It'll Cost You Roughly $27,000 a Year to Look Like Kim Kardashian
by Andy Neuenschwander
Let's say you want to look like Kim Kardashian. Not in the sense that you want to get all kinds of plastic surgery to look exactly like her, but you just want to have the same makeup, hair and other style details that go into Kim's daily routine.
Well, as it turns out that'll cost you quite a bit of money. In fact, it could be more than $27,000 per year just for hair and makeup.
Kim recently ran through her beauty routine in an interview with beauty blog "Into the Gloss," and Defamer took the time to tally everything up. Here are their findings:
"Face Cleansers and Creams
By Terry Pureté de Rose Refreshing Cleansing Gel, $52.
Guerlain Orchidée Impériale The Rich Cream, $455.
C+C Vitamin Cream, $115.
Tracie Martyn Shakti Resculpting Cream, $155.
Epicuren Bulgarian Rose Otto, on sale for $42.95 on Amazon.
Sunscreens
La Mer's The Broad Spectrum SPF 50 UV Protecting Fluid, $85.
Lancer Skin Care Sheer Fluid Sun Shield SPF 30, $48.
Laser
Kim reveals, "I have this at-home LED light therapy machine called Quasar MD Plus that I got it for my psoriasis because I'll try anything." - $795.
Makeup
MAC 182 Buffer Brush, $53.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, $62.
Joe Blasco Ultrabase Foundation, $19.50.
Kardashian Beauty Endless Summer Matte Bronzer, $14.99.
Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit, $40.
Lancôme Définicils High Definition Mascara, $27.50.
Kardashian Beauty Individualist Lashes, $10.98. "
Eyebrows
"I look so different when I have my eyebrows done. Anastasia Soare [of Anastasia Beverly Hills] does my brows," Kim reveals.
A brow shaping appointment with a lesser-known brow stylist at Anastasia Beverly Hills costs $50.
Hair
Kim says she gets a blowout every five days, which I'd conservatively price at $60 including tip.
Hmm so carry the one, and carry it again, and carry it again, and uhh, okay that brings us to $2,087.75."
If you figure that Kim has to re-stock supplies every month and get her blowouts and eyebrows every week plus the occasional full-on haircut and highlights (which she does frequently), that'll bring you to about $27,000 a year or more.
Or you could just grab some stuff from Target and call it a day.
