Before I touch a brush, I spend time on a dedicated prep protocol to ensure your glow lasts through the tears, the dance, and the long wedding hours. ## Photos and videos - [Video: Dry skin?

The truth is, if your skin isn't hydrated and balanced, no amount of foundation can hide it. Whether you have oily, acne-prone, or dry skin, my job is to build a healthy canvas first, so the makeup looks like *you*, not a mask. ### Why I Never Skip Skin Prep Many people think makeup is just about the pigment, but for me, it starts long before that. I treat every face as a unique canvas. If you have dry skin, I don’t just layer on product; I layer on deep hydration with rich moisturizers and primers. If you have textured skin, I use specific foundation brushes rather than beauty blenders to ensure the product deposits into pores for a smooth, airbrushed finish. ### The 'Jaanvi' Protocol When I work with a bride, especially in the humidity of Delhi, I don't rush. My signature 30-minute protocol includes: * **Deep Hydration:** Custom serums and primers based on your skin type. * **Face Massage:** I often perform a gentle massage after eye makeup. It’s not just relaxing; it helps depuff, stimulates blood flow, and helps the skincare absorb better, leaving you with a natural glow. * **Targeted Correction:** Whether it’s color-correcting pigmentation or using non-comedogenic products for acne-prone skin, I focus on the details that make the makeup 'cry-proof' and sweat-resistant. ### Why This Matters for You By the time we move to foundation and blush, your skin is already prepped to hold the product for 12+ hours. You won't feel cakey, and you won't need constant touch-ups. When you sit in my chair, you can trust that I am looking at your skin health as much as your final look. If you are worried about how your skin will handle a full day of makeup, let’s chat about your routine during your consultation. ## About Jaanvi Kaur Hi, I’m Jaanvi.
