Kim Kardashian got another Vogue cover! This time it’s the August cover for Vogue Espana (Spain). Apparently, Kim did a “makeunder” for the editorial shot by Theo Wenner. Kim is allegedly not wearing any makeup on the cover. When Kim posted the cover on Instagram, she wrote: “Vogue Spain Cover! We did this whole shoot without make up! Can’t wait for you to see it.” Do you believe that? I do not. While I would believe that Kim is not wearing as much caked-on makeup as she normally wears, she’s totally wearing powder, some eye makeup, maybe something on her lips. Definitely some concealer too.
I will give her this, or maybe this is a compliment to Kanye: I always adore her Lorraine Schwartz ring. I know so many of you are like “any piece of jewelry on a Kardashian is tacky by its very nature.” But I can’t help it – Kanye picked out a really gorgeous diamond for her engagement ring. It’s 15 carats and allegedly worth $8 million. Kim loves to flash her ring and I honestly love to look at it.
As for the interview, Vogue Espana has only released a few quotes:
On Caitlyn’s transition: “I have told Caitlyn Jenner that as long as she doesn’t steal my stylist, makeup artist, or hair stylist, we’re OK…It’s great to see her happy.”
Prayers for North: “With the first pregnancy I told Kanye that it wouldn’t be easy to grow up being our daughter because of what our daughter would have to put up with. I prayed for it. Now I know that she [North] will be able to handle it.”
The Met Gala this year: “The most difficult thing of this year was going to the Met Gala because I was a little less than two months pregnant and had nausea. I tried to eat very healthy the week before—chicken soup and salad. But my dress was transparent so I tried to suck in my stomach on the red carpet. My husband and I came up with a way that I could only take photos from the front while I was holding my breath and when I turned I would let out my breath and stay very close to Kanye to hide.”
I’m including some photos of Kim and Kanye at this year’s Met Gala so you can see how idiotic her system was – the dress was transparent, but the design made Kim look bigger! Holding her stomach to look “thinner” on camera was like trying to save the Titanic with some Krazy Glue.
Speaking of Kim’s weight, we’ve gotten to the point in her second pregnancy where she’s going to start lying about how much she’s gained. For the record, I do not care how much weight Kim or any other pregnant or non-pregnant woman gains. It’s none of my business and we, as a society, should have better things to do that weight-shame pregnant women specifically. But that means you don’t get to lie about how much weight you’ve gained.
I secretly loved the rumors I was faking my pregnancy bc I was so skinny! LOL Well can't hide it now! 5 month (20weeks) and 20lbs up 😋

Kim is pretty short, so maybe she’s only gained 20 pounds. Historically, you can really see it on Kim when she gains or loses weight (because she always wears body-con clothes two sizes too small), and for now, I’ll believe her. Just keep in mind that she lied about her weight all the time during her first pregnancy though.

The Vogue cover is the best she has looked in a very, very, very long time – but she definitely has make-up on.
It’s the best she’s looked because she’s partially covering up the weird warped-by-plastic-surgery area around her nose and mouth. She was definitely a gorgeous woman before she messed with her face.
(Also, she 100% has makeup on.)
Without make Kim has dark skin under her eyes,so yes some sort of concealer was used.
True dat!
It does help that she is covering part of her face, plus she is turned a little in profile and doesn’t have her hair harshly pulled back.
She looks like she is hiding herpes on her lip.
Not to mention the fake eyelashes
Agreed, mostly because she does not look like an alien.
Lol yes exactly! She is totally wearing makeup, but the way a normal person would 😀
That’s right, Eleanor. Why can’t she look at this photo and realise how much better she looks without all her daily slap? I rarely wear make up, but surely it can’t be too good for your skin the way she cakes it on?
Also, is my timing off, or was she complaining about her struggles to become pregnant around Met Gala time? According to this article she was already almost two months along at the event.
Or, the no makeup part is true and they just photoshopped it after the shoot.
She for sure has mascara on. It does just look like she is wearing makeup the way a normal person would, rather than the troweled on look that she usually wears.
Why lie about it, though? Why not just say something like “we went toned down and more natural for the shoot”? So dumb.
If it’s true, girl needs to get herself to an ophthalmologist. Your waterline shouldn’t be ‘naturally’ black.
THIS! She looks so pretty and natural.
She has make-up on.Why lie about it?She look’s pretty good here.
There are going to be hundreds of comments about if she’s wearing makeup or not. She looks pretty, she would be even more so if she didn’t mess with her face.
She looks better with less make up and she would have to stop the fillers in her lips
Wow, it must have been years since the last time I saw her looking human.
You really can’t see much of her face. But she is wearing makeup. Light makeup but still. So this is just another lie in a long list of lies. I wonder if it sold or if Spain is just as sick of her as the rest of the world?
She’s totally wearing make up. Or they didn’t wash her face properly I suspect the world is dry heaving every time that family is mentioned – just like the rest of the world.
You can see that the upper eye lid has black eye pencil. You can see it! Unless she has tattoed eye liner which I never thought of but that could definitely be a possibility…
…still I’m not buying the no make up thing. Really you have no darkness under your eyes (which I’m pretty sure every human has) and no redness anywhere?
No make up but a soft focus filter on the camera that would do Barbara Streisand proud.
Gorgeous cover.
+1.
It is gorgeous, but she’s obviously wearing eye makeup. I’m sure she would still be gorgeous without makeup, but let’s call it what it is…less makeup, not no makeup.
I would think holding in your stomach while pregnant would be dangerous?
Errrr no. The Fetus is not in your stomach.
Why on earth would it be dangerous? And, like Palar said, the baby isn’t in the stomach. You can’t suck in your uterus. I have no idea what she was on about sucking in her stomach for.
I believe that what Loopy meant to ask was if tightening in the muscles of the abdomen otherwise known as “sucking in your stomach” could be harmful for a fetus. I’ve never been pregnant but I don’t see anything unreasonable about wondering if the pressure exerted by contracting the abdomen muscles could possibly increase the intrabdominal pressure on the uterus and harm the fetus.
@New Classic
C’mon,. Common sense, though. It’s OKAY for pregnant women to work out. What do you thing is happening to your stomach muscles when you do that? You can do crunches up until you begin your second trimester and that’s after starting that phase of your pregnancy, you shouldn’t be on your back bc it can compromise oxygen flow. BUT that has nothing to do with you abdominal muscles
Why do you women act like pregnant women are so helpless and extra breakable? It’s so patronizing and DEHUMANIZING. You trash her for wearing heals, you trash her for holding North (and trash when she doesn’t hold North), you trash her for wearing under maternity Spanxx…etc. JFC! She cannot do a thing without 99% of you trashing her one way or the other. She’ll never get credit when it’s due no matter what it seems.
Just like the surrogacy BS. Now it’s a way to trash her bc she’s actually pregnant, which the cynical brigade here would have seen from the beginning that she was actually carrying her own child if they didn’t let Kim Kardashian turn them into ppl who started sounding, frankly, f-cking crazy. I get that she hasn’t been the most honest (plenty of people aren’t, ESPECIALLY celebrities) but she isn’t a strictly a liar either.
What are we supposed to be giving her credit for, exactly?
SUPER dehumanising to show concern for Kim and her baby’s well-being!
She looks human.
I don’t believe she’s wearing no makeup. Less than usual, yes. But not makeup free.
Also, call me ignorant but isn’t 20 lbs too much for being 20 weeks along? I’m also pregnant and not far ahead of Kim. I’m 21 weeks and have only gained 4 lbs so far. But then again this is my first. Is it common to gain weight quicker with your second pregnancy? Or does it depend on the woman? Hm.
Not trying to be judgemental but it seems 20 lbs is too much for being 20 weeks. Then again she could be lying, I don’t know…
20 lbs is a little too much but every woman is different. I am the same height as Kim and with my first I gained 30lbs total… with my second I put on 40 lbs total and it was like a lb a week even though the docs recommend 25-30lbs for our height even eating healthy it was not happening for me. And YES when you are this short every single lb is visible so I feel Kim’s pain on this one.
Thanks. I should mention that I am also the same height as Kim so I know weight gain shows quicker.
A woman with normal body weight at the start of her pregnancy should ideally gain ~25 pounds over the course of her pregnancy. I can’t imagine her OB is pleased with her already gaining that much at 20 weeks. That is, if it’s even true. Kim Kardashian is made of lies, after all.
I’m so tired of this supposedly magical 25lb mark. My OBs always said 25-40lbs, but that was just a guideline. As long as the weight gain was steady (no huge spikes, etc) and things like my blood pressure & glucose test were fine noone was ever concerned about the final number. I gained 48, 52, & 40lbs with each of my pregnancies, and my OB never batted an eye. Granted, I’m much taller than KimK, but the idea is still the same–everyone is different, every pregnancy is different, don’t unnecessarily stress yourself out over a number.
I was thinking the same thing–if she’s even telling the truth. She proudly said she was 20 lbs up, which is weird for her to say. You’d think for someone who lives in a world of delusion she’d lie about how much weight she’s gained lol.
It is a LOT. Every OB in their proper senses would discourage anything above 30 pounds overall which is considered tne ultimately helathy balance baby weight/mother fat/water. I gained precisely 28 pounds overall and I’m middle heignt.
I guess everybody is different. I’ve never been pregnant nor do I plan to be, so I can just speak from looking at other women. Some didn’t show or barely showed until they were already 6 or 7 months along and were super skinny and some exploded after two months. The ones that showed early were of the same body type as Kim.
I gained about 55 pounds overall with my first and 20 with my second.
She can’t possibly have gained 20 pounds already and not be showing. Something is off here. There is no way she is really 5 months and not have a round belly yet unless someone invented heavy duty industrial strength spanx that is pulling it all in.
@someone how old are you? you sound so ignorant.
Thanks, and you are a fountain of knowledge Chica.
But weight gain is a case-by-case basis for everyone, no? The same applies when pregnant.
I don’t understand why ppl try to compare pregnancies in these respect (how they carry it and the weight they gain or don’t gain, and by when they do or do not gain it or SHOW). Each pregnancy is different for everyone, So I don’t understand how any one can come off and say she has or hasn’t gained the weight, based on not her record for fibbing, but on the basis of them saying she couldn’t have gained….in that amount in said amount of time. Who the hell are you to really say that, though? It makes you sound silly, which you probably aren’t.
The rage you all would feel if someone did the same to you should be considered.
Please get off your soap box. Everybody is entitled to their opinion and to express it – even about weight gain. Dani L was asking a legitimate question. She wasn’t comparing her weight gain to Kim’s, just stating what it was because it was such a big difference between the two weight gains. And yes every pregnancy is different but there is nothing wrong looking at two pregnancies and seeing how they are alike or different.
Thanks you Chica!
This is my second time being pregnant and both times women have felt the need to tell me how “big” my belly is. Normally, I wouldn’t care but I get emotional while pregnant. I was talking to my doctor about it and asked him “am I bigger than normal because every where i go women seem to remark about it and ask if I’m having twins?” and he said “no, actually, you’re measuring a little less than you should be. Do me a favor and don’t listen to them, In my experience women do this a lot to each other and I don’t know why, just try to ignore it.” Love him. He made me feel so much better. I guess what I’m rambling on about is please just stop with judgments about pregnancy and weight gain. Jesus. It’s hard enough without having to deal with commentary from friggin strangers.
It is kind of a lot for that stage. Generally you’re not supposed to gain anything your first trimester (0-13 or 14 weeks), so if that were the case for Kim, to have packed on 20 lbs in the space of 6-7 weeks is a LOT. Weight gain is also generally supposed to speed up as you progress (e.g., a 25 lbs weight gain might be distributed as 0 lbs in first trimester, 10 lbs in second trimester, 15 lbs in third trimester).
All that said, some women do gain early and then level out, and of course some women just gain more than the 25-35 lbs recommended (I was recently reading that something like half of all women gain more than that, so it’s not unusual at all). If Kim was getting bad nausea in her first trimester, one common recommendation for combating that is to eat small meals regularly. I’ve been having really awful nausea with my pregnancy and although I pretty much never WANT to eat, I do feel better after eating, so I’ve been snacking fairly regularly. If I tot up my caloric intake for the day, it’s usually pretty much bang on what I’d eat normally….even though I’m really only eating 100-200 calories at a time. I guess I could easily see that if someone was needing to snack even more frequently, or being slightly less careful about what they were snacking on (I’m trying to make sure I get some stuff like veggie soup, plain chicken, etc., not just a constant stream of saltines), you could easily pack on extra weight even in the first trimester (when you typically aren’t supposed to gain). If she’s getting swollen up again like last time already, should could also just be carrying around a lot of bloat.
Overall it is better for the baby to gain a little too much than way too little, so I wouldn’t fault Kim too much, if her weight gain stats are for real.
I just gave birth to my son last month and had the weight discussion with my obgyn. He said that for however many weeks you are, that’s how much weight you can reasonably gain. You don’t HAVE to gain that much weight, obviously, but if you do, it’s still safe.
I like the cover. And,yes—Kim gained tons of weight last pregnancy and I hope as she progresses has more sense than squeezing her swollen feet into ridiculous stilettos.
Last time she paid and nearly suffered a bout with Toxemia, which is no laughing matter. If their little Boy is as adorable as North, and she has one of each—I am betting at her age they will then stop. One of each is “perfect”.
Concealer, eyemakeup, and lipstick is the amaunt of makeup I wear when I go out. Do these celebrities really think we’re that deluded?
I find the ring way too big. I would be scared to wear it, I’d surely lose it. Also, why, for the love of God, would anyone spend 8 million on a ring?! This is over the top even for Kanye.
Makeup is used to create colors and shadows and contours where there are none. You can achieve something similar using clever lighting and camera angles. This #nomakeup thing is such bullshit, used to create a desperate attempt amongst women to attain ideals that are impossible.
Meh. If it would have been a filler/Botox/surgey- and makeup-free cover it could have been interesting. Also, there is makeup, fake lashes and so on.
OK, can someone please explain to me how she is 20 weeks pregnant (5 months) and gained 20 pounds and still has no bump yet? Can it really be the spanx holding it all in? I thought in order for her to be 5 months with no bump she must not be gaining weight – which isn’t terrible when you start out heavier. Which seems more likely – that the spanx is hiding the bump or that she isn’t gaining weight this time and is lying about the 20 pounds?
I’m just amazed there is no bump on Kim at 5 months. Usually second babies pop sooner, especially if you are bigger to start with and not some super fit mom with excellent abs to hold the baby in.
I’m guessing a combo of spanx and the weight gain being at least 50% all-over bloat–people have already been commenting that her legs/ankles are looking swollen.
yeah…I’m 16 weeks (YAY) and started showing around 12. I didn’t lose all the weight from my first pregnancy, and I had polyhydramnios (extra amniotic fluid) with my first pregnancy. I think my abs are shot to hell…not that they were great to start with…and I look 5-6 months along, IMO. I haven’t weighed myself lately, but I don’t think I’ve gained more than 5 pounds…it’s all just pushed out. Kim looks great from where I’m sitting!
She would look so much better if she would stop shellacking her hair to her head. Soft hair does wonders.
Ugh. I had forgotten that odious dress from the Met Gala, or maybe I blocked out the horror. She looks pretty on the cover. She’s lying about the makeup, of course. Her lips are moving.
Who needs makeup when there is Photoshop?
+1
It’s not makeup free.
Concealer, powder, brow product, mascara (or individual lashes) and something on her lips. At least. I say she’s even wearing some eye liner but maybe not. God, why lie about it? Looking good without makeup is not an achievement. She looks supremely uncomfortable on that cover btw.
Also, I’m getting mad at her for constantly talking about her weight. Not once in my life have I cared how much a pregnant woman gains but she’s making it a thing. Ugh.
Her makeup free face isn’t this flawless. She has zits and spots. Kimmy’s lying again.
Beyonce’s ring was $5 million I think. Of course Kanye had to get her something bigger.
I could actually believe she’s not wearing makeup. Naturally Kim is a very beautiful woman and her tan skin is quite good (clear, few zits, etc).
Is it legal to appear nude at public events, because, from the front view of that white dress, she is nude. Sad that she’s so insecure with who she is that she has to constantly display all the goods as though that’s all she has going for herself.
So were JLo and Beyonce. So it wasn’t just her.
” I tried to eat very healthy the week before—chicken soup and salad. But my dress was transparent so I tried to suck in my stomach on the red carpet. My husband and I came up with a way that I could only take photos from the front while I was holding my breath and when I turned I would let out my breath and stay very close to Kanye to hide.” ”
God damn this woman is deep. She should write a book. Don’t tell me, she’s probably done that already?
Hehe..’Chicken Soup for the Fame Ho Soul’ 😇
But even here we are seeing side shots? How does that fit into her hiding by Kanye claims?
She makes things so complicated, both in real life and in her lies. Never occurred to her to just wear a more comfortable dress.
I feel like she should write a relationship book. I want to know how to engage my significant other in a serious conversation about how I can pose and hold my breath only from certain angles for photos without him uproariously laughing at me.
Plus I want to know how that conversation went down:
‘Okay, but when you fat, you hide behind me, let the Kanye charm dazzle them from all that chub you have going on.’
‘Bae, I’m pregnant, not fat.’
‘What? I didn’t hear you. I was wondering if we should swap outfits.’
She looks beautiful in the cover. I can’t believe she messed up her face and turned in to an alien / cat face when she used to be naturally beautiful and exotic looking.
And yeah, she definitely has light make up on but still, pretty cover!
To be honest I really think it’s her makeup. It’s TOO MUCH. She’s had recent pics without it and she looks regular and her beautiful self. I have a meeting, but when I come back I’ll post links to the ones I’m referencing. She doesn’t naturally look as horrible as we all think she does. It’s the heavy makeup and how she poses her face when camera’s are around. She’s going for a Victoria Beckham (elongating her chin, making herself look like an alien) when she should just be herself.
Yeah I think she’s had some facial surgery but perhaps not as much as people think, the main problem is way too much make-up combined with overly severe hairstyles.
I know it’s asking too much to expect Kim to make sense – but what in the world does she mean when she says now she knows Nori can “handle it”? Handle what?
Best of luck in the Terrible Twos, dear. The kid was just practicing before.
“I told Kanye that it wouldn’t be easy to grow up being our daughter because of what our daughter would have to put up with.”
Putting up with 2 narcissistic parents, being used as attention-bait with paparazzi, and being used as an accessory by the people who are supposed to nurture and protect you is a hardship — but I know the parents don’t have the awareness for that to have been what they meant by the above comment.
How insensitive of Kim (~duh!~) to expect her child to “handle” whatever selfish schemes Kim imposes on North.
Looking forward to the rebellion from the spawn. Should be rich.
We have seen video footage of Kim without make-up and this ain’t it. You can tell she has eye liner on her upper tight line. She always complains about dark circles under her eyes and she has none in this pic. If she’s not wearing make-up then during the photoshop process they fixed everything. This is not a “raw” pic.
Also, why would you hold in your stomach when you know you’re two months pregnant? Is that a healthy thing to do? She could have found another dress to wear for God’s sake. She probably heard what Beyonce was wearing and wanted to try to upstage her…but that didn’t work.
Her clenched fist over her face looks weird, and yes, the liar is wearing makeup.
These women so badly want the world to believe that they have some mythical beauty that we should all aspire to. Kim is pretty without makeup on even with her dark circles, but she clearly has makeup on in this picture and it’s been airbrushed to boot. Why brag about something when you know it isn’t true? Natural makeup is not the same thing as no makeup.
I think this is the first time I’m ever seeing her ring. It seems so…unnecessary. I can’t help but laugh at celebs sometimes, walking around with an actual rock on their hands, it really puts into perspective how far removed they are from reality. Like you just know a woman wearing a ring that big isn’t doing much productive stuff with her hands.
She definitely has makeup on, but this is a vastly preferable look to her usual. As for the twenty pounds claim…I can see it. Most women don’t really start gaining intensely until the last trimester, particularly if they’re watching what they eat. Even then, it varies for each woman. My one coworker gained twenty-five, the other was upwards of fifty thanks to some serious hormone-induced bloating.
I think this study captures Kardashian family ….http://www.marketwatch.com/story/beware-of-people-who-always-post-selfies-on-facebook-2015-07-16
Flashing that ring like that – how tacky.
If I had that ring, I’d flash it too.
Kim has the darkest undereye area I’ve ever seen without makeup on so this is complete BS
That’s not “no makeup”.
Unless you are on the same crack as Into the Gloss, according to whom you can claim you are wearing ‘no makeup’ when there is concealer, tinted moisturiser and eyebrow pencil/powder on your face. For instagram bragging rights of course.
(I admit to using the #nomakeup hashtag, but at least I actually had no makeup on in that pic!)
Best pic I’ve seen of her. But yes there’s makeup there. Minimally. And good lighting.
I, too, love her ring
I say MEH!
If that’s makeup free then I am Claudia Schiffer.
Kim for president!
She has to pull a Beyonce..she just has to..
Why constantly defend yourselff, when its all lies? She shouldnt be bothered at all
I’m so tired of hearing about this dumb bitch.
