The Very First Sneak Peek of the KKWxMARIO Collaboration is Finally Here (!!!)
Two months ago, Kim Kardashian West shared a black and white sneak peek of part of her upcoming makeup collaboration with her longtime makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic. And then…not a whole lot happened.
Until today. Mario, who has been Kim’s main makeup artist for a decade now, shared a sweet note explaining how he met Kim.
“I almost didn’t take the job because I had to work at Fox that afternoon where I did makeup for the anchors on the weekends for extra $. At this point I had been a makeup artist for 8 years in NYC, honing my craft, building my portfolio and paying my dues. Retail, weddings, editorial, TV, personal clients, assisting. I began working with some singers and actresses around this time & then I met Kim and began to work with her often.
The idea of a reality star at the time was new. After all my years paying dues and assisting some of the big fashion and celeb makeup greats, I was being groomed to begin working with A list stars- actresses & recording artists. I had an agent who demanded that I stop working with Kim immediately. They said I would ruin my career and my career would end within a year or 2. That all of my hard work and struggles until then would be for nothing. Was I going to sit and worry about what the elitist industry would think of me and try to fit into their mold? I refused. I chose to stick with Kim because it felt right in my heart. She was hard working, loyal and sweet. She kept me insanely busy. She appreciated me and my artistry and I had too much respect for her. When I parted ways with my agency, one of the last things they said to me was ‘good luck, Mario because you will never get a Vogue cover working with her.'”
Dedivanovic went on to share his gratitude for Kim, saying, “The past decade with Kim has been incredible. We’ve grown together, set trends, inspired and impacted an industry along the way. Through all her milestones and achievements and through her rise to global superstardom she has taken me along the way and impacted my life greatly, helping me to achieve unparalleled success of my own as a celebrity makeup artist.”
Now, what you all came here for: the products! Dedivanovic has revealed that the collection will feature the pair’s favourite eye and lip shades. And from what we can see in the video, the eyeshadow palette includes ultra-pigmented neutral and metallic shades, plus a pop of colour thanks to a beautiful bright blue shade called Libra, as well as nude lip glosses and bullet lipsticks.
