Kim Kardashian has made some big changes to her face.

It’s happened gradually. So gradually that, to the untrained eye, the photos of Kim Kardashian West now versus a few months ago might not seem all that different.

But they most certainly are.

Just as she hired Aussie stylist Christine Centenera (whom she reportedly pays $1 million) to overhaul her look from colourful and clingy to structured and chic, the reality TV mogul is completely overhauling her makeup look, too.

Yes, the very makeup-heavy look she’s famous for. Hell, that she’s even based a business — aptly called Kardashian Beauty — on.

The ‘leopard print-clad eyelashes that reach her eyebrows’ version of Kim is no more. And a high fashion icon (who has US Vogue editor Anna Wintour and Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing on speed dial) has risen from the ashes.

Phase Two of the 35-year-old’s makeover has been in the works for some time, although it hasn’t been so obvious until the last week or so.

After attending the Webby Awards (where she won the Break the Internet Award), she posted an Instagram photo of her outfit, proclaiming “no lashes, no hair extensions, no lipstick” and “no spanx” were harmed in its making.

Then, speaking at the Vogue Festival yesterday in London, she said she cringes when she looks at her makeup in old pictures.

And just like that, she confirmed what we’d all been suspecting: Kim 1.0 is done.

“I just wore too much, I loved false eyelashes and used to pile them on, but now I'm really into nontouring... I'm trying to wear less makeup and my husband loves it," the mum of two explained.

Yes, nontouring (the opposite of contouring - the age-old beauty trend that went large thanks to her) involves a more subtle highlighting of bone structure without the use of bronzer.

“Now I strobe with highlighter rather than using a bronzer to contour as it just looks too heavy, I'm going for a lighter makeup look now. For my first baby I wore full makeup giving birth, but none for my second," she added. (Post continues after gallery.)

It has to be said, Kim’s daily version of “toned down” still involves more products and effort than most of us put in on our wedding day. Even so, it's interesting to hear the makeup-loving Kardashian renounce her former look.

The sign that the old Kimmy-K is not completely lost? She’s not giving up all kinds of contouring.

"I don't think I'd stop contouring my nose — I know people think I've had a nose job but it really is just makeup!"
