Love them or loathe them but the Kardashians have some of the best make-up looks seen today. Their features are perfectly refined, feminine, and expertly finished.
The master behind their beautiful faces is Mario Dedivanovic; a living legend and star on the rise sure to join the ranks of make-up’s elite a la Kevyn Aucoin. His trademark palettes are fresh, fun, and sexy, and you can get the dish straight from the man himself on his blog.
Following is a taste of how to get one of his masterful looks all on your own like the one pictured here, and follow his blog and Twitter for more of his expert tips and tricks to keep you looking star worthy all season long…and for all of us CheapChicas, the good news is most of the products he uses are budget friendly (the ones that aren’t give you major bang for your buck)!
Check out how he gets Kim K.looking picture perfect:
Start with Josie Maran Argan Primer Mist ($36) on the face, let dry and apply foundation.
Next, use DiorSkin Forever Extreme Wear Flawless Makeup SPF 25 ($45)-a little goes a long way and remember to blend well; set with Smashbox HALO Hydrating Perfecting Powder ($59 powder and brush set).
Brows filled with MAC’s Eye Brows Pencil in Lingering ($15), “sweep the pencil with light strokes in the direction the hair grows. Brush through brows for a more blended, natural look.”
With brush apply Sweetheart eye shadow by Josie Maran ($20)on the eye lids, keeping it right below the crease.
Using ARTLINER – Precision Point EyeLiner ($29)by Lancome apply thin line above lash line, “feel free to extend the line out without overdoing it”
Lashes – use one coat of HYPNÔSE DRAMA Instant Full Body Volume Mascara ($24)by Lancome. Add some individual long lashes by Ardell ($4) to the outer corners of eyes and follow with another coat of mascara on the top and bottom lashes as well.
To warm up and bronze the skin, use Laguna Bronzing Powder by NARS ($32). Using a small shadow brush, apply a dab of the bronzer to the crease of eyes and along the lower lash lines.
To make cheeks pop and add a gorgeous glow, sweep Powder Blush by NYX Cosmetics in Peach ($6)on the apples of the cheeks. For that extra glow on the cheek bones apply N.Y.C. New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust in Opal Sparkle ($4)
Finish off with Sephora’s Nano Lip liner in Pinup Pink ($5) and follow with Pure Lipgloss in Petunia ($12), also by Sephora.

I’m sure Mario does a great job, but when Kim was a teen, her father sent her to school to learn how to apply makeup, so she has skills too. I think she taught her other sisters how to apply makeup also.
Agreed, Kim and her sister’s all have a knack for make-up. Mario has been doing their make-up for several years; I’ve been following him as such and I think his portfolio is amazing whether he’s doing editorial or red carpet. Now that he blogs it is a great resource for products that go the distance and look fab.
Mario D is an amazing talent! Noone can make those girls look the way he makes them up or even come close. Every bit of his work is flawless.
Kevyn Aucoin’s first name has a y, not an i.
Please spell the master’s name correctly.
And yeah, Mario’s work is amazing.
