I focus on skin prep using hydrating primers like Embryolisse to ensure a dewy finish that lasts, while my saree draping includes secure pinning for heavy jewelry. This ensures you remain comfortable and polished throughout your event or shoot without worrying about pins or adjustments. My approach to ethnic and festive styling is rooted in versatility. Whether you are aiming for a classic look with smokey eyes and defined brows for a rich saree, or a fresh, monochrome aesthetic for a festive photoshoot, I adapt my techniques to the specific vibe of your ensemble. ### Why My Ethnic Styling Stands Out - **Precision Draping:** I handle full saree draping, from modern, tight pleats to traditional styles. I ensure the drape is secure and comfortable for long hours of movement. - **Technical Makeup:** I use HD foundations and sweat-resistant powders to prevent flashback or oily T-zones, which are common issues in studio or event lighting. My skin prep is intensive, focusing on hydration to maintain a healthy, dewy glow rather than using heavy layers. - **Jewelry Setting:** I don't just do the makeup; I ensure your Maang Tikka, Nath, or Passa is pinned securely so it stays in place throughout the event. - **Versatile Hair:** I create styles ranging from intricate, tight braids to sleek, low buns and soft waves, ensuring the hairstyle balances the volume and weight of your ethnic jewelry. ### My Process I believe the best results come from collaboration. I listen to the specific aesthetic you want—be it a royal look or a minimal festive vibe—and then design a makeup and hair strategy to match. I regularly work with influencers and agencies, so I understand the importance of keeping the makeup clean, polished, and camera-ready, regardless of the lighting conditions. If you need a look that looks as good in person as it does on camera, I am here to help. ## About Pooja Choudhary I'm Pooja, an internationally certified makeup and hair artist based in Mumbai.
