Thanks to his makeup artistry, Mario has been the recipient of quite a few different awards. He was named the Best Celebrity Makeup Artist at the 2017 American Influencer Awards, and also received the Award of Honor and the title of Beauty Influencer of the Year at the 2018 Monaco Influencer Awards. The Albanian government has even recognized Mario, awarding him the ODA Award for being a positive influence and role model to the nation's people.

Outside of his remarkable glam skills, Mario has appeared in a few shows as well. He took part in the likes of Glam Masters (2018), Instant Influencer with James Charles (2020), and Inner Circle (2016), per IMDb.

Mario also teaches a paid Master Class on all things makeup for his most devout followers. If one thing is clear, it's that Mario has quickly become one of the makeup industry's brightest stars, and given his momentum, it doesn't seem like he'll be letting up any time soon.
