The Khloe, Kim, and Kourtney Kardashian have launched their collection in Sears this season with patterns, colors and concepts.  The Kardashian Kollection, (yes- it is very cliche but it’s branding!) launched their line in the Meatpacking District this week and have no doubt that they will very successful.  Their line includes a variety of women’s wear, accessories and shoes.  Here are some pieces from the Kardashian Kollection, shot by Annie Leibowitz.

1. Thick is In

Well not too thick….but a light boy brow.  “Bushy is in!” says Vanita Parti founder of Blink Brow Bar.  Keep brows groomed with light trimming and tweezing and for a fuller effect.  Fill in brows by creating additonal hairs with a waxy brow pencil followed by a light coat of matching eyeshadow to the brows.  Ensure to follow your brow pattern when filling in.

2. Buff Nails

Buffing works to exfoliate the nail, the circulation creates heat to remove stains and smooth ridges on the nail.  Be caareful because over-buffing can thin the nail.  “A buffer has three sides, 1, 2 and 3. Use all three sides when using it for the first time and then just sides 2 and 3 to bring back the shine every few days. Only use side 1 on new nail growth,” says Leighton Denny, celebrity manicurist.

3. A for Androgynous

Try it, at least once.  Keep hair slicked using a holding spray/serum, these usually works best (you can use gel if you’d like but it is more damaging to the hair, instead try a sculpting putty).  Also try a lightly tossled look which can be also be achieved with the mentioned hair tools.  Compliment with a nude and matte lipstick and flushed cheeks.  Use a shade 2 to 2 tones lighter than your natural complexion along the contour of the cheek bone.  Finish your look with mascara.  Natural looking mascara is the counter point to Dramatic Effects Mascara.  It gives you thicker, longer lashes that still look and feel soft, light and natural.
