On September 24th, Sephora Canada will host celebrity makeup artist and founder of the Makeup by Mario brand, Mario Dedivanovic, in Toronto for "his first-ever Master Class with Sephora Canada—this event will allow attendees to learn Dedivanovic's signature makeup techniques, developed through his work with celebrities, fashion editorials, and red-carpet events."
Participants will also receive information about his popular products, including the 'SURREALSKIN Foundation,' 'SOFTSCULPT Transforming Skin Enhancer,' and the 'Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palettes,' all sold exclusively at Sephora Canada. Ultimately, fans of the brand and those interested in honing their makeup skills, will have the chance to master these core products to achieve a celebrity-like look.
