Kim Kardashian has been described as having “a body of comic book proportions,” and she’s never been shy about flaunting it. When the 29-year-old star of E!’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians steps out of the house, you can bet money that (a) she’ll be wearing something tight, and (b) her hair and makeup will be done. And all that upkeep has a purpose: The woman is building an empire. She runs two Dash clothing stores with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe; has created a set of workout videos; serves as chief stylist for the online shoe company Shoe Dazzle; is producing a reality show, Crisis Control, about the PR biz; and will launch her first fragrance in February with Lighthouse Beauty. Phew!
So Glamour thought she might need a break and offered to give her a taste of the low-maintenance life with this pared-down (and so pretty) makeunder. She indulged us, and then used all those free extra minutes to give us the scoop on babies, mean girls and her back-on-again boyfriend, Reggie Bush.
On Her Makeunder
“The look was really soft and beautiful, and it made me feel more comfortable to go with less makeup on.”
Why She Loves Curve-Hugging Clothes
“If I wear super-slouchy stuff, I don’t feel put together. You have the right to look good and be confident.”
Her Best Get-Ahead Advice
“So many people think that everything will be handed to them, and that’s just not the case. You have to work for what you get.”
The Celeb She’s Dying to Make Over
“Britney Spears. I feel I could style her a bit. I would love to see her hair glam and flowy.”
Why She Switched Up Her Hair Color
“I went blond last summer just to test it out. I felt like I was a different person, I swear. I do think blonds have more fun, but brunettes are
sexier.”
The Comments That Drive Her Nuts
“Some people say really mean things about my being overweight. I read something on my Twitter that was like, ‘Oh, you still need to lose a few pounds.’ And I’m just like, Seriously? Come on. If I’m happy and in shape, that’s all that should really matter.”
Her Favorite Beauty Tip
“My makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, taught me that after you put on concealer, set it with powder on top. It lasts longer.”
The Beauty Phase She Most Regrets
“When I was in high school, I used to wear these turquoise flowers in my hair—with turquoise makeup to match.”
On Becoming an Aunt
“Kourtney’s baby is the first in the family, and I’m just so excited! I’m going to spoil this baby. The first thing she asked me was like, ‘Kim, you know, I still want to go out; will you babysit?’ I was like, ‘Of
course!’”
How She Spoils Reggie Bush
“I’m a great cook. His favorite meal is soul food: chicken and macaroni and cheese. That’s my specialty. I’ll cook it once a month with corn bread and greens. That I’ve mastered.”
Any Wedding or Baby Urges?
“No. I think about it all the time—it’s hard not to because of my family—but now isn’t my time.”
Her Makeup Philosophy
“I’m not one of those girls who sleep in makeup because they don’t want their boyfriend to see them without it. If you’re all glammed up, makeup’s just another accessory.”
