Since years, I have been an ardent fan of Bollywood’s top makeup artist, Mickey Contractor. Known for his signature look of smokey eyes and nude lips, he’s the one responsible for making the creme of Bollywood look their most glam. I was excited when MAC invited me to the preview of Mickey Contractor’s latest video but imagine my surprise when the man himself – yes, The Mickey Contractor himself – was there to share his tips with us and help us recreate his signature makeup look with flawless skin and nude lips.
Not only did he guide us through the entire makeup process, he also shared tips on how to achieve flawless looking skin without it looking caked up. I have always shunned curling my lashes but he showed me what a huge difference it makes and showed the right way to curl them.

Hi new video that we previewed at the event was all about Indian Beauty essentials – simple kohled eyes with nude lips for an almost no-makeup makeup look. One of the things that I really liked about his makeup technique is that he believes in using the fingers to apply and blend makeup. He also is a minimalist and believes that less is more when it comes to makeup, especially if you want the makeup to look natural. And this is the finished look…
You can check out his video here.

Do let me know your thoughts on this makeup look. I’m looking forward to your feedback.
I looked gorgeous at my friend’s wedding with their makeup.They also offered the best curling for my hair. Everyone told me that I looked natural with my makeup.The tips offered have helped my friend who is now a leading beautician to improve her skills. The way in which he used his hand to blend the makeup was astonishing & something that can only be mastered with years of experience!
I just saw the video, I liked your work. Keep it up
Thank you.
