2010 Most Improved Beauty Look: The Kardashians

WINNER: Kourtney, Kim and Khloe Kardashian

Once upon a time there were three sisters who favoured the more is more approach. More volume. More lip gloss. More zshush. But it didn't always look so great. Now, they've said buh-bye to mega-watt volume, shiny skin and mis-matched hair and makeup, and embraced a pared-down look that has more polish and finesse to it. We're talking about the Kardashians: Kourtney, Khloe and Kim. Gone are the "is she is in the Pussycat Dolls" questions, and in their place are gorgeous Sophia Loren-esque Allure photoshoots, fragrance and book deals and much, much more. The girls' experimental and sometimes way-off-the-mark style FINALLY settled down in 2010 becoming more chic and covetable (well, 'cept maybe the silver body paint). We loved seeing Kourtney bust out a bright lip, we wanted to emulate Kim's sultry eye makeup and we longed to know how Khloe got her hair so super-shiny. Kudos, girls. Kudos.

Finally, the mullet was gone! BIG sigh of relief!!

Psst. It's been quite the year for Kim Kardashian, Fab has awarded her the 2010 Most Improved Style Sugar Award, too!
