Mario Dedivanovic does it AGAIN!!

2011-09-01T19:46:00.000-07:00

Yes that's right, on August 13, 2011 the very talented Mario Dedivanovic graced our presence yet again. This is his 3rd time hosting a workshop for us, and he always gives so much. His tips and tricks alone are enough to kick your personal make up career in gear! Everyone had a blast, and we were very happy to get amazing photographer, Mark Sacro, on board to shoot for the Artist Portfolio Event.

The day started off with artists lined up at the door for entry, eager and patiently waiting to see Mr. Dedivanovic work his magic in person. It's a first come first save event, so seat selection was crucial. We had artists who flew in from New York and Canada, and we were honored that they made the trip. Once Mario hit the stage, all was quiet, and the artists had their pen and paper ready. Mario's model for the day was the beautiful Zuleyka Silver. who was the winner in his model search for the chance to be his "face" for the day. After the flawless make up was done, everyone gathered around and the camera's flashed. Catering for the day was provided by Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill, and Pinkberry was another special treat for all of our guests! Almost too full to continue with the day, twelve artists stayed to participate in the Artist Portfolio Event. Photographer Mark Sacro set up as the make up artists worked on their models, and Mario walked around checking on everyone. The skill in the room that day was amazing. We were very pleased with the turnout, and as you can see below the pictures are beautiful!

We also want to thank all of the talented artists who came to share the day with us, we appreciate you supporting the workshops and we strive to only make it better for you.

Make Up By--Jamie Choi (Dec. 4th)

It's always great to get feedback from those artists who have attended one of our workshops. We only do this for them to begin with, so we're glad to share some of their thoughts...

2011-02-15T03:26:00.000-08:00

There is only so much information one can retain when learning something new. This is why we give our attendees the option of choosing our Artist Portfolio Event when signing up to take one of our workshops. It's the opportunity to build your own personal portfolio, using specific techniques shared by our guest host. It's also a time for artists to use products they may have never worked with before, or even choose a model whose skin tone they're not familiar with.

Artists leave their egos at the door, and just focus on doing what they love with other like minded people. Staying humble and consistently practicing your craft will keep you motivated and current in an industry that's constantly changing. Here are some shots from artists who attended the workshop hosted by Mario Dedivanovic. Beautiful job ladies!

Ariana Jimenez - Make Up Artist, Decemeber 4th

Yoco Goto -Make Up Artist, January 16th

Now we can FINALLY dish....

2011-02-11T23:30:00.000-08:00

...With so many people not able to attend our workshop with celebrity make up artist, Mario Dedivanovic, we wanted to be careful how we let you in on the experience. Mario has been so gracious in giving us his time and energy for this wonderful event. He cares so much about all artists, so those who were too far away or who just couldn't make the date...we will be doing another one very soon!

There is no greater gift than meeting and gaining words of wisdom from someone you respect and admire. So, we'd like to think that we were able to provide 40 artists with such a gift on December 4th and January 16th! You all love his work, so we wanted you to see him create that flawless face, up close and personal! Mario was not holding back any of his tips and tricks. The attendees were all ears, with pen and paper ready as he shared signature details. Using specific products to achieve his model's look, gave us insight like no other.

During the hands on portion of the workshop, the artists were given a chance to show Mario what they learned on their own model. Mario was able to walk the room offering feedback and suggestions to artists who requested it. We encouraged the artists to step out of their comfort zone, in trying new products and techniques. This particular element of our event is what sets us apart from other workshops out there!

All in all, the day was so inspiring and we were super thankful to Mario and all the artists who attended. We are also grateful for our AMAZING sponsors! A special thanks goes out to Motives, Josie Maran, Sigma Beauty, Smashbox, Murad, Dream Organics, and Reese Robert lashes!

We are the only workshop around giving you the opportunity to meet the artists you admire, and a chance to build your personal portfolio with them. Those coming from out of town, we appreciate you, and travel safe. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

IAS artists...on the scene!

2010-05-31T09:56:00.001-07:00

One of the great things about attending one of our workshops as an artist, novice or veteran, you will be able to get a professional portfolio shot for your book once the workshop is over. IAS teamed up with LA Models on our last workshop with Mylah Morales. The attendees were able to choose their model, and demonstrate a natural beauty look on them. Photographer Ben Cope was on set, along with our fabulous hair styling team, to capture their beautiful work! Mylah was also on hand to answer any questions, and offer suggestions to every artist. Take a look at a few of the shots from the day!

Q & A with Mylah Morales...

2010-04-03T14:49:00.000-07:00

We were very honored to have the wonderful young ladies of Girls Inc. attend their second workshop with us on February 27th.

Girls Incorporated is a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. With roots dating to 1864, Girls Inc has provided vital educational programs to millions of American girls, particularly those in high-risk, under served areas. Today, innovative programs help girls confront subtle societal messages about their value and potential, and prepare them to lead successful, independent, and fulfilling lives.

During one of the breaks Shirelle C. Baggett, Teen Coordinator for Girls Inc, was able to get an exclusive interview with our host Mylah Morales. Here is what she said:

What tips do you have for young girls who want to wear make-up, but are not allowed because of their age, to enhance their look?

Mylah: Good, clean, and healthy skin comes from a healthy diet and drinking water. A diet with fruits, vegetables, and more natural foods, and less junk food will improve their complexion. Also, lip gloss will give a quick improvement.

What advice do you have for girls who pressure themselves to resemble the women in magazines, film, and other forms of media?

Mylah: The women in the media have complete glam squads which are make-up, hair, stylists, etc. Lighting and Photoshop are crucial to getting the image that the girls see in the magazines and on television. That’s the reason why make-up artists get paid big bucks to get them looking the way they do. Under it all, they look like me and you. The girls should appreciate themselves and love themselves from the inside out. Beauty stems from the inside in having confidence in yourself.

What obstacles personal or professional, have you overcome to be successful today?

Mylah: In the beginning when I would work on people in the music industry, that was mostly dominated by African Americans and some people did not want me to work on them because they did not think I knew what I was doing. You have to believe in yourself and never give up to achieve your dreams.

When did you know that you were passionate about make-up?

Mylah: I knew as a very young child, I wanted to be a make-up artist.

If you knew that you were going to be stuck on an island, and you could only take one make-up/cosmetic item, what would it be and why?

Mylah: I would take Manoi Sun Tan Oil with SPF to use all over to moisturize.

Thanks so much again to Mylah, and Girls Inc. for being apart of our amazing day! For more information on Girls Inc. or to make a donation, please visit http://www.girlsinc.org/

Mylah is pictured here (center) with the girls, Chef Ameera, and make up artist Tai Young-Jackson.

Tips on how to achieve the make up look done by Mylah at the workshop....soon to come!

Mylah Morales...Up Close and FABULOUS!

2010-03-01T14:36:00.000-08:00

We are all coming off of a beauty high after the workshop Saturday, February 27th hosted by the talented Mylah Morales. She inspired a room full of young women, make up artists, and models as she shared her gift and industry secrets with us!!

Joining us for the event was model/actress, Chanta Patton, who was Mylah's muse for the day. She started off giving Chanta a clean beauty look that could be worn out with friends, or on the red carpet. Using various products to create the look, Mylah's choice items were brushes by Sonia Kashuk, and the NARS Orgasm Illuminator. She also stressed the importance of building and blending the foundation, as she used the Beauty Blender Sponge to do so.

Lunch was catered and served by celebrity chef, Ameera Leguex. Everyone indulged in delicious thai food, and chocolate covered strawberries, while drinking chilled Vita Coco! Chef Ameera has actually cooked for Rihanna, who is also Mylah's client! She also cooks for Lil Wayne, Keri Hilson, and many more!

After lunch, we were in awe as Mylah did her signature smokey look on Chanta. To make sure the students understood her way of creating, Mylah asked one of the attendees to come up and duplicate the smokey look on the model's left eye. Make up artist Carmen Sacca was chosen, and boy did she do a great job!

When asked about her make up techniques, or her reasons for doing certain things, Mylah simply said "you have to feel it." "There are no rules to make up, or certain product to make it look that way, it's your intuition." Once Mylah was done with her demo, the workshop attendees where able to work with products from NARS, and Smashbox on the beautiful ladies of LA Models for their portfolios. Photographer Ben Cope made sure he captured the right angles that emphasized the artists' work!

Overall, the day was a huge success, and Mylah really gave the artists a connection to cherish for a long time. She even spent time talking with the young ladies from Girls Inc. about their non-profit, and what they did for their community.

Thank you Mylah, Opus Beauty and our sponsors New Beauty Magazine, Smashbox, NARS, Secret, Cover Girl, Murad, Vita Coco and Box Eight for such a wonderful event!!

Joanna Schlip pioneers first IAS workshop...

2009-11-24T21:36:00.000-08:00

Giving back to artists and recognizing their accomplishments has to start somewhere, and that place is Industry Art Shops! In the entertainment industry, there are certain make up, hair, and wardrobe talent behind the scenes, that work non-stop on some of our favorite celebrities. Bringing those artists out to show you why they are in such high demand, is our way of giving back! We were happy to invite make up artist Joanna Schlip to be the first to spearhead the IAS journey...

Teaming up with Box Eight Studios in downtown LA, the workshop took place on November 21, 2009. Joanna spoke to the artists about how she started in this industry, her time at French Vogue, and the importance of taking risks as an artist. She talked at length about the difference between celebrity and fashion make up, your portfolio, and having your own signature style. There were tons of other make up tips and secrets shared, but you'll have to come to the next workshop to find out.

Special guests for the day were celebrity Chef Ameera who catered the event, drink sponsors Vita Coco, the IAS models, and a few lovely young ladies from Girls Inc. They had a great time, some even doing make up for the first time! We also welcomed make up artist Sharzad Kiadeh. Sharzad was a contestant on the Lifetime show "Blush" with Joanna, and she assisted her for the day!

Girls Incorporated is a national nonprofit youth organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to be strong, smart, and bold. With roots dating to 1864, Girls Inc has provided vital educational programs to millions of American girls, particularly those in high-risk, under served areas. Today, innovative programs help girls confront subtle societal messages about their value and potential, and prepare them to lead successful, independent, and fulfilling lives. http://www.girlsinc.org/

Overall, the workshop was full of excitement and guests loved every minute of it. Joanna is an incredible artist, and her work speaks for itself. Just before our workshop, she was wrapping up a job with Jessica Simpson, among many others. Knowing how busy her schedule is, we were thrilled she spent a day sharing her time and skills with us. Guests and attending artists were sent home with gifts of Smashbox Cosmetics, Pureology, and Ekqualyte Apparel. Special thanks to Box Eight, and other companies who contributed to the success of this wonderful event!!

Here are a few artist responses from the workshop...

"Thank you for bringing Joanna- she was really great, also thanks for food and gifts."

"I had fun and I love to experience new things and it was delightful to work with you all."

This is the first of many posts about behind the scenes artists, and what they do for your favorite celebrities. A signature make up style, and a beautiful face to show it off is a definite way for a make up artist to make their mark. Here is one to watch...

Kim Kardashian is known for her always dramatic smokey eye look, but teaming up with a make up artist out of New York named Mario Dedivanovic, her eyes are softer, more natural and she never looked better. We love how Kim is looking these days. Beautiful work Mario!
