Manzoor Khan is the only makeup artist who's allowed to touch Katrina Kaif's face.

Mahima Chaudhary and Anupama Verma also swear by his magical touch. Recent additions to his fan club are Pakistani ace models Sara Geelani and Mikaal Zulfikar, who were recently in India. "It felt nice to be known across the border. I really enjoyed working with them, especially Sara who has a flawless skin and sharp features," says Khan.

The young make-up maven used to dabble with his paintbrush and colours right since his school days. From canvas and paper, he soon graduated to faces. He learnt the art of make-up while still in college, and perfected it while assisting Cory Walia.

Today, Khan is one of the sought-after make-up men in Bollywood and the advertising industry. He has also pioneered the trend of working on the look for all characters in a film, something which is popular in Hollywood. His first project is The Film, where he's wielded the brush for Mahima Choudhary and the other main characters.

His next project is a Sahara production, for which he will zero in on the look of each character. "I change them from boys and girls to men and women, by increasing their jaw lines and giving them double chins." Shooting for this film will begin in July.
