Manish Malhotra's Make-up Favorites


  • Always soft and neat, Manish doesn’t endorse the untidy look one bit.

  • The overall look of the face has to be nude and soft.

  • The lipstick should always be a brownish pink (M.A.C Lipstick in Viva Glam 5), topped with lots of gloss (M.A.C Tinted Lipgloss in Viva Glam 5).

  • Not too much color in the form of garish eye shadow, he prefers the natural or the smudged smoky look.

  • An elaborate hairdo has to be balanced with a no make-up feel.
