A more layered effect makes Kim's style less heavy looking and makes the added extensions blend in perfectly. A dab of moroccan oil (try this little wonder) on her roots helps control frizzies before her style is blow-dried with a round brush, then set in large pincurls (for sexy waves!) while warm.

Taylor preps Kim's dry skin with face and eye serum to moisturize and plump skin before adding foundation. "With darker skin, you often need to use two different foundation colors for the best match," says Taylor. Taylor applies Bobbi Brown Foundation Stick, $40, that's a shade lighter than Kim's skin to the center of her face (on the browbone, under the eyes and around the nose), then places darker foundation where the sun naturally hits (on her forehead and cheekbones). Lots of blending gives the foundation a very natural look.

Want all eyes on you? Then pick your best feature and run with it! Taylor chooses to pull focus toward Kim's big brown eyes with a smoky look.

"You need clean, smooth skin and soft brows to make the smoky eye pop," says Taylor, further emphasizing the importance of step four. Taylor applies a light brow gel to define and hold Kim's brows in place. She then adds copper eyeshadow as a highlight, blending it with a dark brown eyeshadow and plum-colored shadow liner along the upper lash line. Finishing off the look are false lashes and a sheer berry gloss.

Take the guesswork out of a smoky eye with a palette like Mally City Chick Smokey Eye Kit, $40.

"I love it! I feel and look younger, and I got what I wanted without cutting my hair short," says Kim, who immediately rushes out to a date with someone she met online. (We checked in days later, and while her date didn't work out, her new look worked like a charm; thanks to her new photo, she's getting twice as many responses to her profile.)
