I’m fascinated by the Kardashians, and I’m pretty sure everyone else is too, no matter how much they deny it. For a single family to have a successful reality show for 13 seasons and counting, while launching businesses and modeling contracts left, right and center is a feat, to put things mildly. That being said, we are all too smart to believe everything that comes out of the sisters’ mouths, especially when it comes to product endorsements. Skechers Shape-Ups and waist trainers, anyone? Knowing this, I set out to find the truth where Kardashian-approved products are concerned. Concentrating on the five sisters, I researched the wealth of articles out there detailing their intricate beauty routines, and googled each product to find out if the internet generally agreed that it was worth the buy. In the end, I included only the hair, face and makeup products that scored a 4-star rating or above on any combination of Sephora, Ulta, Amazon, Macy’s, Nordstrom, Target, Walmart and MakeupAlley (at least at the time of my research). I also chose to exclude anything too redundant, like six different lipstick recommendations from the same person, as well as any Kylie Cosmetics products, although I did include some picks from Kardashian Beauty.
Kourtney
Kourtney is among the most sophisticated of the siblings. The eldest Kardashian is a health nut and a fan of natural products in general. She takes quasi-religious care of her hair and face, and likes her makeup neutral.
