Bronze was the order of the day for her awards night make-up.

When it comes to Kimmy K’s make-up we kinda know what to expect by now: a full coverage matte base, heavy contour and extreme lashes, but on last night’s VMAs red carpet, she ditched her signature look, and opted for something a little bit different.

Chatting to The Daily Mail post-awards show, Kim’s MUA Mario Dedivanovic confirmed our suspicions and revealed that her make-up “wasn’t a classic Kim look.”

‘We used a lot less product than we normally do. I just came back from being in Hawaii for two weeks, and I was inspired by all the bronzed girls there who looked so dewy and natural. So we went with this Greek goddess vibe with kind of a Mediterranean feel.’

Natural or not though, Kim’s awards night make-up still cost a helluva lot of cash, checking out at €246 in total.

Laura Mercier products were the name of the game and Mario shared a pic on Instagram of the full kit.


First up, was Laura Mercier’s Candleglow Soft Luminous Foundation in Maple, €48, which Mario layered on after a touch of emollient, and then set with Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting powder, €42 and Matte Radiance Baked powder in Bronze, €40.
