About Contemporary & International Styles
When I create these modern, international-style looks, it is not just about the colors or the trends. It is about the base. I prioritize intensive skin prep using products like Embryolisse or Clinique Moisture Surge to get that hydrated, glass-skin finish before I apply a single brush of makeup. Whether we are going for a sharp, icy Barbie-inspired eye or a dewy, nude look, the goal is always to keep the finish feeling light and breathable while ensuring it survives long hours on the dance floor.
I believe that 'international' doesn't mean ignoring your roots, it means finding a beautiful balance. Many of my clients come to me wanting to move away from the heavy, cakey traditional makeup of the past. They want a look that feels fresh, sophisticated, and polished.
My approach to contemporary styles involves a few specific techniques:
- The Fusion Blend: I love taking traditional outfits, like a heavy silk saree or lehenga, and pairing them with modern eye artistry—think purple smokey eyes, cool-toned shadows, or graphic liners. It creates a high-fashion contrast that really stands out.
- Skin-First Philosophy: International makeup is all about letting your skin breathe. I use airbrushing with Temptu for a pixel-perfect, water-resistant finish that stays intact even under hot stage lights, or I stick to luxury cream bases for that glow-from-within look.
- Attention to Detail: If you are wearing heavy head jewelry or a veil, I structure your hairstyle to support it without pulling, using heavy-duty setting sprays and secure pins so you can move freely without worrying about a hair out of place.
Whether you are planning a Christian wedding, a modern cocktail night, or simply want a look that feels more 'vogue' than 'traditional,' I am here to help. We will sit down before your big day, talk about the vibe you want, and make sure that when you step out, you feel like the most confident version of yourself. I travel across Delhi NCR and Agra, so whether you are at a hotel or your home, we can get you ready in comfort.
