" It&amp;#039;s easy to look damn good when you have a face like Kim Kardashian&amp;#039;s. But, we also know that behind every gorgeous celeb there&amp;#039;s a super talented makeup artist fine-tuning her best attributes. Case in point: Pati Dubroff, beauty guru and creator of Kim&amp;#039;s modern-retro look on our April cover. We called up Dubroff to ask her a few Q&amp;#039;s about her inspiration for the cover and how to recreate it. Here&amp;#039;s what she had to say: &amp;quot;Kim&amp;#039;s look was based off of Sofia Loren, but a very soft version of her; I wanted it to be more as if Sophia was at home in Rome instead of her signature makeup,&amp;quot; says Dubroff. &amp;quot;[Plus] Kim has one of the most incredible faces that can pull off that chic vintage glamour, so that&amp;#039;s what urged me to go with this look; it&amp;#039;s structured yet soft and not exaggerated.&amp;quot; Want to copy KK&amp;#039;s Cosmo cover makeup? #Duh. Use a medium coverage foundation to get flawless skin and top it with a soft pink powder blush. Then, Dubroff suggests reaching for a brown eye liner (to keep the look soft; black tends to be more intense) and tracing your upper lash line, creating a subtle flick toward the outer corner of your eye. &amp;quot;The lashes weren&amp;#039;t an over statement and the lip was soft, but the eye was elongated thanks to the wing I gave it, which was the nod to Sophia.&amp;quot; So, what do you think of Kim K&amp;#039;s soft makeup? And, more importantly, when are you trying on this look?  Follow Carly Cardellino on Facebook and Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
