...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!
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.
