\"Kim has hundreds of millions of followers. I know that all those are not makeup artists,\" Dedivanovic said of the concept for his approachable makeup. \"I wanted to make sure that the product was very easy to use for anybody.\"

He said many of the shades in the eyeshadow palette were inspired by the classic looks that he has created for Kardashian over the years. \"I put obviously this pop of color in here,\" he said referring to the bright blue hue called Libra, which he said is a tribute to his and Kardashian's matching astrological signs. \"The reason I chose this shade was because Kim was hesitant a lot of times to use color.\"

The palette includes \"classic Kim and Mario gold and bronzes and browns,\" he said, but also has other hues to \"amp it up.\"

And no collaboration would be complete without Kardashian's signature nude lip.

\"I love a nude lip. I think it’s the sexiest lip ever. It’s the classic Kim K. look.\"
