Katrina Kaif and Aishwarya Rai have the best lips in B Town. Make up faux pas are a thing of the past because celebs nowadays hire dedicated artists to take care of the slightest things.Deebashree Mohanty speaks with Clint Fernandes, popular make up man to tell you more
Katrina has the best pout in the industry today. Says whoIJ Her make up artist, Clint Fernandes, who has been the man behind all the last minute touch ups in the most famous fashion weeks. His association with Bolly celebs goes a long way and Clint argues that he has witnessed a definite change in the fashion trend, especially when it concerns lip colours and nail paints.
“Before Kat, I would say Madhubala had the best pout. But Kat’s got everything working for her. And I can vouch for it that she has got a very natural lip texture and a natural pink tone on her lips. It is sad that she gets entangled in all these media related controversies that blame her of having done a lip job. Actresses in Bollywood use a lot of lip plumpers to enhance their pout but in the process, they over do it. They become greedy and use it to the point that it looks unnatural,” Fernandes says. He adds that Aishwarya Rai too has got lucious lips and Kareena is a clever designer. She knows how to mix and match,” the ace make up man from Mumbai says.
As for any faux pas, Clint tells you it is impossible to come across one nowadays. “Thanks to the constant media glare, all actresses, including TV actresses are hiring make up specialists to ensure that they have got the right look. Even if they are attending a rubbish event, they make sure that the make up is in place. So what if the clothes are shabby,” he tells you.
Clint’s association with lakme goes back a long time and he is making the most of his experience giving touch ups to the lakme Fashion Week models. Ask him what is the fad for this summer and pat comes his reply — bling and high colours. “The lakme Pop tints are in fashion because designers are coming up with bling in their clothes. You can’t go nude on your lips when you are wearing heavy colours. It will only make you look sick,” he says.
For this summer, Clint has something different in store — “We have come up with this lakme Absolute Pop Tint collection that will make your lips and nails pop in true diva style. These are bright happy colours and can be teamed with every possible dress,” Clint tells you.
He says that rubbing coarse sugar with honey every night before sleep will ensure that your lips are hydrated. “Use balm no matter what season,” Clint concludes with this.
