## Meet your expert

### My story

Kem cho! I’m Rinkal, full-on Gujarati chokri but you’ll spot me as a Marathi mulgi when Gudi Padwa comes. Makeup has taken me from winning WorldSkills India gold to doing backstage magic at Lakme Fashion Week. But honestly, my heart’s in teaching and playing with wild looks—sometimes Shiv makeup, sometimes Latina vibes. Makeup for me is more than colors—it's about bold confidence. Bas, adore yourself. Simple.

### My work

- **Makeup for Every Occasion**: I do soft Gujarati bridal makeup, Maharashtrian glam, Sakarpuda, Haldi, Sangeet, parties, plus creative high-fashion looks.
- **Signature Style**: Love soft, simple, stunning looks. But if you want drama, I’m here for it. Your vibe, your rules.
- **Teaching & Pro Tips**: I teach makeup and nails. For stone bindis, use lash glue—trust me, it stays all day.
- **Bridal Happiness**: Seeing brides light up is everything. I create stories—kanku ane kajal ni saanjh ma, ek sundar kahaani.
