Kim Kardashian’s make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic warned that working with her would ‘ruin his career’

Kim Kardashian’s make-up artist Mario Dedivanovic has revealed that he told to stop working with her, because she would “ruin” his career.

The make-up artist, otherwise known as MakeUpByMario, shared an image of a calendar  that he has kept for over 10 years.

Written in the calendar was a job that was booked in for none other than Kim Kardashian.

Mario revealed to his fans that his agent at the time told him not to work with the KUWTK star, as his career would be ruined.

This is my calendar from 2008 that I still have. 10 years ago, on April 5th, 2008 I met @kimkardashian on a cover shoot. I almost didn’t take the job because I had to work at Fox that afternoon where I did makeup for the anchors on the weekends for extra $. At this point I had been a makeup artist for 8 years in NYC, honing my craft, building my portfolio and paying my dues. Retail, weddings, editorial, TV, personal clients, assisting. I began working with some singers and actresses around this time & then I met Kim and began to work with her often. The idea of a reality star at the time was new. After all my years paying dues and assisting some of the big fashion and celeb makeup greats, I was being groomed to begin working with A list stars- actresses & recording artists. I had an agent who demanded that I stop working with Kim immediately. They said I would ruin my career and my career would end within a year or 2. That all of my hard work and struggles until then would be for nothing. Was I going to sit and worry about what the elitist industry would think of me and try to fit into their mold? I refused. I chose to stick with Kim because it felt right in my heart. She was hard working, loyal and sweet. She kept me insanely busy. She appreciated me and my artistry and I had too much respect for her. When I parted ways with my agency, one of the last things they said to me was “good luck, Mario because you will never get a Vogue cover working with her.” Swipe left to see how that turned out. Never let anyone dictate the trajectory of your life and career. The past decade with Kim has been incredible. We’ve grown together, set trends, inspired and impacted an industry along the way. Through all her milestones and achievements and through her rise to global superstardom she has taken me along the way and impacted my life greatly, helping me to achieve unparalleled success of my own as a celebrity makeup artist. I am so excited to finally announce that on April 5, 2018 – exactly 10 years to the day we met, our #KKWxMARIO collaboration with @kkwbeauty will launch! Turn on notifications for the very first reveal tomorrow! #KKWxMARIO

The agent also said that Mario’s career would end within a year or two.

Mario has been working with Kim ever since and admitted, “I chose to stick with Kim because it felt right in my heart. She was hard working, loyal and sweet. She kept me insanely busy. She appreciated me and my artistry and I had too much respect for her.”

The makeup artist also revealed that when he left his agency at the time, he was told, “Good luck, Mario because you will never get a Vogue cover working with her.”

Since then, Mario and Kim have well and truly proved that agent wrong, as Kim has now featured on six covers of Vogue.

Mario finished the post by revealing that on the 5th of April to the day he met the reality star, he will be launching his very own #KKWxMARIO collaboration with Kim’s brand KKW Beauty.

“I am so excited to finally announce that on April 5, 2018 – exactly 10 years to the day we met, our #KKWxMARIO collaboration with @kkwbeauty will launch,” he added.
