Mickey Contractor on M.A.C Cosmetics Website

For my readers that have been reading my blog, you probably know that my two most favorite make-up artists are: Mickey Contractor and Vimi Joshi. Their artistry is one that I can only dream of achieving some day.

So, it came to me as a surprise that after many years of being a fan of Mickey's and wondering why the guy's (who brought M.A.C to India) name wasn't on the official website? I finally saw his name on M.A.C Cosmetics. Congratulations Mickey!

Years in Makeup:
1979

On the art of makeup:
You either get it or you don't.

Artist Tips:
Here's a simple quick trick for applying foundation that's a big hit with anyone who likes a light coverage.After generously moisturizing your face, use Select Moisturecover Concealer only on the T-Zone and under eyes and blend outwards to get an even finish. Lightly dust over it with Loose Invisible Powder, so it sets and gives a smooth, well-groomed look. Now you're ready to go and in half the time!

I love mickey! Any other bollywood makeup artists that are worth a mention? You should do a post on bollywood actresses and the makeup artists who they are most loyal to and who define their signature looks.
