Kim, 42, posed for the close-up shot donning long eyelashes and a plump nude lip, and her dark hair flowing straight down.

She looked away from the camera as the straps from her outfit and massive diamond necklaces sparkled in the frame.

Ariel – who is also the go-to makeup artist for Kim’s sister, Kylie Jenner, 25 – gushed over the glam session in his caption.

He wrote: @kimkardashian I used to dream of doing your make up. And to be quite honest, I still get giddy about it.. I swear the feeling never gets old. Thank you for always trusting in me. xx.”

Fans couldn’t get over Kim’s stunning appearance and said so in the comments.

However, many had a different reaction after the snap was shared on a popular Kardashians message board.

The original poster started the conversation by writing in their caption: “Her LiPs though.”

Others agreed in the thread, believing the model had gone too far with her makeover.

NATURAL LOOK

Kim has undergone quite the transformation since her earlier days on reality TV, and she’s rarely seen without a full face of makeup in photos online.

The star surprised fans over the weekend when she flaunted her real skin texture in a TikTok video.

Kim bared her natural complexion and pimples in the silly clip filmed with her 10-year-old daughter, North.

Viewers noticed the TV star’s completely bare look, as she’s been repeatedly accused of concealing her face and body with filters and Photoshop edits.

Meanwhile, Kim’s daughter appeared to be sporting makeup, wearing longer eyelashes and mascara.

Kim shares North and her three younger children: Saint, seven; Chicago, five; and Pslam, four, with her ex-husband, Kanye West.

CHANGE OF HEART

Kanye, 46, previously voiced his disapproval of Kim allowing their daughter to post on the platform.

He also expressed that he wasn’t happy with the preteen wearing makeup at such a young age.

However, the rapper has reportedly had a change of heart and is more accepting of North using the outlet.

A source close to Kanye claimed to Us Weekly last month that he has slightly changed his stance.

The insider explained: “Although Kanye disagrees with North being allowed to post on TikTok, he appreciates Kim being reasonable about certain content she posts.

“Kanye has a really strong bond with North, and even though he completely trusts her, he knows she’s still very young and can’t always make the best judgment call on what’s appropriate to share with the public and what’s not.”
