However, there’s additionally rather a lot in regards to the 40-year-old make-up mogul that followers don’t know—he’s a New York native and NOT from Los Angeles, for starters.
There was rather a lot I didn’t learn about Dedivanovic after I had the pleasure of sitting down with some fellow trade members to listen to from the model chief about his new launch. (He’s just a little bit psychic, he began his profession at Sephora and he provides nice manifestation recommendation, to call just a few.) Whereas all of those details could appear unrelated, Dedivanovic’s humble beginnings, childhood reminiscences and New York heritage have been all formative facets within the creation of his new SuperSatin Lipstick ($28).

Make-up by Mario SuperSatin Lipstick: A Private Line for the Bronx Native
As Dedivanovic defined through the launch panel, moving into the world of satin lipstick has been an extended overdue endeavor, as he finds himself choosing satin mixtures when he’s doing glam on his A-list purchasers. Creating this new line, although, goes a lot deeper than only a new formulation for the Bronx native, as lipstick holds a deep, sentimental worth for him. “There was a lipstick [my sister] would apply each morning—I do not know what it was, in all probability L’Oréal— however after I began making this line I type of recreated that actual lip that I envisioned as a baby looking at her doing her make-up. That grew to become Bronx Child (Mario’s favourite of the 18 SuperSatin shades).”
It’s protected to say that lipstick has been a formative a part of Mario’s make-up journey, therefore why he took such cautious consideration in crafting this line. Dedivanovic began working at Sephora within the flat iron district of Manhattan at 17 years previous as a perfume advisor, however certainly one of his most distinguished reminiscences from his time on the retailer was when he did his first ever make-up software. “Flatiron was the place I truly did my first make-up software ever. I bear in mind it was night time and the shop was sluggish and I used to be type of ‘cool’ with the supervisor—I used to be a perfume advisor so I wasn’t allowed to do make-up—however I requested her if I may and he or she stated sure and so I did a three-hour lengthy software.” And thus was born the beautiful, nude SuperSatin shade Flatiron. “There’s numerous these reminiscences on this assortment.”
Every of the 18 shades within the SuperSatin line is known as after an space of New York Metropolis that holds particular worth to Mario, or to his group, as he famous that the opinions of his colleagues are of the utmost significance to him. “Sam, for instance, she’s certainly one of my women who’s been with us from the start, and he or she lives in Staten Island, however it all the time fascinates me that she’s the primary one within the workplace and he or she lives the farthest away,” he explains. “She wakes up so early within the morning and takes the ferry. She lives on the South Shore, and so I stated, ‘Sam, let’s title one of many shades South Shore.’”
The Making of SuperSatin
Past the deep, private connections that make SuperSatin so particular, Mario additionally spent numerous hours making certain that the formulation was precisely what he wished it to be. When it comes to priorities in creating SuperSatin, Dedivanovic explains that “grip” was of giant significance. “With this line particularly, it was largely about consolation. Grip is all the time one of the crucial essential phrases that I exploit in product growth throughout all classes of make-up. Sensorially, I simply hate when merchandise slide an excessive amount of. It’s okay when merchandise slide once you first apply so that you could manipulate it, however then I don’t need it to maneuver round. This product is an especially comfy lipstick to put on, however it additionally gives a pleasant grip.” I can attest—having tried each shade, it’s type of wonderful how comfortably and easily the product goes on, however it additionally manages to remain in place with out feeling dry or tight.
When it comes to general vibe and inspiration, Mario explains that he “wasn’t attempting to reinvent the wheel” relating to the SuperSatin launch. “I actually simply wished to channel this basic, iconic satin lipstick world that’s harking back to my upbringing and particularly my early years in New York and doing make-up,” he begins. “Again then we didn’t have loopy fancy lipsticks—it was only a lipstick tube, and I really like that. I really like easy and basic. Bringing that concept to the model with this assortment is simply the proper juxtaposition of a basic thought and a contemporary formulation.”
