Pics: Kim Kardashian shows us how much make-up it takes to look like Kim Kardashian

Ladies, next time you find yourself staring in the mirror at your hideously enlarged pores and disgusting, blemish-ridden skin wondering why you don't look like some hot chick from a magazine, make good use of these photos to bring yourself back to reality.

In fact, stick these photos on your damn mirror.

This is what it takes to look like a celebrity.

Kim Kardashian posted these photos on her Twitter account documenting the work of make-up artist Scott Barnes as he prettied her up for a shoot with her sisters Khloe and Kourtney to promote their UK Kardashian Kollection.

The photos show a remarkable process of contouring using epic amounts concealer and foundation.

This isn't make-up, this is face paint.

The finished product. Plus Photoshop.
