Comments Manzoor, “Today art of makeup has gone beyond the process of just applying makeup or making a woman look more beautiful. There is whole lot of beauty science involved before doing the makeup. One needs to understand the skin tone, skin texture, personality, the occasion, clothes etc before we can decide on type of makeup and colour tones to be used. Hair type and cut too play a vital role in selecting the makeup. In my Salon and Lounge we are not doing juts makeup. We have skin consultants available to give that extra edge and better confidence to the client.”

Manzoor, who has been exposed to international market through his work on various commercials and his personal association with L’Oreal, treats make up as a fine art.

Through his Salon and Lounge, Manzoor will also be imparting courses for personal makeup. Besides this he has also started 3 & 6 months’ professional courses in makeup and hair. “Just knowing how to use a brush or scissors is not enough. You also need to understand its strength in enhancing or spoiling the looks,” comments Manzoor
