Kim Kardashian West looked amazing when she snagged her award for top influencer at last night's CFDA Awards. Longtime collaborator Mario Dedivanovic created the gorgeous makeup look using almost exclusively KKW Beauty products, describing it as classic "Kim K Glam."
After prepping her skin with a few Rodial favorites, Dedivanovic applied KKW Beauty Conceal Bake and Brighten Kit in Shade 7, $80, setting it with KKW Beauty Baking Powder in Bake 2, $18. He then got to work creating that famous contour using KKW Beauty Creme Contour & Highlight Kit in Medium I and II, $48, contrasting with some glow from the new KKW Beauty Highlighter Palette in Palette I, $44. For her brows, he used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Medium Brown, $21.
Guess which palette Dedivanovic used to create the scene-stealing glossy eye look with? Why, the KKW x Mario Palette, $44, of course. He added the shade Loyalty to create definition at the lash line, also mixing the shade with Armenia all over the lid. For a finishing touch, he topped it off with a touch of KKW x Mario Gloss in Supernude, $18, to give it that ultra-shiny look. Finally, he created her lip look by using the KKW Beauty Lip Liner in Nude 2, $12, topped with a coat of the KKW Beauty Creme Lipstick in Nude 2, $18.
Now, onto that epic high pony (teased to perfection by celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan): After prepping damp hair with Color Wow Brass Banned Correct & Perfect Mousse for Dark Hair, $24, he blow dried with a diffuser to enhance her texture. He then topped her strands off with Color Wow Pop & Lock Gloss Treatment, $20, and went in to add some defined waves by wrapping random sections of hair around the GHD Curve Classic Curl Iron, $199.

Emma Stone just rocked what might be the coolest smoky eye ever at the Louis Vuitton 2019 Cruise show. So, naturally, we asked celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin to fill us in on exactly how to copy the look.
Goodwin started by prepping Stone's dewy complexion and lips with Sjal Kura Intuitif Intense Hydration Cream, $260, and Chanel Rouge Coco Baume, $37. She then created a perfect base by applying Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation in Gobi, $49, with a Beautyblender, adding in some Nars Radiant Cream Concealer in Chantilly, $30, for extra coverage where it was needed. For the lightly sculpted cheeks, Goodwin used Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Sheer Colour in 30, $58. She then highlighted with a mix of Nars Highlighting Blush in Free Soul, $30, and the ever-iconic RMS Living Luminizer, $38.
As for the scene-stealing eyes, Goodwin put the buzzy Nars Erdem Fleur Fatale Eye Palette, $49, to good use, layering the shimmery copper Daydream shade over the matte ivory Mythios shade. She then created a dramatic extended wing using Nars Unrestricted Satin Eyeliner Stylo in Black, $28, further emphasizing Stone's famously Keane-esque peepers with curled lashes topped with two coats of Givenchy Parad' Eyes Mascara. Oh, and to frame it all to perfection, Goodwin applied Nars Brow Defining Cream in Tanami, $24, as well as a clear brow gel.
Last but not least, Goodwin kept things simple on the lips, first penciling them in with Nars Lip Liner in Borneo, $22, then blending it in with the new Nars Orgasm Afterglow Lip Balm, $28, for a soft, peachy look.

Set on an ocean liner replica docked in the middle of the Grand Palais, the show made for quite the spectacle. Complexion makeup looked flawless and fresh-faced but otherwise barely-there — the real star of the show was the graphic navy blue liner. "The print of some of the dresses with a futuristic vibe inspired me," explained Global Creative Designer for Makeup and Colour at Chanel Lucia Pica. "So to convey this modernity and follow Karl Lagerfeld's brief I created a strong blue mat graphic eye and kept the skin super fresh, balmy with a touch of glimmer."
After prepping skin with Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Serum, $110, and Chanel La Solution 10, $80, and priming the eye area with Chanel Hydra Beauty Micro Gel Yeux, $68, Pica set to work creating that fresh-faced base with a light layer of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua, $50. She then cleaned up any imperfections using Chanel Correcteur de Chanel, $43, and set it all up with Chanel Natural Finish Loose Powder, $52.
Brow-wise, Pica kept things simple: just a tiny bit of Chanel Stylo Sourcils Waterproof, $33, topped with a coat of Chanel Le Gel Sourcils, $32, for some light taming. Cheeks got a dusting of Chanel Palette Essentielle, $60, and lips got a touch of Chanel Rouge Coco Baume, $37, topped with a layer of Chanel Rouge Allure, $37, in the shade Rouge Ingenue.
As for the pièce de résistance? For the eyes, Pica got creative with some of the brand's new summer launches, sketching the graphic winged shape with the new Chanel Stylo Ombre et Contour in the shade Bleu Nuit, $34, also adding in some detail work with Chanel Les 4 Ombres in Quiet Revolution, $61. Finally, she capped the dramatic look off with a healthy coat of Chanel Le Volume Revolution de Chanel.
Pretty darn gorgeous, right? What do you think, will you be taking this look out for a spin at your next summer soiree?

In addition to this mysterious new offering from Glossier, Sir John also used the Glossier Perfecting Skin Tint, $26, in Dark and Deep to finesse her complexion, a mixture of Glossier Cloud Paint, $18, in Beam and Haze for blush, and the brand's already-iconic Glossier Boy Brow, $16, in Brown as brow pomade. As the finishing touch, he also applied Glossier Body Hero Daily Perfecting Cream, $22, for a natural all-over glow.
According to Allure, Sir John used products from Yves Saint Laurent and L'Oreal to supplement all that Glossier: He used a mix of Yves Saint Laurent Beaute Tatouage Couture, $36, in Fuschia Intime and Carmine Encounter for her flawless purple lips, as well as the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Total Cover Concealing & Contour Kit, $16.99, for a little extra coverage, and a layering of the L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion, $14.99, and the L'Oreal True Match Lumi Shimmerista Highlighting Powder, $14.99, in Sunlight to help boost her glow.
As for her maximum-level glamorous braids (topped with a dramatic fascinator, because of course), they were styled by frequent Beyonce collaborator Neal Farinah, who captioned a striking image displaying Bey's thigh-length braid ponytail, "THE QUEEN IS BACK" — which frankly sums everything up perfectly.

Makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan started off by prepping Brown's skin with Kiehl's Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate, $62 to smooth and moisturize (though of course it must be said: Brown has no lines to speak of). She also used Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado, $48 on her eyes, Kiehl's Facial Fuel No-Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm, $9 on her lips, and some shine-inhibiting Kiehl's Micro-Blur Skin Perfector, $35 on her t-zone.
For coverage atop that flawless base, Deenihan applied La Prairie Skin Caviar Concealer Foundation, $225 with a damp sponge. She then contoured with the Avon True Color Transforming Contouring Stick in Medium -- and achieved that enviably epic glow by layering the Avon True Color Illuminating Stick and Avon Powder Highlight.
As for that dramatic cat eye? Deenihan used Avon True Color Glimmersticks Eyeliner in Blackest Black, $7, and added in some extra lash definition with some generous coats of Avon True Color Wide Awake Mascara, $8. For lips, Deenihan kept things really simple -- just a couple swipes of Kiehl's Butterstick Lip Treatment, $19.50.
