A Q & A with M∙A∙C and Mickey Contractor.
Mickey, how long have you been working with M·A·C?
It‟s been 32 years since I started working as a makeup artist and this is my 6th year with M·A·C. I‟ve collaborated with the brand since they launched in India. M·A·C wanted to work alongside a makeup artist with credibility, experience, the ability to inspire who was also an authority of goodwill in the industry. So when they came to me and said, “We‟d like you to collaborate with us, we‟re opening a store in Bombay”: I thought, “This is a Godsend for me”. Working with M·A·C was an opportunity to really convey my vision. They have such incredible authority and influence in the industry and becoming a part of that was incredibly exciting to me.
Had you already been using M·A·C products?
Yes, I‟d been using M·A·C for years. I first discovered M·A·C when I was in Canada about 15 years ago where I bought Twig, Malt and Marrakech lipsticks. Those kinds of shades just weren‟t available in India. In fact, so little makeup was available in India back then! I‟ve been a huge fan ever since.
What’s your beauty philosophy?
For me, beauty is about a natural-looking woman
