The Carndonagh-based entrepreneur behind Powder ‘n’ Pout cosmetics has revealed she is going to be hitting the USA this summer for one of the most influential makeup artists in the world’s Masterclass.

Mario Dedivanovic has been the celebrity makeup artist of beauty icon Kim Kardashian West for the past decade.

He also hosts the most in-demand makeup masterclasses across the world, and this year we’ll have a Donegal woman in attendance.

Kim Kardashian West will be joining Mario for The Masterclass in NYC in August, where Aisling will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet the influential celebrity.

Mario will be bringing the world-famous star to the stage to share detailed tips, tricks and techniques on how to create their most sought-after signature looks.


Aisling revealed the news to her Snapchat followers yesterday and was more than excited about the upcoming trip.

She was over the moon to share the news that Powder ‘n Pout Cosmetics makeup brushes have been chosen by Mario to be one of the brands in his gift bags. Mario handpicks the products for his elusive gift bags so this could be invaluable exposure for P’n’P this year.

This is a major step forward for Aisling, who runs her own salon in Carndonagh and had only launched her online shop in November 2015.

The ‘girl boss’ has since been making waves in the beauty and business world, and holds an award for the IBYE Best Established Business in Donegal.

Beauty industry leaders and professional makeup artists convene at The Masterclass where Aisling will mingle with other professional makeup artists at the event.

The landmark event will see Mario and Kim sharing not only their coveted beauty secrets, but also business insights and personal stories. Tickets for the Toronto and New York dates will set you back $500, so we can imagine there will be plenty of VIPs at the event.
