This Skincare Brand Helped Kim Achieve the ‘Wet, Dripping’ Look at Met Gala

In case you were wondering – no, Kim Kardashian was definitely not dripping wet when she attended the 2019 Met Gala. But she definitely seemed like she was, a look perfectly achieved by the reality star’s longtime makeup artist and friend, Mario Dedivanovic.

First of all, let us discuss the inspiration for the look that Kim chose for the Gala’s theme, Camp: Notes on Fashion. It was actress Sophia Loren’s look in the 1957 movie Boy on a Dolphin, specifically the scene where she was coming out of the ocean, with her clothes all wet. The actress dress was clinging to her body highlighting her small waist. The outfit inspiration was perfectly achieved by French designer Manfred Thierry Mugler, who made the silica organza dress.

But no matter how perfect Kim’s dress was, the overall look of just ‘coming out of the water’ wouldn’t have been possible without Dedivanovic’s magic hands. The makeup artist shared on Instagram some of the items he used to prep Kim’s makeup, which were all Tatcha products.

It’s not surprising that Dedivanovic chose Tatcha to give Kim her luminous glow during the Met Gala, since he has been raving about them back in February, sharing to PEOPLE some of the current must-have beauty items. One of them is Tatcha’s new The Dewy Skin Cream; a moisturizer that he claims gives skin a radiant glow. The makeup artist also mentions that the skin cream is great to use as makeup base. Then there’s the Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist, a best-selling product that both he and Kim fell in love with.

With Dedivanovic promoting these items, we wouldn’t be surprised if they have been selling like hotcakes since the Met Gala. After all, most products promoted or used on any of the Kardashian-Jenner siblings sell fast. Despite being a little pricey, some users claim they are worth every dollar spent.
