Ben Nye in India!

Ben Nye Senior worked on this classic Hollywood film....



And one of Mulain's favourites.....what a legend and what a film!


Virginia MU popped into New Beauty Centre, Khar, Mumbai (022-26052947) yesterday and was picking up some last minute products for Natasha's shoot on Madh Island today....another Garnier Ad!....While Virg was getting squashed and butchered by the mad shoppers inside, Mulain managed to find a quiet corner to himself to breathe when low and behold he spotted make-up brand Ben Nye!!!! Was so excited as it is such an amazing brand for the professional make-up artist and it's here in Mumbai. The MUs just love the products, so to have them at our fingertips on Indian soil....huge wow factor.


For those of you unfamiliar with Ben Nye here's a little background. Ben Nye was a contemporary of Max Factor..i.e. one of the Hollywood's oldest and most renouned make-up artists....he worked for years in the film industry from the 1930s to the 1970s and in 1967 he retired and created Ben Nye the make-up company.....His company aimed to provide fellow artists with the right materials and products for straight make-ups, theatre make-up, film make-up, special effects, beauty......it's an all-round brand and one that the fat mu team really respect! Great products created by a great man. Fat mu love his stuff and on Slumdog used Ben Nye's bronzing tint on 2 of the boys to help build their character looks...(See left).

So a call to all you professionals (and non) head to New Beauty Centre, Khar to check them out! Or visit their website www.bennyemakeup.com ...you will not be disappointed! Here are a few pics of a few of their products below...great palettes, wheels for different effects...old age, bruising, burns, death. Tints, cremes, matts, metallics, coloured powders, translucent powders, lip pencils, eye pencils, transparent mascaras....it's too exciting really...












Mulain off to meet Natasha MU soon to have a company catch up....gearing up for our academy....enjoy your Sundays...
