"Kim Kardashian has been described as having &amp;amp;#8220;a body of comic book proportions,&amp;amp;#8221; and she&amp;amp;#8217;s never been shy about flaunting it. When the 29-year-old star of E!&amp;amp;#8217;s Keeping Up With the Kardashians steps out of the house, you can bet money that (a) she&amp;amp;#8217;ll be wearing something tight, and (b) her hair and makeup will be done. And all that upkeep has a purpose: The woman is building an empire. She runs two Dash clothing stores with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe; has created a set of workout videos; serves as chief stylist for the online shoe company Shoe Dazzle; is producing a reality show, Crisis Control, about the PR biz; and will launch her first fragrance in February with Lighthouse Beauty. Phew! So Glamour thought she might need a break and offered to give her a taste of the low-maintenance life with this pared-down (and so pretty) makeunder. She indulged us, and then used all those free extra minutes to give us the scoop on babies, mean girls and her back-on-again boyfriend, Reggie Bush. On Her Makeunder &amp;amp;#8220;The look was really soft and beautiful, and it made me feel more comfortable to go with less makeup on.&amp;amp;#8221; Why She Loves Curve-Hugging Clothes &amp;amp;#8220;If I wear super-slouchy stuff, I don&amp;amp;#8217;t feel put together. You have the right to look good and be confident.&amp;amp;#8221; Her Best Get-Ahead Advice &amp;amp;#8220;So many people think that everything will be handed to them, and that&amp;amp;#8217;s just not the case. You have to work for what you get.&amp;amp;#8221; The Celeb She&amp;amp;#8217;s Dying to Make Over &amp;amp;#8220;Britney Spears. I feel I could style her a bit. I would love to see her hair glam and flowy.&amp;amp;#8221; Why She Switched Up Her Hair Color &amp;amp;#8220;I went blond last summer just to test it out. I felt like I was a different person, I swear. I do think blonds have more fun, but brunettes are sexier.&amp;amp;#8221; The Comments That Drive Her Nuts &amp;amp;#8220;Some people say really mean things about my being overweight. I read something on my Twitter that was like, &amp;amp;#8216;Oh, you still need to lose a few pounds.&amp;amp;#8217; And I&amp;amp;#8217;m just like, Seriously? Come on. If I&amp;amp;#8217;m happy and in shape, that&amp;amp;#8217;s all that should really matter.&amp;amp;#8221; Her Favorite Beauty Tip &amp;amp;#8220;My makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, taught me that after you put on concealer, set it with powder on top. It lasts longer.&amp;amp;#8221; The Beauty Phase She Most Regrets &amp;amp;#8220;When I was in high school, I used to wear these turquoise flowers in my hair&amp;amp;#8212;with turquoise makeup to match.&amp;amp;#8221; On Becoming an Aunt &amp;amp;#8220;Kourtney&amp;amp;#8217;s baby is the first in the family, and I&amp;amp;#8217;m just so excited! I&amp;amp;#8217;m going to spoil this baby. The first thing she asked me was like, &amp;amp;#8216;Kim, you know, I still want to go out; will you babysit?&amp;amp;#8217; I was like, &amp;amp;#8216;Of course!&amp;amp;#8217;&amp;amp;#8221; How She Spoils Reggie Bush &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m a great cook. His favorite meal is soul food: chicken and macaroni and cheese. That&amp;amp;#8217;s my specialty. I&amp;amp;#8217;ll cook it once a month with corn bread and greens. That I&amp;amp;#8217;ve mastered.&amp;amp;#8221; Any Wedding or Baby Urges? &amp;amp;#8220;No. I think about it all the time&amp;amp;#8212;it&amp;amp;#8217;s hard not to because of my family&amp;amp;#8212;but now isn&amp;amp;#8217;t my time.&amp;amp;#8221; Her Makeup Philosophy &amp;amp;#8220;I&amp;amp;#8217;m not one of those girls who sleep in makeup because they don&amp;amp;#8217;t want their boyfriend to see them without it. If you&amp;amp;#8217;re all glammed up, makeup&amp;amp;#8217;s just another accessory.&amp;amp;#8221;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
