Behind the Scenes: My Makeup Process

My approach is built on my City & Guilds international certification, which emphasizes hygiene and systematic technique above everything else.

The Process Matters

Professional makeup is about more than just the final look. It starts with a proper CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing) routine using high-grade primers like Embryolisse or MAC, which is non-negotiable for achieving a 12-hour hold. My kit is stocked with industry-standard products—Charlotte Tilbury, Forever52, and PAC—because consistency in results relies on the quality of tools.

Adaptability in the Chair

Each video here shows a different context:

• For Shoots: The approach is technical. We look at skin textures and how light reacts to the base, adjusting the finish to look seamless on camera.
• For Weddings: The priority is longevity. Whether it is a humid Mumbai afternoon or an evening ceremony, I use sweat-resistant techniques and HD blending to ensure the makeup holds up through hours of festivities and constant flash photography.

Hygiene and Comfort

I maintain a strictly hygienic setup. Every brush is sanitized, and every product is applied with dedicated tools to prevent cross-contamination. When you sit in my chair, the goal is to create a calm space where you can relax while I handle the technical details, from precision eyeliner to complex hair padding. Whether you want a soft, natural look or a bold, dramatic finish, the steps I take remain the same: clean, precise, and professional.
