"omg. you need to find us a dupe for the greed palette asap!! that was the perfect kardashian palette!!"
Asked by Anonymous
I have got so MANY questions from all of you asking me about where to locate Greed and what might be a dupe.
Let me first say there is no whole-palette dupe of this. Certain shades from other brands would be dupes of various shades inside, but many of these would be high-end, since drugstore brands are VERY weak at coming up with matte shades.
I can list you all the shades from MAC that would match Greed, but then every single shadow I list would cost more than the entire palette ($5), so it just doesn’t make sense.
I suggest you get yourself »HERE« - like RIGHT now and stock up while they’re still $5 (instead of some silly price on eBay some day), if you can no longer find it in the drugstores around you.
Silent Treatment, which I recently featured is also here.

Cream/beige shade: MAC Brule
Peach/Tan shade: MAC Bamboo (more tan than Greed), MAC Tete-a-Tint (slightly warmer)
Black: MAC Carbon

I think this is by far my favorite Kim K. look in a very long time. She’s always looked fabulous wearing that heavy smoky eye and nude lips, but I love this strong purple-pink lip with the demi cat-eye and spiky lashes.
This look also reminds me of another, here, but is a cleaner and more “classic” look, with emphasis on strong contoured cheeks rather than a doll-like glow.

Get The Look With:
Very full coverage on the skin, and very bright under eye area. Kim uses concealer lighter than her skin tone, but you don’t need to do so if you don’t like that sort of look.
Apply very soft brown-beige shadow along the socket line for subtle contouring. Then apply a sofy black kohl pencil to both lash lines and water lines. Be sure to reach right into the inner corner at the tear duct, as this emphasizes the cat-eye shape better.
To create the perfect kitten flick, follow the angle of your lower lid and extend outward. This might be tricky due to natural folds at the end of your eye, so the easiest way is to use a “stencil” by applying surgical tape as a guiding line. [Click here for photos on how to do it.] Apply spiky false lashes.
Kim has very chiseled cheeks, but if you don’t, I really don’t recommend that you lay on the bronzer to try to mimic it. Just a little on the underside of cheekbones will do. The emphasis should be on the intense rosy blush. Apply a purple-pink blush (Try MAC’s Coygirl or La Femme Mulberry for a less costly alternative) along the high points of cheekbones. Avoid bringing it too close towards your nose as the entire under-eye area down to her apples is very highlighted.
Apply MAC Up the Amp lipstick with a brush for extra definition, paying attention to emphasis your lip contours. If you don’t want to use a matching purple-pink liner. I suggest blotting gently with single-ply tissue, then reapplying for extra intensity and staying power.
