West is West - Photo Calls, Press conference and Red Carpet





M.A.C.H Artists - Amy Brandon and Melanie Meik

Due to be released in Feb 2011 West is West is the sequel to the 90s hit East is East. Set in the 1970s, the film follows the story of a mixed race family in Salford. Most of the original cast has reassembled including Om Puri, Ila Arun, Lesley Nicol, Linda Bassett, Emil Marwa and Jimi Mistry.
I worked throughout the day with Ila Arun, who also sings on the hindu song "Ringa Ringa" featured on the soundtrack of Slumdog Millionaire. For Ila's make up - her eyes were the feature of her look, using strong smokey tones blending dusky pinks in the inner corner of the top eyelid blended into Matte grey and black eye shadows, heavily lined with MAC blacktrack gel liner and highlighted with a gold pigment to make them pop!

I also worked with MACH Artist Melanie Meik to get Leslee Udwin and Linda Bassett ready for the red carpet that evening. We had to work fast but team 'Melamy' made sure everyone was on time and looking amazing for the premiere!
