Mario Dedivanovic does it AGAIN!!

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!

Special thanks to Mario Dedivanovic for giving our attendees an experience like never before. 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. Guests went home with gift bags full of Mario's favorite beauty products! Check his blog for a complete list of all of the sponsors. http://www.makeupbymario.com/
