We're living in the golden age of beauty—that is, if the amount of celebrity makeup artists who have started their own brands is any indication. Are you obsessed with the looks Pat McGrath creates at any given fashion week? Shop her brand, Pat McGrath Labs. Do you save every makeup look Patrick Ta posts on Instagram? Shop his brand, Patrick Ta Beauty. Is Kim Kardashian your main makeup inspiration? Turn to Makeup by Mario. 

The latter is owned and operated by Kardashian's longtime friend and makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic. His products can be found in the makeup bags of celebrities, influencers, and beauty editors, including mine. I have a large number of his products, many of which I use daily. I love them so much that I've practically forced my friends (and a few strangers) to try them. But don't worry—it's always friendly, and they ultimately love them. See the 14 best beauty editor-approved Makeup by Mario products below, plus three looks I created with them.

Look #1

My first look was something I'd wear every day, whether to the office, to brunch, or somewhere similarly casual. It is all about pink cheeks, lightly defined eyes, and shiny tinted lips.

Look #2

I upped the ante for the second look, opting for a vinyl-like red lip. Because I wanted the bold lip to be the focal point, I kept the rest of my makeup minimal for a French-inspired look. This is a look I'd wear to dinner or an event because it's slightly sultrier.

Look #3

The final look was all about living my ABBA-fueled '70s disco dreams. I opted for bold, metallic blue eye shadow balanced with a shiny nude lip gloss.
