For weddings in Mumbai, I rely on Bobbi Brown’s Vitamin Enriched Face Base—it is a moisturizer and primer in one that grips your makeup, ensuring your glam stays fresh and plush, not oily, from the first photo to the last dance. ### My Kit Essentials I believe in using products that perform under pressure, especially under the heat of stage lights or long event hours. My vanity is stocked with brands like Dior and Charlotte Tilbury because their textures melt beautifully into the skin. Whether it is the Dior Skin Glow foundation for that luminous, regal base or Huda Beauty palettes for precise, pigmented eye work, I only use what I trust to last. ### The Skin Prep Ritual Many people think makeup starts with foundation, but I start with hydration. Regardless of whether your skin is textured or acne-prone, I use Rhode Glazing Milk to hydrate the barrier. This creates a smooth canvas so the makeup looks like skin, not a mask. For long-wear, I lock everything in with Urban Decay or Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray—these are the secret weapons that keep your look intact through dancing, humidity, and tears. ### Why Technique Matters Products are only as good as the hand that applies them. In my masterclasses, I teach students that it is not about layering more product, but about layering correctly. For example, when creating a defined lip, I often use a mix of Kylie Cosmetics and Huda Beauty, applying with a brush for precision. It is about understanding your features—whether we are doing a cut crease for a sangeet or a soft, natural glam for a photoshoot—and customizing the process to fit your vibe. ## About Amii A Ruparelia I’m Amii, and for me, makeup is about making you feel like the best version of yourself, not covering up who you are.
