About My Secrets & Techniques
One thing I tell every bride is that a great makeup look starts long before the foundation touches your skin. It’s all in the prep—specifically, using the right moisturizer for your skin type and never skipping CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing). If your skin is dehydrated, even the most expensive foundation will look cakey. My go-to trick for that festive glow is mixing a little strobe cream with your base, but always start with a thin layer of setting powder around your T-zone to keep it fresh for hours.
Making It Last
Makeup isn't just about the products; it’s about understanding the why behind every step. Whether you're prepping for a monsoon wedding in Mumbai or a dry winter event, the secret is adapting to the weather and your specific skin type.
Skin Prep Secrets
Monsoon brides, take note—humidity is your biggest enemy. I always recommend a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer and a solid setting spray to lock everything in. Don't be afraid to double cleanse in the evening to keep your pores clear. For summer brides, the focus shifts to mattifying primers that keep oil at bay without drying you out.
Choosing Your Sparkle
People often ask about glitter. If you’re going for a subtle, elegant vibe for a day function, stick to pressed glitter. If you want that dramatic wow factor for a Sangeet, loose glitter is your best friend. Just remember to use a high-quality glue so it doesn't end up on your cheeks! The level of reflection changes completely based on the size and quality of the glitter you choose.
The Importance of a Trial
I can’t stress this enough—book a trial. It’s not just about seeing the look; it’s about testing how the products hold up on your skin for a few hours. It’s your chance to see if you actually prefer a bold red lip or a classic nude, and for us to make sure everything feels comfortable and secure before your big day.
My Product Wisdom
I lean on reliable names like MAC, Forever52, and Estee Lauder because they hold up under harsh stage lights and long hours. But at the end of the day, the best secret is your own comfort. When you feel like yourself in the mirror, it shows.
