We made a point to not let her go, we held tight to the questions we were about to frame, and we made sure that she was not slipping off the interest. One makeup look that is close to your heart? we then ask her - she says “The rainbow look I did specially for pride month is the closest thing to my heart, it was to show my love and support for the LGBTQAI+ community”. “The tutorial for this look was very well-received by everyone on Instagram and even got reposted by a big featuring page (undiscovered_muas)”, she adds. Kalita could be a witty multi-tasker, she is so fierce while answering, as if we are taking conclusions from a well-known-celebrity who has experiences beyond our imagination, she is no less than a celebrity though! she manifests best of both worlds, the blue blood and moon shine – you are a makeup influencer, video director and editor, content creator, digital marketer, copywriter, and a strategist. why did you chose to turn into these labels, when and why? - we ask Kalita – “after finishing my masters from nIfT in fashion management, I joined a fashion forecasting company where I learnt everything about international fashion, fashion business and editing”. After almost 2 years of doing that, I moved to a luxury e-commerce company where I learnt all there was to learn about social media and digital marketing. my third and last full-time job was at the fashion and lifestyle e-commerce portal, Jabong. Here I gained valuable expertise working as a content writer and strategist for 2 years again, so I’ve been fairly lucky to be able to explore new avenues in every job I’ve had and expanding my portfolio. I’ve always believed in being self-sufficient when it comes to getting a job done, which is why after resigning, she learnt photoshop and final Cut pro x on her own so that she could edit her pictures and videos without @KALITALAmbA relying on somebody else to do it. she adds ”I am a perfectionist that way, so this is what works for me”. we ask her – In what age did you start your obsession with makeup and visual art? – Kalita says, “I started wearing makeup when I entered college at 18 but I properly got into it 2 years back”. As for visual arts, I’ve always been around and worked closely with other employees who were graphic designers but never really explored those softwares on my own till recently in november 2017. we then ask Kalita how old was she to first put on a lipstick and which brand was it? she says that It was probably one of her mom’s lipsticks in the 90s, she believes it was by revlon. she says she has no clue how she felt at that time, and she honestly doesn’t remember but was obsessed with trying on her mom’s metallic wedding heels, chainmail bags and makeup! she concludes “All I’ll say – Copper eye, nude lip - that’s all the shade and tea you’re getting out of me”! we expect someone like her to binge watch a girl boss series, so we ask her – do you follow Kardashians? - she says she does follow them on Instagram, but she hasn’t been able to Katch up with the series for 2-3 years now. wOw! That sounds very intriguing. we decide to take the serious topics aside and ask her some light-hearted questions – our team makes a cheesy call to order 2 cheese burst pizzas from dominos and these questions pop up – we ask her in a very grumpy and hungry mood – things you binge on, she says cheese balls, dark chocolate and ice-cream. @KALITALAmbA
