So, why do we love Kim Kardashian so much?

 Kimberly Noel "Kim" Kardashian   was born on October 21, 1980. An American socialite, television personality, model, and actress. 
                                                              
Dark haired beauty Kim Kardashian became an unexpected star after the first airing of her hit E! Entertainment reality series “Keeping up with the Kardashians.” The show follows the exploits of the Kardashian/Jenner family, which includes father Bruce Jenner, mom Kris Jenner, Kim, KourtneyKhloe and Rob Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner, in their Calabasas home. The shows fourth season concluded on February 21, 2010 delivering over 4.8 million total viewers marking E!’s most-watched telecast ever.  - Kim Kardashian Bio.      

So why do we love Kim Kardashian so much? Aside from the mere fact that she is one of the hottest TV personality of our generation, she is idolized by many. Not just by men, but almost all  the women out there. Could it be just her looks or is it because she serves as an example that no matter what mistakes, issues we had dealt with in the past... "We have to keep going".

Kim has been involved with scandals in the past, has eloped and got married secretly BUT instead of repeating the same mistake, she has proved that she could turn the table by doing good for herself and accomplish more by grabbing every opportunity that comes and knock on her door!

From the highest rated Reality TV Show to having her own fragrance, jewelery collection, acting and at some point, recorded a single called " Jam (Turn It Up) "  featuring The Dream. (Even though she knew that she doesn't really have a voice to be a singer as another profession). And that should have been the best quality of her that youth today admires about. She is simply not afraid to step out and show that if she can achieve all those, so can we. We should not stop dreaming to reach what we would like to accomplish in life, but also to evolve and improve ourselves in the process.

She is definitely not just a bombshell but she is one of many celebrities right now that is giving something back to the community. According from  Look To The Stars  interview, when asked what charity she supports,  "I am a heavy supporter of the Dream Foundation. My mom and stepdad are on the board. The Dream Foundation grants wishes to terminally ill adults. Every six months I do huge Ebay auctions through Auction Cause, where I give a portion of the proceeds to the Dream Foundation.", Kim answered. "When you can help someone that can’t help themselves, it is the most heart warming feeling in the world! I would recommend to just lend your time, giving back doesn’t mean financial, anyone can do it!", she added.


Get that Kim Kardashian Look!


Mario on Get The Face! of Kim Kardashian
"I’ve gotten so many Get The Face! requests for Kim’s red carpet makeup that she rocked at the Unbreakable launch party in LA.  She looked gorgeous as always – her hair was slicked back in a pony tail and she wore all black with beautiful gold detailing on the shoulders.  I wanted the makeup to compliment her whole look and to have a nice overall balance so I went with golden tones on her skin and eyes and blended golds with pinks for her lips and cheeks.  Read on for the complete beauty breakdown as I reveal how you too can Get The Face! ;-) "- on MakeUpbyMario.com
