This weekend, hundreds of makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts filled an auditorium in New York, traveling from Colombia, Australia, and Lebanon, to learn techniques she uses infamous clients such as Kardashians, Chrissy Teigen and Priyanka Chopra.
During the 5-hour session, Dedivanovic showed how much of a perfectionist he really was: spent more than 20 minutes perfecting his lashes and applied at least five layers of eyeliner. We give you some of his tricks right here.
Grease is good
"I prefer to use very emollient moisturizers because it allows me to use enough drainage powder without it looking powdery. The moisturizer will absorb the powder and your makeup will look natural, even if there is a lot of it," Dedivanovic said. In fact, this is true for oily skin, too. Use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Moisturizer, applied with a wet wedge sponge.
Foundation cream on any other
He is a big fan of cream foundations and uses them more than liquids. "I love creams because you can go so natural with them by mixing them, or get full coverage," said Dedivanovic. In addition, the emollient nature of the cream base means that your skin does not look cakey, even if you apply more powder setting!
BeautyBlender is a blender, not an applicator
The BeautyBlender is like an extension of Dedivanovic's hand. Use moisture along every step of the way, bouncing gently on the face to blend the foundation products and the concealer, to the contour. "The BeautyBlender really presses the make-up on the skin, making it one with the skin. It also absorbs the top layer, removing excess makeup, so it looks more natural," said Dedivanovic. Stop using your BB to apply the product; Just intend to mix what you've already put.
Do not leave lines
Instagram has made sure that everyone knows what a cutoff cut, but in the world of Dedivanovic makeup, there are no hard lines. "It's fun to know [these looks], but no customer wants a glitter cut fold," he says.
His signature is a radiant face, covered with dew, with colors that blend perfectly into each other. "I love soft and 'blow-up' makeup. It has a sexy and romantic feel," said Dedivanovic.
To achieve this, he places thin layers of any product he is using, mixing each with a clean brush or a wet BB. It is impossible to exaggerate how much it mixes. The classic mantra of makeup artists - "Blend, blend, blend, blend is your friend" - is working hard here.
Rethinking the color of your waterline
Step away from your black or brown kohl. "My signature is to wear a golden bronze shade inside the eye. It's very captivating," Dedivanovic said. He intensified the smoky smoked eye he created for the model (who happened to be the singer and composer Bebe Rexha), using a gleaming bronze pencil on the waterline.
Everything is in your hand
Dedivanovic has mastered the painting technique of varying the pressure he puts on the brush. "The amount of pressure you use while applying the products will ensure that you look at the makeup, it starts smooth and then intensifies if you need more, it's easier to build than to remove," Dedivanovic said. For example, as he deepened the shading in the crease of the eye, his strokes were of featherlight, barely touching the skin.
Nail that liner
He sees his amateur a layer of eyeliner and elevates it ... five. Dedivanovic usually makes three to five eyeliner applications. "Eye shadows absorb the coating, making it appear gray after a while. I accumulate several times so it never gets boring," says Dedivanovic.
First, he used a water-resistant black pencil to define the eyelash line, gently lifting the cap with his finger, working the pencil on the roots. Upon that, he applied a black crème gel eyeliner with an eyeliner brush. Next, a layer of M.A.C Liquid Eye Liner in Boot Black, a mixture of matte black color (prefer the matte liquid coatings on the bright ones). Gently blended the outer corner of the eyeliner with a stain brush. "I want the outside corners to be super soft and pulled out. I like it to go from a sharp line on the inside to softer on the outside," Dedivanovic said. After mixing, he again applied Boot Black to the outer line of the eyelashes to intensify the color near the roots. Later, after finishing the rest of the face, he came back with another layer of Boot Black.
Vanish the Instagram Contour
Even the king of the outline urges him to have some restraint. He layers a powder on a cream, but still believes it should be soft and natural. The contour cream on the Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate palette gets its vote as its pure and modifiable. Using the Zoeva 109 brush and soft pressure, sweep the product into the recess where the cheekbone tilts down. Work a little on the hairline and under the jaw as well. Everything is mixed with the BeautyBlender.
Use Translucent Soft Powder Laura Mercier in a powder puff to fix the cream's contour and then traverse the contour of the cheek with a beige MAC blush powder (also loves NARS Blush in Zen), applied with the brush Beauty Surratt Beauty Artistique.
Powder is the bomb
If you are wondering about the need to wall in a setting powder in the contour technique above, Dedivanovic explains why it is essential. "When you go about a wet product with a powdered product, it may look muddy. So set the damp with a translucent powder first, and then the powdered product will go smoother," he explains. It even lays the foundation on the eyelid with translucent powder before applying eye shadow.
