Banu has worked for numerous well known stars in the south like Suriya, Vikram, and Thalaiva Rajnikant.

Mickey Contractor
The top makeup artist in Bollywood who has given a new dimension to the beauty of Rani Mukherji, Preety Zinta and Kareena Kapoor is Mickey Contractor. Now back in the day, makeup artists in Bollywood were not allowed to do hair, and so Mickey had to fight a lot of gender discrimination. With over three decades of experience under his belt, he is the champion in his game and works on his own terms.
