th birthday and need fashion advise. I bought these HOT leopard peep toe heels but don't know what to wear them with. PLEASE HELP (before July 25th). Thanks!

Hey Kim,

I wanted to let you know that i love your show!! But i had one questions what kind of eye liner do you use? it seems to stay on all day ...the ones i use don't stay on me for long and it seems like i don't have any on at times!

Thanks,
Monica

Hey kim,
I have an urgent question. Could you tell me where you get your eyebrows done and how you keep them in such perfect shape. I really think it is important to find the right eyebrow shape but I just can't seem too.

Hey Kim,
My name is Kim too but not Kimberly--just Kim! :-)
How tall are? How do you curl your hair? It looks like you curl away from your face but I can't tell. My face is clear but I have scars due to teen acne how can I get rid of them?
Thanx muñeca!

Hi Kim, your hair is always in good condition and looks so shiny.I have thick hair with a natural wave in it but I can never get it to look shiny.Can you give me any advice?Thanks a mill.xx

I was just watching one of your makeup tip videos. I myself am a makeup lover also! I just had one question. What brand of false eyelashes do you recommend they are the one thing I have yet to try out! There seems to many brands and kinds.Thanks : )

Hi Kim- U r gorgeous in/out! I luv that you defend your cellulite! I'm so sick of seeing grossly skinny girls on tv. I'm Assyrian, 5'2" & 130 lbs. I'm not built to be skinny. Most Armenians & Assyrians rarely are! Your personality rocks too! XOXO --Izabel

Hi Kim,
I love your make up and how it's really natural. I was wondering what kind of make up you use to make your self look beautiful yet natural.

Kim you obviously work out (LOVE the look of your work out dvd) but to keep your amazing body in shape what is your diet like?

I have bigger thighs- I've always called them my thunder thighs.LOL. Anyway, I wear a size 12, but the waist is too big usually because by the time I get a pair of jeans that fits good in my thighs they are too big in the waist.I can't find good jeans.

Hey Kim,okay you may find this really wierd LOL but today i was at the mall wiht my little sister how is 11 and we were stopped by this girl and they asked my sister if she was Kim Kardashian's younger sister.when we got home we compared you 2 and WOW you.

i also recommend urban decay primer potion to help eyemake up stay on all day xx

Hey Kim,
As a Middle Eastern girl, I also have a huge ass lol. Everytime i try on a pair of jeans they hang off my waist or are too baggy around my legs. How do you find jeans that fit your shape so well?

Hey T,

Thanks for your advice! I will definitely try smashbox when I'm done with the bare minerals foundation primer.

HEY KIMMY, THANKS FOR THE ADVICE, QUESTION WHEN YOU DONT HAVE ANY MAKE UP ON WHAT DO YOU USED ON YOUR FACE SO IT WONT LOOK SO OILY, MY SKIN IS VERY OILY AND I TRY EVETHING AND IT DONT PLEASE KIM I NEED YOU HELP, WHAT DO U USED TO WASH FACE.

Hey Mae=)
I tried the smashbox primer today and i really liked it! My foundation really stayed on for longer, and it looked soooo much better, it didnt get oily and spottish looking at all!!!!! At first when i put it on,it kinda peeled off a bit when i Put my concealer on ,on the red spots, so i thought oh no,this will never work , but it didnt peel off at all when i put my bare minerals foundation on, and the result was just so pretty! U really see the difference! So i think you should go and get a sample of it !=) I want to try the bare minerals primer too as Kiki recommended,so I will try to get a sample of that one too , so I can compare. But so far im liking this one a lot!!=)

Love
T=)

Kim to the Rescue:
I want to start my own fashion boutique in my city, but I don't have the money to invest in it and I don't have experience in this kind of thing. How did you start Dash and what advice can you give me? I would love to hear it! Thanks!!

Hey kim!
i have been trying to do this look for a year now and its not wrkn for me..its these kind of small/tight yet loose curls that you have on the Keeping up with the Kardashians intro song/commercial your wearing a tight red dress.Please Help

thanks for the advice kim! i'll definitely use it too! i was going to ask that too!

thanx for the many cool make up tips youve given! i agree a mac paint works wonders and primer. I like some others like MAC bare canvas and painterly! Keep the make up tips coming Kim! thanks so much

Hi Kim,

I just had a question as to what eyelashes you use? I was watching your make-up videos. They look so beautiful and natural. Thank you! And you always look beautiful no matter what! Inside and out. Take care Kim!

I have not tried the MAC paint yet but since I am a weekly visitor to the MAC counter at Macy's I will probably give it a try soon. Right now I use Urban Decays Eyeshadow Primer Potion and that works really good and its only $16.00.

Hi,

this what i'm doing to lose weight: Cardio 4 times a week for 40 min. free weights for arms and ab workouts. but the most important thing is to eat less. eat 1,200 calories a day. eat healthy food. so far i've lost 4lbs in 3 weeks.

Hey Christine !=) I know you asked Kim, but ill give you my tip anyway hehe=) First you should exfoliate your lips once in awhile, you can do i with a tooth brush. And then you need a goooood moisturizeing lip balm! I recommend 100% Shea butter by L’occitane!! It is the best!! It comes in a small box which you can carry in you bag, and a bigger box ,i have both and i fill my little container up with the big one when its empty. It’s the best ,ive tried sooo many lip balms, but this one is truly amazing! And you can use it all over your body if you like, very good for dry areas! Hope this helps, and I hope you find it as amazing as I do! =)

Hey PrincessT,

You have to tell me how the Smashbox primer works! I'm currently using the BareMinerals foundation primer> I love how its goes on really light on my face but it just doesn't hold up the foundation.

Hey Kim,
I was just wondering if you could possibly show more pictures of your bedroom? The one picture where you are posing on an ottoman in front of your bed is beautiful. I would love to see how the rest of your bedroom looks like.

i agree, i love melody.
but nicole might be hotter than her.

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

So true Kim.. ultimately your powder and a good primer will always wear your make up longer! And gotta love that smashbox primer! BOMB! Fabulous tips doll!

hi kim, i guess u still use your lipsticks, and lip glosses, how do u manage to keep them looking so fresh during this winter period? my lips are so dry and peeling off. i use a chap stick, but it doesnt seeem to work, instead it makes my lipstick ugly.

(continued again lol)
anyways, i just want to tell you that it's such an honor to be presented with you! lol, you're such an inspiration and i admire your career path and everything you do. hopefully one day i can follow your footsteps. i love you kim!

hey kim :)

i dont know if you remember me because you must meet a million people a day! but i met you when you came to toronto in october at the club called guvernment. anyways, i happened to come across a pic of me and you on dailyfill!

Fantastic advice.Is there anything kim kardashian can't do?And there isn't another person wih that big of a heart.

My skin gets oily way to fast. Maybe I should try using a primer. Thanks Kim.
BTW HELPPPPPP!!!!!!!!.....I was wondering if you shape your own eye brows? Wax? You always have a perfect shape! I seem to pluck too much sometimes :(

hey doll! i was wondering how do you get the fresh duey look? i have been trying to do that but am not successful. plz help me out. you always look so great! thank you so much
your fan, farzeen

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

Kim! I need help, I have to loose weight by prom. Prom is in May but i'm addicted to junk food. Help!
-food addict

I need more comment space!!! To finish off.. yes, i know it is bad to go to bed with your makeup on, but on "special occasions" it just can't be avoided! (:

whoops.. ran out of space.. Anyway, i was going to say that i also use this same setting powder over my eyeshadow and other makeup.. especially around they eye area.. i can go to sleep and wakeup the next morning with my makeup still exactly the same..

I'm a big fan of Bare Escentials for day time use only.. but the mineral veil for setting is useless.. you really have to get a professional setting powder.. I use Kryolan.. you get a huge tub and it's not expensive.. google it..

ALSO SETTING YOUR FOUNDATION WITH POWDER IS A MUST! XOXO

| Reply

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

| Reply

You're welcome. I had the same problem before. Now I go out for like 5 hours and look exactly the same as when I put it on. Great stuff. Just make sure to let it dry completely before putting the foundation on or you'll get streaks

| Reply

Oh i wasnt aware of that! Thanx Kiki!!=)I will definetly check it out! Thanx for the advice!=)

Totally off subject Kim your friend Melody Thornton who is gorgeous should totally be lead of the PCD sorry but her voice is amazing why are they always shoving her aside? Wish she had a blog.

| Reply

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

It may also depend on what brand makeup youre wearing. You get what you pay for with makeup. MAC and MAKEUP FOREVER are two really good brands, I only really need a touchup say after work if I'm going out. EYESHADOW try BURGOIS, think thats whats it called

| Reply

Bare minerals also has a primer now. Works just like smasbox, except it doesnt make me break out. They also have an eyelid primer. You have to carry your mineral veil with you and put it on a few times a day, and you'll never have a problem

Hey Kim, did you ever have the Lasik eye surgery? How did it go?

For the lid, you also have the primer potion of Urban Decay. It works good too!

Ive just started using foundation and i use bare minerals foundation just like Mae does,it really blends nicely into ur skin and it looks very natural,but ive also noticed that it fades away and that it makes my skin look oily.I remembered that Kim has tipped us about the Smashbox primer, so i got a sample of it some days ago,and im going to try it and see if it makes it better,i really hope it does,because ive found the perfect color foundation and would like to still use it! Really happy for all the tips Kim!=) U r the best!
Mwuah mwuah

Hey Kim,

I love your classy, new look. Do you have any fashion advice or tips on how to look classy during the day when you're just running errands or going to class?

thanks kim great advice! my eyeshadow always comes off after like a hour so i am excited to try the mac paint!

| Reply

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!!

I use Signature Club A by Adrienne's (HSN)Jet Tech Wet Set jet-milled translucent powder and it is the best I have ever used! It comes in a large compact with brush and It goes on flawless and covers every little red mark or zit, and my face looks flawless

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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?!

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

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.

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?

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