Kim Kardashian, one of the most influential names in the fashion and beauty world, celebrates her 44th birthday today. She went from Paris Hilton’s personal assistant to an it-girl, a businesswoman, and the girl they dream of emulating.
Kim has undergone a major beauty transformation during her time in the industry, which can be seen in paparazzi, photographers’ photos and images from the star’s personal archive. That’s exactly what we did. Below are the main stages of Kim Kardashian becoming what she is now.
2006–2010: The birth of Kim Kardashian and her search for herself


Kim Kardashian began her career as the personal assistant and stylist to 2000s leading lady Paris Hilton. Hilton held the position from 2003 to 2006 until she got into a fight with her best friend, Nicole Richie. Kim took on the role of the idle friend. Thus, he became a regular guest at social parties.
At the time, her style was simple and relaxed: voluminous hairstyles, smoky eyes, lots of blush and highlighter, and emphasis on the lips. Who was looking for himself and trying on his image.

2011–2015: Creation of corporate image and transition to icon status

Kim gained immense popularity with the release of the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She began to actively work on her image together with make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic. It was she who created her signature make-up – carved cheekbones, peach-pink blush, long eyelashes, completely matte skin and highlighter on the convex parts of the face. This is exactly the image that stuck in Kardashian’s mind. By the way, at the same time, Kim began to be accused of rhinoplasty, but the star attributed everything to the power of contouring. However, he never commented on the sudden growth of his upper lip.

At the same time, Kim began experimenting with her hair – voluminous curls were replaced by smooth styles, and naturally dark strands were given either highlighting or complete bleaching.

2016–2020: Becoming a new It-girl and starting a cosmetics brand

In the mid-2010s, Kim Kardashian was the talk of the town. She has become a real trendsetter and one of the main symbols of the beauty world. Riding on the wave of popularity, she launched her own beauty brand, KKW Beauty, in 2017 and two years later, the Skims lingerie brand. Kim’s confession was such that she could do anything and people would buy it.

We remember the end of the 2010s with Kim Kardashian’s shocking appearances. She experimented not only with style (thanks Kanye West for that), but also with makeup and hairstyles. Kim constantly tried herself in new roles, but at the same time always remained glamorous.

2021–2024: Transition to naturalness and minimalism

Over time, Kim shifted her focus to simplicity and minimalism. His style became more sophisticated, but still recognizable; emphasis on the eyes, penciled lips, matte skin and peach blush are still a priority. Sometimes it even seems that the makeup created by Mario Dedivanovic has become the DNA of his image.

The tendency towards sincerity could not escape Kardashian. In recent years, Kim has become closer to her fans; She’s not shy about showing off her flaws, sharing makeup-free photos, and sharing that she’s been struggling with psoriasis for several years.
