In an interview with Masoom Minawala, Mickey Contractor, a celebrated makeup artist, shared insights on Alia Bhatt's makeup for the film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'. He revealed that Alia went foundation-free, a choice that highlighted her natural beauty. Contractor explained that this decision was influenced by his advertising experience, where he learned to create a 'no-makeup' look. Despite initial concerns from director Karan Johar about maintaining glamour without foundation, Alia embraced the idea. The makeup consisted of concealer, smoky eyeshadow, and cream blush, allowing her eyes to take center stage. Contractor noted that while Farah Khan initially reacted to the bold smoky eye look, she ultimately appreciated the final result, calling Alia's eyes 'fab'. This approach marks a shift in makeup trends, focusing on authenticity over heavy application.
