Hope you all like the current September issue of Surface Magazine.  I did the makeup for the cover and cover story inside .  I used MAC cosmetics to create the cover look.  It was my first time working with photographer Henrique Gendre and he was amazing.  In the inside story, the entire set was built out of paper – I will post those pics as soon as I get them!  If you get a chance to pick up an issue let me know what you think.  Xo Mario

Hey beautiful!  Check out this great feature from PeopleEnEspanol.com all about Summer makeup.  In the story, I share my favorite products for summer.  They included a bunch of images and links.  Oh, and if you don’t mind translating the story for me to english, please do so, LOL.   Heres the link to People En Espanol.  Xo Mario

Im very excited for the new PerfectSkin line and for Kourt, Kim and Khloe for sharing their amazing skin care with everyone!  I’ve been working with them all for the commercials and advertisements and could not wait to get my hands on the products.   I recommend the 5-Piece Deluxe Kit.  All the products smell and feel very light.  Its simple and effective skin care for women and men!  Go to PerfectSkin and check it out for yourself.   Watch the video clip below and catch some behind the scenes clips with the girls and of me on set applying lips to Kim.  ;-)  Xo Mario

For the makeup in “Fallin,” I gave K.Michelle a soft, smokey eye using some metallics around the lash lines. I finished her look off with peach on the cheeks and golden, nude lips. I hope you like the makeup and the video. Xo Mario

The video below is a behind the scenes from the Fallin video shoot where you can take a look at me “at work.” LOL enjoy!

It’s finally out! This look that I gave Kim at the Leather & Laces event in Miami during Superbowl weekend has been the most requested “Get the Face.” People Style Watch had the exclusive on it and now you do too!  I loved the entire look on Kim.  Monica Rose styled her beautifully in a all nude look and I was very inspired by the color and textures.  Look above to find out which products I used on Kim or pick up a copy of the current issue of People Style Watch, page 94.  The mag also gives you the “look for less.”  Stay tuned for the complete list of products I used – I will share the rest of the look very soon.  Xo Mario

In the current issue of OK! magazine, Kim talks all about eyes – taking her daytime look into a night time look and her favorite products that I use on her such as MAC’s liquid liner in Boot Black and the new EYE M GLAM all over golden highlighter that I created!  Pick up a copy of OK! this week for more great tips and check out EYE M GLAM, the product I made that keeps her skin looking gorgeous and glowing!

I’ve been getting tons of  ”Get the Face” requests for different looks that I gave Kim in the past couple of months.  I was especially excited when makeup411.com asked me for a Beauty Breakdown as I’ve been a fan of Make-Up Artist Magazine and makeup411.com for some time.  This beauty breakdown shows you how to get the look from Kim’s fragrance launch in Miami.  Check it out to find out all the products I used, including my very own highlighter that I made for GIELLA cosmetics called EYE M GLAM.  Also, read about what inspired me that day…  Xo Mario

The other day I received a huge box in the mail and inside was the entire line of Motives cosmetics by the gracious and gorgeous Loren Ridinger! (Pics above of almost everything Loren sent me) My assistant and I spent hours testing all of the shades and textures – many of which will now be staples in my kit.

I used the white pencil on set yesterday on a model and it turned out flawless and lasted all day.  Today I used a few different gold and warm toned eye shadows on Kim.  The pigment and textures are beautiful and I look forward to using Motives more often.  Thanks Loren! Xo Mario

As a lot of you all know, I flew out to LA to work on Season 4 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.  It was a season full of drama, excitement, tears and everything in between. I feel fortunate to have been there to witness Khloe’s marriage to Lamar and Kourt’s pregnancy.  I cant forget Kim’s Vegas birthday! (LOL) The Kardashian girls are truly beautiful inside and out and I had an amazing time glamming them up everyday for over two months.  Kourt – thanks for being the best pregnant woman I’ve ever worked on.  Khloe – thanks for the endless laughs and Kim, my muse – thanks for continuing to inspire me everyday.

I hope you all enjoyed watching the season as much as I enjoyed both watching and working it!   Im so excited to watch the finale tonight on E! because I know it’s going to be sooo good!  Im also sad because Sunday nights wont be the same until next season. Let me know what you think of the finale!  XoXo Mario
