When I am on set, my focus is equally on maintaining a seamless environment and ensuring the makeup withstands studio lighting, heat, and hours of movement so you can focus entirely on the shoot. My approach to makeup has always been about combining technical precision with a relaxed, drama-free experience. Whether I am working on a destination wedding in Abu Dhabi or a rapid-fire studio shoot in Mumbai, the foundation of my work remains the same: a focus on skin health and longevity. I utilize a 'Layer, Set, Seal' technique, using luxury foundations from brands like NARS and Giorgio Armani, specifically designed to prevent flashback under intense camera flashes. For celebrity events like the YouTube Fanfest, where the schedule is tight and the visibility is high, I rely on prep routines that include 20 minutes of hydration and depuffing to ensure the base looks flawless in high-definition. Beyond the products, my job is to be a steady presence on set. I coordinate directly with hairstylists and drapers to ensure your entire look is cohesive, while I manage the technical aspects of your makeup. If you are looking for an artist who treats your event with the same care as a high-fashion editorial, let's connect and discuss what look will best suit your event. ## About Glam by Pallavi I am Pallavi, a Mumbai-based makeup artist who believes your glam should feel like you, not a costume. I have spent over a decade making sure brides and celebs feel like the best versions of themselves, whether that is a soft glam look or something bold. I keep the chair vibes light, professional, and completely stress-free.
