K. Michelle on BET’s 106 and Park “I Just Can’t Do This”
Some of you may remember the other day when my flight from LA to NYC was delayed. I was praying for a miracle to happen so that I would make it in time to do K. Michelle’s makeup for her live performance on 106th and Park. I do believe in miracles because I got there with a few minutes until show time and I started painting for my life! Thanks Jai for your help! Anyhow, enjoy this video clip of her performing and also of her interview right after. Xo Mario
New Work – K.Michelle’s Fallin’ Music Video
K.Michelle is another AMAZING and crazy talented singer that I recently worked with! Check out her new music video “Fallin” – another Armen directed piece! K.Michelle was so much fun to work with and she had me cracking up all day -she’s hysterical! I don’t need to talk about the voice as you will witness that once you watch and listen to her video below. This song is being played all over and is a hit for sure.
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.

Making up Melanie Fiona for her “Ay Yo” music video
“Ay Yo!” I recently worked with Melanie Fiona on her music video for “Ay Yo.” It’s a great song and her voice is incredibly powerful and beautiful! She is hands down one of my favorite female artists. This video was directed by Armen – the super talented photographer/video director. I love collaborating with him because I know that the end result will be flawless.
Check out the video below. For her makeup, I used golden, nude and warm tones with focus on beautiful, dewy skin. I Hope you like it and feel free to let me know what you think of the makeup. Xo Mario
