Sharmila eyes

By semi-popular demand, as a follow-up to my last post: my *she’s got Sharmila eyes* effort.

(Sorry for the bad computer photo but Gemma can’t take pictures—it’s that old opposable thumbs issue again.)

And speaking of Gemma: she has natural eyeliner, although it’s more of a smoky kajal look.

All right, back to movie reviews.

    Make the upper line a little bit thicker and bit arched, Memsaab? Then you will look better than Sharmila :D

    And I want Gemma eyes!!! She is SO beautiful!

  2. memsaab's avatar

    Ha ha, I will never look better than Sharmila. I will also probably not do this again unless it’s for Halloween or something!

    hey very good indeed!!! a side-job as eye-liner specialist in bollywood?

    Awww, Memsaab, you so preeettteeeeee. And Gemma is so cute too – who needs opposable thumbs anyway?!

    More Helen eyes in that picture I think… not a bad thing, really.

    Man i always try to do my eyes like her but it just never comes out right! You need a really steady hand for stuff like that.

    bawa: Oooh! If I get laid off perhaps I will pursue that sideline! :-)

    ppcc: You are nice :-) Gemma doesn’t need them, although it would be useful for ME sometimes if she had them. But I am her ever-willing slave.

    OMG the eyeliner is totally Sharmila!!!! u got lovely eyes, I agree w/ the PPCC totallyy.

    Pretty eyes!

    Can I request the famous bouffant hairstyle of Sharmila’s now? :D

    PC: Helen eyes!!!! That is truly an honor :-)

    Karen: Yes, but I’ve been applying eyeliner since I was twelve. A long, LONG time…

    shweta: You are also nice!

    Solilo: I’m not very good with hair, my own has always been quite unruly. I did have a friend who was excellent at making “spare hair” concoctions! and that was always fun :-)

    great attempt memsaab, atleast you don’t do it crazy style like me with the Saira Banu humungo arches upto the eyebrow end! Occasionaly i try the toned down Sadhana kind where the arch is a little lower and less thick but i always go back to the massive kind! but i loooooove Gemma’s kaajal eyes, she’s got it going on!

  12. memsaab's avatar

    Mine are usually more like Gemma’s, I must say. The heavy black eyeliner is great when you are young but at some point you have to tone it down a bit (unless you are Elizabeth Taylor :-)

  13. Suhan's avatar

    Oye oye Memsaab ekdum La Tagore :-)

  14. Ranya's avatar

    great job!! i vote for the hairstyle idea too! also, you could put a “bindi” on :-D

  15. memsaab's avatar

    Suhan: :-D

    Ranya: Ooh, and I have lots of bindis (although mine are much more glam than the one Sharmila’s got on)!

  16. PC's avatar

    Oh definitely… folks, compare Memsaab’s eyes here to Helen’s in the header.

    I think I love you, PC ;-)

    Good article on Sharmila Memsaab. She paired her eyes with Super Star Rajesh khanna about 11 movies.

    1) Aradhana – 1969
    2) Safar – 1970
    3) Chhoti Bahu – 1971
    4) Amar Prem – 1971
    5) Badnam Fariste – 1971
    6) Maalik – 1972
    7) Aavishkar – 1973
    8) Daag – 1973
    9) Raja Rani – 1973
    10) Tyaag – 1976
    11) Naseeb – Herself appearing along with Super Star Rajesh Khanna.

    They greatest pair of bollywood.

    Talk about a steady hand with the eyeliner!

    Nice!

  20. Amrita's avatar

    ooh, did you do that with liquid eyeliner? I feel inspired. I usually end up piling it on too thick though :( it’s almost irresistible.

    And Gemma’s clearly a beauty for the ages. awww!

  21. Banno's avatar

    That’s cheating really. Because you also have Sharmila eyebrows. Not like mine which are 2 lines going down like Vinod Khanna. :-(

    And Gemma has such beautiful beautiful eyes.

    Lovely.

  22. memsaab's avatar

    V. Manohar: My New Year’s wish for you is that you get to meet the Superstar himself in person :)

    Kiran: Yes, lots of practice!

    Amrita: Gemma is a beauty, I’m happy to agree! Re: piling it on too thick…is that even possible?

    Banno: I don’t believe you re: the eyebrows. Anyway, anyone can have Sharmila brows if they’re willing to pluck out their natural hair and draw new ones on with a marker! Ha ha.

  23. dustedoff's avatar

    Oh, very pretty, both of you :-). Though I do think Gemma replicates Sharmila’s wide-eyed look better than you do! ;-)

  24. memsaab's avatar

    Yes, that is def. true! My eyes are not nearly as round as theirs :-) Wonder what Gemma would look like with eyeliner out to her ears?….No, I can’t do that. The SPCA would come after me, and rightly so…

  25. Unknown's avatar

    I don’t like you, you trashed Woh Kaun Thi, the movie that scared me out of my wits as a kid.

    I think I will totally like you, you review movies and like someone said, can do a Helen even if you think it is Sharmila : )

    Wait, let me make up my mind. After watching Apradh, which is on the telly today : )

  26. memsaab's avatar

    Oh my! Please do let me know once you’ve seen Apradh (which, by the way, if you don’t like, then I won’t like YOU) :-)

  27. Nida's avatar

    Vah, vah! You look beautyful! And wow, you really do have the whole liquid liner art downpat.;)

  28. memsaab's avatar

    Thanks Nida :) Look forward to a girly makeup session with you one of these days!

  29. V. Manohar's avatar

    Thanks memsaab. I look forward for 2009 many more articles on our Super Star Rajesh Khanna. And I wish you all the best memsaab once again on your contributions.

  30. bollyviewer's avatar

    Awesome liner. Now you are all ready to star with “super-star” Rajesh Khanna! :-)

  31. desipolitan's avatar

    Lovely eyes! I agree that liquid liner is best for these filmi looks. It must be ultra waterproof, no? Has to withstand the obligatory tearful scene and possibly a dance or two in the rain.

    p.s.
    Cute nose ring!

  32. memsaab's avatar

    I’ve never been able to find a liner that was waterproof enough to withstand what it does in Hindi movies! Definitely there it is strong enough to withstand a nuclear explosion!

    :-) I love my nose ring too…

  33. Beth's avatar

    If I tried, I’d no doubt blind myself. I’m so impressed!
