It's gotta be one of the most nerve-wrecking red-carpet experiences - up there with the Oscars.

And we have to say, this year Kim Kardashian totally won the Met Gala rocking a gorgeous gold Versace gown. It's probably not the easiest dress to wear - but the mum-of-three's bod looked unbelievable in it. https://twitter.com/NarbehKardash/status/993651444900282368?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.her.ie%2Fceleb%2Fkim-kardashian-wore-full-bondage-dress-met-gala-party-402411&tfw_site=Herdotie Kim furthermore won praise for her makeup; heavier than usual, she sported a head-turning dark smokey eye and strip lashes. Wowsers! However, now a close-up of Kim has shown just how much time and effort needs to go into your makeup for an event of this calibre. Posted to CelebFace Insta account - it has 330K fans - you can tell that Kimmy went for a heavy foundation, powder, contouring, and highlighter to achieve the look. Full-coverage goals - and definitely merited considering she had to face hundreds of cameras and stay out all night. As always, Kim was worked on by Makeup By Mario, now a celebrity in his own right too. He posted a snap of Ms Kardashian to his Insta, revealing the products they had decided on for the gala. "For skincare, I used @RodialBeauty - Dragon Blood Cleansing Water," he stated, adding that for makeup, he used items from his own cosmetics line collaboration with Kim. Here's the list...

• Albanian eye shadow from the KKW x MARIO palette
• KKW x Argenis eyeshadow stick in Dramatico
• Conceal Bake and Brighten Kit in Shade 7
• Baking Powder in shade Bake 2
• Brightening Powder in shade Brightening 2
• Creme Contour Sticks in Medium I and II
• Powder Contour and Highlight Palette in Medium
• Creme Lipstick in Classic K

Phew! Meanwhile, Kim's hair was created by stylist Chris Appleton; she went for Ariana Grande-inspired vibes to complete her look. All-in-all... Stunners!
