Kim Kardashian’s chief make-up artist, Mario Dedivanovic, is a goldmine of bona fide beauty advice, but this trick is one of his best ever.
Taking to his Instagram, Dedivanovic revealed his simple but genius trick for creating Kim’s signature glossy nude eye make-up, which surprisingly involves concealer instead of eyeshadow.
“To achieve a look like this on the eyes, I used a cream concealer in a darker shade on the lids (as a shadow) followed by the eye gloss,” says Dedivanovic.
Not only does the hack cut out the need for a multitude of powder products, it enables you to create a glamorous look that’s perfect for day or night with little more than a bit of blending with your fingers.
For those who aren’t sold on the glossy eye look, simply set the concealer with a touch of translucent powder to ensure it stays put all day (and all night) long.
In another clever case of make-up multi-tasking, Dedivanovic used Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate in place of highlighter on Kim’s cheekbones for the 2017 Met Gala.
