The two artists behind Monsoon Letters
A key makeup artist and her assistant on how a fictional period film's faces were built — and who did what.
“I designed the look. Riya kept forty supporting faces matching for six weeks. Both jobs matter.”
The assignment
Monsoon Letters (a fictional film) needed rain-soaked 1970s faces that held for twelve-hour days. Nandini Rao was the key makeup artist; Riya Mehta joined as an assistant artist.
Who did what
Nandini designed and applied the principal cast's makeup. Riya handled base and touch-ups for supporting cast and kept the continuity book — credited on Yofiri exactly as Assistant Artist.
Where they are now
Nandini still takes brides on weekends in Mumbai. Riya runs a bridal practice in Ahmedabad and accepts public enquiries.
