“I’m going with an open mind and heart, and I’m genuinely excited to connect with the Indian people and culture.
“I have a deep respect for the Indian culture, and I look forward to discovering all of the brands and artists there.”
With Diwali right around the corner, Mario shared his go-to look for the festive season.
The makeup artist said: “During the festive season, I love to apply pops of rich colour on either the eyes or lips while keeping the complexion natural and softly enhancing the features.”
Mario went on to share his hacks for long-lasting makeup in India’s hot and humid climate:
“Layering products in thin layers helps to achieve long-lasting makeup.
“Using cream formulas first and going over with just a bit of a powder formula helps to set the makeup and ensures its longevity.”
Mario went to share some makeup tips for Indian skin tones.
He said: “Use a bit of colour corrector to balance any grey or uneven undertones on the complexion.
“I try to avoid too many grey tones and keep with more warm and golden tones on the skin.”
