Thierry Pourtoy, one of Kyle’s makeup artists says that Kyle is beautiful without makeup and has great skin, so he goes light on the foundation. He uses Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover foundation on her which is known for high coverage and camera-ready skin, and powder only on the T-Zone [source]. Pamella Brogardi used shades 128+140 on Kyle Richards in the BTS photo above [source].

Kyle Richards Eye Makeup

For this smokey eye interview look on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills makeup artist Pamella Brogardi used MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow in Fathom’s Deep ($20)

and Lorac ‘Unzipped Gold’ eyeshadow palette ($42). This palette is so gorgeous. The colors would work great from everyday to special events and would be perfect to travel with.

Kyle says she wears MAC’s Satin Taupe eyeshadow in the opening titles of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The purple undertones are great for hazel and green eyes [source].

Pamella has used the Stila ‘Perfect Me, Perfect Hue” Palette in Medium/Tan ($39) on Kyle’s interview look as well.

Kyle’s lashes are Red Cherry in #103.

Kyle’s Lashes are Red Cherry in style 747 ($10). Check out my post on False Lashes for Beginners.

Kyle wore Red Cherry False Eyelashes in Lottie ($3.95) to the Oscars this year.

After noticing that strip lashes can make you look older, Kyle now prefers individuals at the end for a more natural, younger look [source]. I recommend the MAC 30 Lash individuals ($15) which have short, medium, and long lash lengths. Lisa Vanderpump is also a fan of individual false eyelashes.

For mascara, Kyle is a fan of the cult classic and super affordable L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara  ($7)[source]. Former Shahs of Sunset star Lilly Ghalichi loves this mascara as well.

She also like’s Benefit’s They’re Real Mascara ($24) [source].

One surprising beauty product Kyle Richards uses is Vaseline on the tops of her lashes because they get dry from makeup or crying too much. [source] Cynthia Bailey from Real Housewives of Atlanta is a big Vaseline lover as well.

In her makeup bag Kyle has Urban Decay black eyeliner ($17). [source]

I love that Kyle’s mom told her long hair and eyebrows are her signature look so she shouldn’t mess with them. For her brows, Kyle says she used to go to Anastasia Beverly Hills religiously, but said they just stopped growing back. [source]

Kyle uses Benefit’s Gimme Brow + Volume Eyebrow Gel ($24). This is a tinted brow gel with microfibers that add volume to the brow and help it look defined and filled in. I love this stuff!

“I am old school; I don’t look at makeup tutorials on You Tube. I prefer to look at books by Kevyn Aucoin.”[source]

Kyle Richards’ Skin Care

Kyle says she gets laser treatments to help with fine lines and brown spots. She regrets sun exposure when younger and always wears sunscreen now. [source]

Kyle admits to using Botox (which I just got in Beverly Hills at Alchemy43 and have been loving), but doesn’t believe in fillers. [source]

She also likes glycolic acid in her skin care (just like Sonja Morgan) which is an exfoliant that helps shed layers of dead skin to make it smoother [source]. Paula’s Choice Skin Perfecting 8% AHA Gel Exfoliant ($29) would be a great option to try to get Kyle Richards’ amazing skin.

To prep Kyle’s skin for a full face of flawless makeup, Pamela uses Glamglow Thirstymud Hydrating Treatment ($24). Thirstymud uses hyaluronic acid to deeply hydrate for a dewy, glowing complexion.

“I also like to use a heavy moisturizer with vitamin C. I really love Peter Thomas Roth Camu Camu ($72). It reduces fine lines and spots without having to layer on ten different products.” [source]

Kyle’s makeup artist Pamela also has used Vitamin C infused Sunday Riley CEO Protect + Repair Moisturizer ($22) on Kyle. [source]

Kyle Richards’ mom taught her to always remove her makeup before bed so she is fanatical about it. She uses wipes to remove makeup [source] like the MAC Wipes ($26).

Kyle uses her Clarisonic Skin Cleansing System ($169) to wash her face after a heavy makeup day to make sure she can get it all off. [source]

“I never ever use soap on my face,” Kyle said. “I use Dr. Paul Nassif’s exfoliating cleanser ($18). I just use a little bit. But it’s a great cleanser and not too rough. My daughter even steals it from me!” [source]

Kyle has dry skin and carries Nassif MD Peri-Orbital Complex ($50) in her purse to keep her under eye area hydrated. [source]

Kyle Richard’s Facialist

One not-so-standard beauty procedure Kyle Richards’ facialist Carina Tajinian gives her is electric facials. They use electrical current to lift and firm the muscles of the face. [source]

She has also posted on Instagram about getting a 24 karat gold facial.

She also likes microdermabrasion which I’ve posted about before here. [source]

One affordable mask Kyle uses at home that’s not made out of literal gold is the St. Ives Mineral Clay Firming Mask. [source]

Kyle Richards’ Hair

Kyle’s secret to having the best hair in Beverly Hills is that she doesn’t use a lot of heat, won’t put tools on highest temperature, and she doesn’t like a lot of product because it dulls shine.

She’s also fanatical about brushing her hair slowly from the bottom up and then brush through. She tells her daughters to stop brushing if you hear that snag sound because hair will break and not come back. [source] I would guess Kyle uses a fancy Mason Pearson hair brush.

“‘I’m always tell my girls, ‘you have to baby your hair.’ I use a paddle brush, and not too much heat or product – that dulls the shine. I don’t blow dry it every day, and I’ll also leave a little bit of conditioner in it sometimes.” [source]

Unlike Erika Jayne and Lisa Vanderpump, Kyle Richards says “I’ve had no [hair] extensions ever,” she says. “They are bad for your hair and fortunately I’ve never needed any.”[source]

And when she says less is more she means it. “I don’t use hairspray,” she told us. “I don’t wash it every day. When I’m not filming I don’t use a blow dryer at all. I’ll just wash it, and let it dry naturally after I tie it in a knot.” [source]

Kyle Richards has said many times in the past that she uses
Pantene shampoo and conditioner, but recently she swears by sulfate-free shampoo [source].

I would imagine she would use something fancy like the Oribe Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo ($49).

Kyle has also said she uses Pantene for her hair and Nourage vitamins ($60) to keep her hair long and strong. [source]

She uses a Brazilian blowout conditioner [source] like the Brazilian Blowout Acai Anti-Frizz Conditioner ($18).

For deep conditioning Kyle likes Macadamia hair masks ($20) [source] like the Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Masque.

Kyle uses Moroccan hair oil ($15) to keep flyaways in place. [source]

Kyle Richards’ hair stylist and one of her current makeup artists is Pamella Brogardi. [source] She uses a 1″ curling rod like the GHD Curve Creative Curl Wand ($199) to get Kyle Richards’ curly hair.

Pamella pins the curl while they cool so the style will last.

Kyle Richards’ Diet and Exercise Secrets

You look phe-nom-en-al! What’s your key to staying fresh-faced and young?  “Eating right and exercising — what you put in your body reflects what you look like on the outside.” [source]

Kyle has a full-on fitness schedule with only one day off a week – Soul Cycle twice a week, hiking twice a week and a new rowing class twice a week. “It’s the new spinning,” she says. “I just discovered it. They dim the lights and you really get into it.” [source]

Kyle’s says “I eat almost no sugar,” and she also limits carbs. [source]

One of her super sneaky beauty tricks to looking thinner? A spray tan. When she wants to do it at home she uses L’Oreal Sublime Bronze ($10). [source]

Kyle’s ultimate “fountain of youth” product? Good ol’ water. [source]

Kyle Richards’ Perfume

On Kyle’s perfume tray I see Chanel No 5, Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, I also spotted on her vanity the beautiful gold bottle of Victor & Rolf Rose Explosion perfume. [source]

What’s your signature scent?”I swear by something called IF by Apothia.” ($95) BTW I totally spotted this at Fred Segal at the international terminal in LAX! [source]

And your favorite nonperfume smell? “I love the smell of Christmas.” [source]
