Behind the Scenes: My Stories, Process, and Trials
Come behind the curtain to see how I work. This is where I share my actual process, the reality of paid trials, and the stories behind the brides I have prepped.
Do you want a trial? Please watch this. I explain why a full bridal trial is a chargeable service. It's not just a bit of lipstick; it's about creating a complete look, and that requires time, effort, and products.
I was shocked to hear my model's story about being turned away by another artist for her dusky skin. This is unacceptable. At my studio, we celebrate diversity and have the skills to work with every skin tone.
This is a very personal video for me, where I created my own bridal look. I started my career at 35, and this journey has been my passion. This look is for all the women out there who have a dream; it’s never too late to chase it.
A personal story about why I've stopped giving complimentary makeups. My work is my passion, and this experience taught me to value my art and time.
A special tip for all brides-to-be! This video shares some of my secrets, from how to protect your nails during the haldi ceremony to a lace trick for a royal look.
A rare moment where the photographer captured me in action. I'm usually behind the camera, but it's nice to have these candid shots with my beautiful bride.
A fun black and white shot of me and the bride. These are the moments that make my job so rewarding.
Applying blush to add that perfect flush of colour. This is one of my favourite steps in the makeup process.

About Behind the Scenes: My Stories & Process
A lot of brides ask for free trials, but a trial is a full-scale rehearsal. I recreate your entire wedding look, including jewelry and hair, so you know exactly what to expect. This takes time, products, and effort, which is why my trials are a paid, dedicated service. It is the only way to ensure your D-Day look is perfect, not a guess.
When you book me as your makeup artist, you are getting more than just foundation and concealer. You are getting my years of experience, a rigorous process, and a commitment to your unique beauty. My studio in Sunder Vihar is a space where I work on all skin tones—from fair to deep melanin—and I prioritize techniques that enhance your natural features rather than hiding them under heavy, cakey layers.
My approach to weddings is rooted in transparency. I do not offer complimentary makeup for family members because my work is my art, and every person sitting in my chair deserves my full focus and quality products. Whether it is an HD wedding look or an airbrush finish, I use the best international brands and stay with you until the final look is pinned and set.
Beyond bridal makeup, I am deeply passionate about mentoring. My academy is my second home where I train the next generation of MUAs. If you are an aspiring artist or a bride-to-be looking for a professional who is honest, skilled, and actually cares about the end result, you are in the right place. Let’s connect and create a look that feels like you.
