The Makeup Evolution of Kim Zolciak-Biermann
A makeup artist walks us through Kim's ever-evolving look.
Bravo fans have seen Kim Zolciak go through a lot over the years. In Season 1 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta she was buying Dior and dating Big Poppa, and eight years later, she's now married to Kroy Biermann and has a total of six children (and is still buying Dior). Other things have changed, as well. Not only have her wigs gotten bigger and better, but her beauty game has also improved with age. Since Kim has had to shoot down plastic surgery and photoshop rumors in the past, we asked Smashbox Pro Lead Makeup Artist Lori Taylor-Davis to analyze Kim's photos through the years to tell us what she's done makup-wise to evolve her look.
1. Season 1 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta
"Kim Zolciak’s makeup look has transformed from a dark, dramatic look to a subtle, fresher appeal which creates a more youthful appearance," says Taylor-Davis.
2. Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta
3. Season 3 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta
4. Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta
"You can tell the difference in her brows from Season 1 and 2 to Season 3 and 4 since they have lightened up, which brightens her face and draws more attention to her eyes."
5. Season 1 of Don't Be Tardy
"Warmer tones on eyes, lips and cheeks in recent seasons are very flattering for her skin tone as well."
6. Season 2 of Don't Be Tardy
"I love nude/pink lips, and she definitely mastered that look in recent seasons."
7. Season 3 of Don't Be Tardy
8. Season 4 of Don't Be Tardy
"She has lightened up on the frosty eyeshadow, too, so her eye look is more modern and enhancing for her eye shape."
9. 2015 Appearance on Watch What Happens Live
In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen mentioned that Kim looked a little different, but while she admitted to overdrawn lips, she says nothing on her face has been permanently altered.
