#WCW: Kristen Taekman’s Beauty Secrets & Chic Style

Real Housewives of New York City star Kristen Taekman has made some unfortunate recent headlines alongside her husband due to his stint on Ashley Madison. With all that mess around, we think Kristen deserves some positive recognition and love for the beautiful, stylish businesswoman she is.

One sign Kristen’s good stock: she’s a blogger too! Have you seen her fab blog Last Night’s Look? Mostly styled as a fashion/photo blog, it’s the perfect place to stalk her on #WomanCrushWednesday.

Kristen famously started her own nail polish brand, Pop of Color (available at Ricky’s NYC and pretty affordable at $8 a pop), but she’s got a lot more beauty tips to share too. For example, she’s pretty passionate about eye makeup removal.

“It is so important to properly remove your eye makeup,” Kristen notes. She likes La Prairie, Neutrogena Deep Clean, and Bioderma.

Kristen took some flak for trading in her signature short locks for long extensions at the RHONY reunion show, but no one had any room to besmirch her fab makeup look.

Kristen’s makeup artist Jacquelyn Grubbs used a beauty blender to blend in Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation, then used Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder to set.  Her concealer of choice: Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage.

CHEEKS: Jacquelyn used Kristen’s favorite blush, MAC Mineralize in Warm Soul, to color her cheeks, and BECCA Lowlight/Highlight Perfecting Palette to highlight her cheekbones.

BROWS: MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Fling;  MAC Eyeshadow in Omega

EYES:  Hourglass Modernist Eyeshadow Palette in Infinity;  Smolder MAC Eye Kohl Liner to line the eye and L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black to top off her lashes.

I was excited to learn that they finished with my personal favorite setting spray, Urban Decay All Nighter!

Who’s your favorite New York housewife? Are you a fan of Kristen’s?
