Just about every guy in the world wishes they were Mario Dedivanovic right now. Last week, he was simply a New York City makeup artist but today he is known as that guy who smeared baby oil on a naked Kim Kardashian.
The 34-year-old reality star tried to "break the internet" by posing completely nude for the cover of Paper Magazine. On Tuesday, the publication released a butt-baring photo of the E! star followed by a full-frontal, uncensored naked shot.
After the shock wore off, many people were curious to know who was given the task of covering Kardashian's entire body in baby oil. Dedivanovic chatted with the Daily News about his job and said the number one question he gets from people is what kind of oil he used.
"I don't have a name for the oil," he said. "It's just a baby oil product from Europe. I just sprayed it all over her body with a pump bottle."
"Everyone keeps asking me about [the oil]," Dedivanovic said. "It's so crazy. It's just a basic baby oil product."
Dedivanovic, whose A-list clientele also includes Christina Aguilera, Natasha Bedingfield and Michelle Williams, said for the Paper mag shoot he decided to go with very simple face makeup on Kardashian.
"For the face, we went for a natural look," he told the Daily News. "Jean-Paul Goude wanted me to do my thing but make her look like herself. We used a very simple black liquid line on her eyes, no false lashes, just a pretty, classic look. I don't have a name for the product on the lip either. It was a peachy nude lipstick."
He also said he sprayed "some Evian on her face" to give Kardashian a "dewy" look.
"The shoot was very fun," he said. "It's always a great experience when working with such an iconic legendary photographer."
"The whole shoot was actually pretty quick," Dedivanovic added. "When they did the nude shots, it was a closed set - just myself, Kim and the photographer."
