Behind the Scenes at Gauri Kakas Studio
Get a sneak peek into my creative process and Gurgaon studio. From quick get-ready-with-me transitions to the secrets behind my signature glow, this is where the magic happens.
Welcome to my new studio and academy. I am so excited to have designed a space that feels luxurious and inspiring for both my clients and my students.
Creating the perfect holiday eye makeup. A quick tutorial on how to achieve a dramatic and festive look using a simple eyeshadow palette.
This is how I do my minimal "Clean Girl" glam. It's all about a lifted effect, glossy lips, and a natural, healthy-looking blush.
A quick and easy natural makeup look for Rakhi. This is perfect for a festive day when you want to look polished but not overdone.
Trying out the viral cherry cola lips trend. I love experimenting with new trends and showing you how to achieve them.
A quick "Get Ready With Me" video. Here I am putting together a chic party look with a classic white outfit and statement jewelry.
Creating a divine glow for a client's special celebration. This party glam look was for her Ladoo Gopal's birthday, a truly joyous occasion.
A sun-kissed beauty with a touch of pink perfection. A lovely behind-the-scenes moment with my bride Shreeya.
A fun little video playing with a point-of-view trend. My goal is always to create eyes that steal your attention.
This peachy nude lip shade has been my absolute favorite for so many of my brides. It's the perfect color to complement both soft and bold eye looks.
About Behind the Scenes
My approach to makeup is all about the process—prep, texture, and precision. In these videos, you will see exactly how I treat real skin to ensure that dewy, long-lasting finish without using heavy layers. Whether it is a studio tour in Sector 67 or a quick eye makeup hack, my goal is to show you that a great look comes from proper technique, not just thick foundation.
I built my studio in Gurgaon to be more than just a place to sit in a chair. It is an experience. Whether you are coming in for a bridal consultation or joining me for a makeup masterclass, this space is designed for comfort and creativity.
The Real Process
Many people think makeup is just about the final transformation, but the reality is in the prep. I focus on high-grade hydration-focused CTM routines to ensure that the makeup sits perfectly on your skin. When you watch these clips, you will notice that I avoid heavy baking, opting instead for a blend of cream contouring and light, airy finishes that look just as good in daylight as they do under ballroom lights.
Why No Gatekeeping?
As an educator, I am passionate about sharing what I know. That is why you will see snippets of my masterclass demos here. I believe that understanding the 'why' behind a specific eye makeup technique—like using the right pigment for a cut-crease or how to place glitter for maximum impact—is how you develop your own style.
