Q. Your most challenging project: Om Shanti Om

Q. Your inspiration: My mom

Q. A celeb for whom less is more: Priyanka Chopra

Q. A celeb who dabs a lot of foundation: Sridevi

Q. The spicy red lips look best on: Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone

Q. The biggest makeup faux pas: A dark lip liner with light lips within.

Q. 5 makeup essentials for collegians: Kajal pencil, compact powder, bright benefit cream, lip balm or a gloss, mascara

Q. The best eyebrows are: Medium to thick. I love thick eyebrows.

Q. A daily quick makeup tip: Curl your eyelashes. It opens up the eyes, making them look beautiful.

Q. What to refrain from on a hot, sunny day: Too much of foundation and applying an eyeliner that is prone to smudging.

Q. The ideal makeup to wear this 31st night: A beautiful smokey gold on the eyelids and a lovely coloured mouth (recommended only if you have the guts to carry it!).

Q. Makeup misconceptions: Freckles – they are beautiful! Many try to cover them up which actually gives a more ‘made-up’ look. Let them be. Just apply a good sunscreen. The other misconception is that dark outlined lips look good, but they don’t.
