Today, Kim Kardashian turns 45. When it comes to her glam, the multi-hyphenate always keeps us guessing: Will she be blonde? Have a chopped pixie cut à la momager Kris Jenner? Wear a couture mask fully obscuring her face?
Kardashian s origin story is the stuff of legends: The world was first introduced to her as Paris Hilton’s assistant (with flat-ironed and glossed dark brown hair). From there, the world was never the same. Once her go-to glam team was assembled—hairstylist Chris Appleton, makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, and nail artist Kim Truong—it was beauty game on.
It should be noted that the mother of four admits that looking like a billion dollars may actually cost you. Kardashian recently shared on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast that her glam budget is high…and a bit of a mystery to her. “It could be a million dollars,” she shared while chatting with Cooper. “This hair isn’t cheap.”
