Get The Look: Bravo A-List Awards

I’ve decided to start a new blog series called Get The Look!
I get so many comments from you guys asking how I achieve a certain
look and what products I use, so I thought you might like to see
how I get ready for different events! Let me know in the comments if
you have any favorite looks of mine, and I’ll do my best to recreate
the look for you guys.

For the Bravo A-List awards my hair was super easy and simple. Frankie Payne parted it down
the middle then slicked it back in a low pony tail. Mario Dedivonovic
painted my face in a modern day 60’s inspired look. For the eyes, he
put down a white shadow on the lid called Chill by MAC, and Corduroy
and Carbon shadows, also by MAC, in the crease. Then he used a black liquid liner
by MAC to define my eyes and and used Giella eyeshadow called B Dazzle, in the corner of my
eye to make them pop!

For my cheeks we used a blush called Orgasm by Nars and for lips we used a MAC color called Brew, with Subculture lip liner and Baby Sparks Dazzleglass lip gloss on top, also by MAC! 
Aren’t Mario and Frankie amazing!? They always know exactly the right look to do to fit the event. You should go to Mario’s site for extra tips!

Grand finale: Mario makeup tips

March 6, 2009 / 41 Comments

Hey guys!

Mario has given some great makeup tips in writing and on video!

Thanks so much for doing this Mario! You are truly amazing!

Here is the monster final installment of his makeup and face care Q&A…

Jackie: Mario, I love how you do makeup, I want to know where I can get
the sponge like thing you used to put on her foundation. I would realy
like to get one. I use foundation everyday, I use a foundation brush.
So please let me know where I can get one. Thanks.

Mario: Hey Jackie, I LOVE that sponge too.  It’s called The Beauty
Blender.   You can get it at Beautyblender.net .  Don’t forget to get
the cleanser for the sponge too.  It works amazing so you can wash it
over and over again.

?Hawaii: Hi Mario! Great job. Here is my question: Should primer be used after a moisturizer or does it matter?

Mario: Aloha Hawaii, yes. You can moisturize first, let it set in for a few minutes, then prime.

?
Rx: Hi Mario! The look you done on Kim was gorgeous! -Id like to know
how you got into the makeup industry and was it hard for you to get
there? Thank you!

Mario: Thank you, Rx. I got into the makeup industry when I was 17
years old.  I started in retail then eventually began to work with
photographers and I assisted famous makeup artists for years.  I can’t
say that it’s easy because it’s not.  A lot of hard work, sweat and
tears go into it (especially In NYC), but if you love it and believe in
yourself, you succeed.  

Christine80: Thanks for the tutorials. I just love them. My question
is: Does Mario work with non-celebrities? I am getting married and if
he could make me half as pretty as you, Kim…well, let’s just say I
would be ever so grateful.

(Get Mario’s answer and much more after the jump!)

Here is more from my makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic! He is such a great resource!…

Amirah: Hi Mario, my question is about brushes. How important do you
think it is to have a set of expensive make up tools? Or what should
you look for when investing in brushes?

Mario: I think your tools are very important in helping you achieve the
look you desire.  A set of about 10-12 brushes should do it.  Brushes
make blending shadows and colors easy.  A great brush set to try is the
one by BillyBbeauty.com

LadyJ: Thank you Kim and Mario for the make-up blog, I really
appreciate it, I’m learning a lot from it! I have one simple question:
1. what is in your opinion, the name of the best product for a
concealer to cover blemish prone scars (my tone is medium golden
beige)? Thank you Kim and Mario!!!

Mario: Lady J – Blemish prone scars should probably be covered with a
cream concealer.  It’s hard to recommend an exact shade but if you need
a very full coverage, try Derma Blend makeup. Just use it on spots and
set with a little powder.  For a cover-up with less coverage then Derma
Blend, Laura Mercier’s secret concealer and Stila is great too.

Little: Hi Kim and Mario, I’ve tried every type of concealer
(liquid,stick,mineral) and my dark circles still show through. What do
you recommend? My face also has many pores, would a primer and
foundation help smooth over my skin?

Mario: Hey Little, if you have many pores, definitely try a primer. I love…

Mario answers your eye makeup questions!

March 3, 2009 / 27 Comments
mario-makeup-kim-kardashian.jpg

Hey guys,

My marvelous makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic answered a TON of your
questions after I posted his makeup videos. Here is the first batch,
which focuses on eye makeup…

Jytza: I was wondering what you think of colored eyeliner and colored
mascara. I’m tired of the basic black and would like a pop of color
without looking tacky…what would you recommend for someone who has
brown eyes like me or Kim?

Mario: I think auburn/burgundy mascara would look great with brown
eyes.  Try green eyeliner – that usually looks good with brown eyes..I
like the MAC’s technakohl liner in Antiquity.   Kevyn Aucoin makes a
great burgundy shade of mascara and Lorac makes a nice Auburn one too.

Mae: Hey Mario! Thanks for answering our make up questions. I use a
regular pencil eye liner. How do you keep it from smudging throughout
the day? And second, which eye shadow colors look good on medium tan,
skin tones?

Mario: Hey Mae, before you apply your pencil on the upper lid, use an
eye shadow primer or some foundation/concealer on the lid and dust some
loose powder over it to set it.  Follow with the liner.  You could also
apply the liner, then set it with a translucent, no color powder.  If
the liner on the inner rim of your eye isn’t staying, switch to a
waterproof  one like the powerpoint pencil from MAC.  It lasts all day.

OfficialGirl09: Hi Mario! I only use liquid eyeliner and I wanted to
know what is the best one? I’ve always used “Almay” and I love it
because it last long, but it smears a little on the bottom lid. Help!

Mario: Hey OfficialGirl09, I like using liquid eyeliners that are matte
and that can blend easily once they dry.  The one I’m currently using
is by MAC.  To prevent smearing on the bottom, again – make sure the
skin has makeup and powder on before.  Powder will really help to
prevent smudges.

I am so loving a red lip right now!
