Kim Kardashian's Wedding Makeup from Lancôme.

August 30, 2011/

The fairytale wedding of beauty icon Kim Kardashian and NBA star Kris Humphries was a fittingly glamorous affair.

We have the intimate details of Kim’s bridal look straight from her longtime makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, who used Lancôme on her big day. Kim is a loyal fan of Hypnôse mascara so the collaboration was a natural fit!

THE LOOK:

Dedivanovic put the spotlight on one of Kim’s best features—her eyes—with the Color Design 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palette in Golden Frenzy. Lancôme’s new Hypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara in So Black! played up Kim’s signature long lashes.
