Man who smeared Kim Kardashian in baby oil for controversial butt pic talks photo shoot

Bronx-born and raised Mario Dedivanovic was the envy of many after getting the job of greasing up the starlet for her nude Paper magazine spread. One of the most common questions about the shoot is about which brand of baby oil was used.


Meet the man who had the best job in the world — he got to smear baby oil all over Kim Kardashian’s body for her bare-all photo spread.

“I don’t have a name for the oil,” Mario Dedivanovic told the Daily News on Thursday. “It's just a baby oil product from Europe. I just sprayed it all over her body from a pump bottle.”

Dedivanovic, who is Bronx-born and raised, said he wished he could remember the brand he used to make Kim’s outrageous curves glisten.

“Everyone keeps asking me about it,” he said. “It’s so crazy. It’s just a basic baby oil product.”

The curvy 34-year-old wife of rapper Kanye West and her amazing ass-et became an Internet sensation this week after it was featured on the glossy cover of Paper magazine.

Inside was a sexy spread by photographer Jean-Paul Goude, which also had a full-frontal shot of the already overexposed reality TV star.

“The shoot was very fun,” said Dedivanovic, 32. “It's always a great experience when working with such an iconic legendary photographer.”

Then Dedivanovic began dishing on how got Kim ready for the shoot, which was done in Paris “during fashion week,” which ran Feb. 25 to March 5.

“For the face, we went for a natural look,” he said. “Jean-Paul Goude wanted me to do my thing but make her look like her herself. We used a very simple black liquid line on the eyes, no false lashes, just a pretty, classic look. I don't have a name for the product on the lip either. It was a peachy nude lipstick.”

Dedivanovic said they were aiming for a “dewy” look, so he sprayed “some Evian on her face.”

Asked if the notoriously controlling West was on the set, the ever-diplomatic Dedivanovic said, “It was just myself, Kim and the photographer. He sketched out what he wanted to do and we did it.

“The whole shoot was actually pretty quick,” he added. “When they did the nude shots, it was a closed set — just myself, Kim and the photographer.”

Dedivanovic said gilding the full-figured lily that is Kim Kardashian didn’t take very long, either.

“The makeup, very quick,” he said. “It took about 20 minutes. The hair was more detailed, more artistic. The makeup was very simple.”

o was Kim's outfit — a black sequined gown that she barely wore.

Dedivanovic’s dad, an Albanian immigrant from Montenegro, insisted he hadn’t seen the KK pictures but said he was “very proud” of his son

“I knew he was going to become famous,” the elder Dedivanovic, 67, said. “He loves his job, and he's so dedicated to that kind of job. He works very hard.”

“I don’t ask him too many questions about his business,” he added. “I know about Kim Kardashian. But he also worked with Jennifer Lopez and others.”

Some other beauties Dedivanovic has  worked with include Christina Aguilera, Natasha Bedingfield, Eliza Dushku, Michelle Williams, Lil Kim and Gina Gershon.

Goude, who is French, also is no stranger to beauties who have bared it all. For years his muse and girlfriend was performer Grace Jones, with whom he had a son named Paulo.
