Kim Kardashian used to stop traffic with curving-hugging Hervé Léger bandage dresses, but if you’ve been keeping up with the reality star as much as I have, you would have noticed that she’s done a complete 180.

“My style used to be overly voluptuous. I’m still sexy, but a little bit more understated. Effortlessly chic,” she explained to me at the Pink Agenda’s Pre-Mother’s Day Bash at the W Hotel. “There’s not as much thought put into it. I don’t match everything like I used to. I used to be obsessed with matching everything.”

Kim, who wore a sheer top and high-waisted bubble skirt by H&M (“I love it there!”), vintage chain fringe necklace and Christian Louboutin pumps, now shops Forever 21, Burberry, Marc Jacobs and Marchesa— “designers that I probably wouldn’t have been into before because I was so focused on tight, revealing outfits.”

After running into the raven-haired fashionista on a number of occasions and marveling at her impeccable beauty, I just had to ask her about her makeup must-haves. These included foundation by Make Up For Ever and Giorgio Armani. “I’m also a big fan of any kind of blush,” she dished. “You always need blush in your purse to make you look a little bit alive.”

At night, it all comes off. “My mom tells me that I have to wash my face with a hot wash cloth everyday and make sure I take off all of my makeup,” she said. Mother knows best!
