Namrata Soni often uses gold eyeshadow for Sonam Kapoor, whom she says is not afraid to experiment with styles.
The glittery eye: Namrata Soni Women weren't allowed to work as makeup artists in the Hindi film industry in 2003, when Namrata Soni began her career. Back then, they had to pretend they were hairstylists. So, when Soni won an IIFA award for prosthetics for Om Shanti Om in 2007, there was hostility all around. Things only changed in 2014, when the Supreme Court ended the nearly 60-year-old ban.
Soni was already a well-known name on film sets by then. She's the one who introduced fresh-faced looks for young millennials with Aisha in 2010.
"Before Aisha, looks were mostly geared towards smoky eyes, winged liner and dark lipstick," she recalls. “We kept the makeup minimal but fun - peach eyeshadow, pink cheeks, and soft, balmy lips. The braided hairband that we did became a cult favourite, because it was so easy to replicate."
Get glitter eyeshadow right
Dab shimmery eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eye if you don't need glitter all over.
Try liquid glitter for a glossy finish on lids.
Give a smoky eye a sparkling edge by dabbing shimmer on just the centre of the lid.
Shimmery nude shadow is versatile. Brush it over collarbones, cheekbones, and the centre of the lip.
And use it for a boost of confidence. "I see people instantly feel beautiful," says Soni.
Soni also gave Sonam Kapoor glittery eyeshadow and red lips for the Cannes Film Festival in 2013, to go with her nose pin and white lace sari. “It was one of my most iconic moments," she recalls.
Glitter eyeshadow demands confidence.
