About Behind The Beauty: My Podcast
In these episodes, I peel back the layers on the industry—moving past the glam to discuss the real pressures, the business side, and the daily 'jugad' required to make it. It is not just a podcast; it is where I share the honest, often unspoken lessons that I teach in my academy every single day.
My goal with 'Behind the Beauty' is simple: to stop the glorification of perfection and talk about what it actually takes to be a makeup artist today.
What we discuss:
- Real Industry Challenges: We talk about the intense pressure on Gen Z to look perfect, the reality of working with celebrities, and why authentic connection matters more than expensive products.
- Skin Standards & Confidence: From refusing to endorse fairness products to handling diverse skin tones and textures, we unpack the baggage surrounding beauty standards in India.
- Career & Business Insights: You will hear candid advice on why education is non-negotiable for success and how to balance your personal growth with your professional hustle.
- Quick 'Jugad' Hacks: Often, a deep conversation is interrupted by a simple makeup trick—like using a specific blush placement for a diamond face shape or reviving dehydrated skin with a mist. These aren't just tips; they are the hacks that keep me and my students moving forward.
Whether you are an aspiring artist, a student at my academy, or just someone looking for motivation, these conversations are meant to make you think, learn, and grow. Education is the first step, and honest dialogue is the next.
