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

Another makeup artist who has a magical wand for a brush is Christien.

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.

With over three decades of experience under his belt, he is the champion in his game and works on his own terms.

Sheetal Khan

One of Bollywood’s famous makeup artist, you must have seen on Sonakshi Sinha’s Instagram posts more than often. The Sinha girl doesn’t trust anyone other than Sheetal when it comes to hair. Apparently our Rowdy heroine is very possessive about her stylist and irrespective of the project appoints Sheetal her beauty expert.

He is a top fashion and celeb make-up artist and Magazine’s like Elle India, Vogue, Grazia and Condé Nast Traveller are loaded with pictures of stars that flaunt the shades stroked by him. His range starts with Manisha Koirala but doesn’t just end with Parineeti Chopra.

Mallika Bhat

Kajol was spectacular in her come back movie Fanaa. Now we aren’t saying Kajol is not gorgeous already, but it was the pixie dust Mallika sprinkled on the actress that made her give all the young actress a run for their monies. If you are a beauty lover, don’t miss to give Mallika’s Instagram a follow.
