Kim Kardashian's Sexiest Makeup Looks That Will Make You Thirsty AF

In a quest to find some seriously smokin' makeup, I scoured Kim Kardashian's Instagram (aka I went through 3,631 posts​!) to find her top 10 sexiest looks — all so you could have date night inspo for days.

1. Bronzed and Beautiful

Not only did Kim win for best hair and makeup during the 2016 VMAs, but she topped this list with the look because it's effortlessly sexy. Kim's makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic explained that he was feeling inspired by his recent trip to Hawaii, and Kim's sun-kissed golden goddess vibe sure makes her look like she hit the award show immediately after a day on the beach.

2. The Midas (Makeup) Touch

This is another one of my favorite looks that Kim has ever worn, because I love how well everything works together. Her IDGAF sexy-messy hairstyle, juxtaposed with her flawlessly executed gilded eye, her subtle contour, and perfect nude lip — this look is everything.

3. Fully Lined and Flawless

Kim has been blessed with insanely abundant natural lashes (and maybe some help from a few individual falsies), which is why she only needs a little extra liner love to really complete a dramatic look. I love how she's just wearing a subtle taupe shadow on her lids, a fuller lined upper and lower inner rim, and mascara here, but the glam factor is still 100.

4. A Touch of Taupe Smoke

Maybe I'm just a sucker for a sultry bronze smoky lid, but I love this look. It's sexy yet understated, and it's super easy to execute. All you do is blend a shimmery taupe cream eye shadow over your lids, pop on some mascara, fill in your brows (foundation and contouring optional!)​, and go.

5. A Drop-Dead Gorgeous Red Lip

The beauty of a bold, crimson-colored lip is that you can spend zero time on your face and look like you spent a ton of time getting ready. Here, Kim's makeup artist applied her red lip, and then accentuated the inner corners of her eyes, the bridge of her nose, and her cupid's bow with gold highlighter. She has neutral tones on her eyes and non-touring on her cheeks, and she looks so sleek.

6. Frosted Neutrals

I love how the soft tones of her makeup — taupe-bronze shadow, gold highlights, a nude-pink lip — complement the dusty rose, cream, silver, and pearl shades that make up her outfit.

7. Unconventional Cat-Eye

If you're tired of creating the usual cat-eye that flicks up toward the tail of your brow, take a page out of Kim's beauty book and opt for a winged liner look on your lower lash line. To copy this cat-eye, using a kohl black pencil, line your lower lash line, extending the liner up toward the tail of your brow, then set it with a black powder for a smoky effect.

8. No-Makeup Makeup

Even though Kim clearly woke up wearing last night's face (she calls herself out for falling asleep in her lewk), she managed to slay this selfie in her stunning makeup, which includes a bronze smoky eye, a shit-ton of lashes, and a baby pink lip. *Plans on wearing makeup to bed in hopes of waking up like this.*

9. Champagne Gaze

The shimmery champagne-colored shadow that Kim's wearing here is a nice departure from the deeper neutral tones she usually wears. It plays off of her platinum hair perfectly as well. To create the look, swipe a finely milled peachy-silver shadow" over your eyes, line them with black liner, and add mascara.

10. Gilded and Gunmetal

Paired with this intense smize Kim's got going on, this look has landed a spot in the top 10. To recreate these come-hither eyes, apply a wash of gold shadow all over your lid, then line the upper and lower lash lines with black liner and smoke it out with a smudger brush to amp up the smolder. Finally, apply a few coats of mascara and fill in any sparse spots in your brow. Boom: You're a bombshell, just like KKW.
