Makeup removal is just as essential to your skincare regime as its application.  

Research: A hypo-allergenic product which is safe to use around the eye area

Recommended: Mario Dedivanovic used Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes and provided them in his goodie bag.

Love: Aloe Vera, Cucumber, & Vitamin E help to remove your makeup and enrich your skin with proper nutrients to keep it healthy with and without makeup.

Mario Dedivanovic.

I recently attended a workshop hosted by the infamous Mario Dedivanovic - celebrity makeup artist for Kim Kardashian and many more!

Technique: Simply flawless with a specific focus on pressing, powder, and patience.

It's hard to sum up the entire workshop, however here is a list of some of his key products for makeup application:

Beauty Blender to apply foundation

Guerlain Bronzer 

Cork Shadow by MAC Cosmetics to fill in your brows

Sigma Beauty Brushes

Josie Maran Bear Naked Wipes to help remove excessive shadow beneath your eyes

I will say to be a part of his second workshop was not only an experience in itself, but a dream fulfilled as an aspiring makeup artist.

Looking forward to applying his technique on future clients!

The holidays are the perfect time to jazz up your makeup look.

Alternative: Use a matte shadow as your base and apply the MAC Silver Dust with a blending brush over top to give you the perfect spark.

Gossip Less, Makeup More

Blake Lively must stand for perfection, since she is always picture perfect.

Want this look?

Eyes - faux lashes are a must, preferably MAC's half lashes. If you're a liner addict, you can line just the top of your eyes and leave the bottom bare.

Lips - Chanel's Rouge Allure Satin Lip Color in Desirable would be the ideal choice.
