She’s got the look -- mumbai mirror
Mallika Bhat, the make-up artist responsible for Kajol's luminous new comeback look in Fanaa, gives Aditi Jayakar Kane the lowdown on 'making-up' our screen beauties
Aditi Jayakar Kane
• KAJOL
Professionally speaking: I worked with Kajol in Fanaa and the recent Marie Biscuit campaign. For Fanaa, since Kajol was making a comeback, I was given strict instructions by the director Kunal Kohli, that she should look very good in every frame. Throughout the movie, we used make-up to give her a 'no make-up' look. As she played a blind girl in the first half of the film, I used minimum make-up and only applied a little mascara to her eyes. But in the second half, I could experiment a bit more. I made her look more Indian because she plays a mother; and she's Kashmiri, so I gave her hair-extensions and added kohl to her eyes, along with regular foundation and slight make-up on her face.
Body Basics: Kajol has a very interesting face. She has a very strong bone structure, and a prominent jaw line. She does not ordinarily like to dress up, but once she sits in the make-up chair she gives herself to you completely. She's the kind of person who gets completely transformed by make-up and takes to it very well. Once we finish the entire look, along with the costume, she looks absolutely fantastic.
Her skin has turned a little dry post pregnancy, so during Fanaa the make-up used to take a little time to settle down. But given the crazy schedules we had, and the dry weather we were shooting in — Delhi in November and after that in Poland, we couldn't help it.
