For these events, I focus on a specific 'glass skin' layering technique. It isn't just about high-shine products, it is about prepping the skin so that the foundation grips perfectly and stays fresh even when the party hits its peak hours. For cocktail and reception looks, I move away from the heavy, traditional styles and focus on modern elegance. My goal is to make you look radiant, not masked. **The Signature Glass Skin Approach** I use a drench-in-dew method that creates a luminous finish. This style works exceptionally well for evening functions because it catches the light beautifully, whether you are in a ballroom or an outdoor venue. I balance this glow with soft, peachy tones on the eyes and neutral or nude lips, ensuring the focus remains on your natural features. **Built for Longevity** Because reception makeup needs to withstand hours of dancing and socializing, I don't compromise on durability. I use a multi-step base architecture: precise color correction, long-wear foundation, and targeted powder setting only where it is needed. This keeps the look 'glassy' while ensuring the T-zone doesn't break down. **Customized for Your Vibe** Whether you are wearing a gown or an embellished lehenga, the makeup must complement the outfit. If your dress is heavy, I keep the eyes softer with subtle shimmer. If your outfit is minimalist, I might lean into a more defined eye look. My priority is always to blend every transition so that there are no harsh lines, just a smooth, high-end finish that looks flawless in photos and in person. ## About Shristi Chomal Hi, I am Shristi.
