Kim Kardashian has offered fans a look at the make-up collection in her bathroom on her app — but Kim’s haul has nothing on her make-up artist’s.
Mario Dedivanovic, who has been working his magic on the 37-year-old reality star’s face for a decade, recently took curious fans inside his own beauty closet for a tour.
The 34-year-old Bronx native opened up the doors to Coveteur, revealing a set of drawers and five shelves that would be the envy of any make-up lover — and which looks more like the stock room of a Sephora than a make-up closet.

Pro: He has been Kim Kardashian’s make-up artist for ten years
The 34-year-old posed of pictures inside the enormous closet, which is pristine and perfectly organized.
He has to keep it all neat, particularly because he receives five to seven packages full of make-up every day.
‘I obviously can’t use all of the products that I’m sent, so I put all the stuff in my closet that I plan on using. But this overflows a lot, and I have to constantly take stuff out,’ he explained.
‘I have a whole separate storage unit that’s an entire room with floor-to-ceiling shelves of make-up. My older sister will open everything for me, she lays it out, or my assistant will go and sort it out for me. Sometimes I’ll go and do the little Instagram stories or Snapchats of it.’
Envy-inducing: Mario shared that he receives around five to seven packages of make-up daily, which he sorts through and puts in his NYC penthouse closet if he wants to keep it
Kylie Cosmetics: He gushed,’I kind of hoard Kylie make-up. I love the packaging, I think it’s so cute’
See what you want? Everything in his closet is meticulously organized in clear containers
Chanel and Nars and Mercier, oh my! Labels face outward to make things easy top spot, and things like lipsticks and eyeshadows are organized by brand
Everything he needs: He also has plenty of tools, wipes, and cleansers, as well as a range of foundations
Mario gets very picky when it comes to sorting what products stay and which ones go. In fact, there isn’t much hemming and hawing: ‘As soon as I look at a product, I know whether I like it or not. Nothing excites me except for something with a good formula.
‘We are so over-saturated with launches, so it’s just the little simple things that excite me. I’ll do the hand test; if I like the hand test, I put it into a bag, and it comes here to my apartment.’
The beauty closet in his apartment was originally part of the master bedroom, which he transformed due to high influx of products. As for which products he can’t let go of, he shared, ‘I kind of hoard Kylie make-up. I love the packaging — I think it’s so cute.’
Extra: On top of the tremendous beauty closet he has in his apartment, he also has an additional storage unit that’s an entire room with floor-to-ceiling shelves of make-up
Storage: He organized the space in the fall of 2016 and showed it off online
BFFs: Kim and Mario are a dynamic duo and Mario bragged about the pair: ‘We’ve kind of had a pretty heavy influence in beauty in the past 10 years’
‘It’s just one of those brands that I need to save and not use them because one day I know they’ll be a collector’s item,’ he added. ‘I do use her gel liners. They’re actually my favorites in my kit.’
Mario gushed about his closet and career, telling the site, ‘I am obsessed with beauty, whether it’s decor or whatever.’
Mario’s beauty closet sits in a 1,700-square-foot penthouse on the Upper East Side of New York City, which he described to Architectural Digest as, ‘a refuge from the chaos of the city and my life. It’s like my personal little chic cocoon.’
