Make-up Artists

Make-up artists from India and the UK share their secrets of how to make it in fashion and film.

Two leading female make-up artists speak to Kim Chakanetsa on the power of powder to create looks, moods and characters.

Alex Box is a British internationally-renowned fashion make-up artist. Her work is artistic, colourful and unique. Alex's background is in fine art, and she uses that as an inspiration to constantly push the boundaries of her work.

Charu Khurana is the first official female make-up artist in Bollywood. She spent years fighting against an informal ban on women working in the film industry across India. Charu is now one of the few professionals in her field to be trained in handling prosthetics.
