My Personal Glam Looks and Styling Experiments
Think of this as my makeup playground. These are the styles I test on myself before bringing them to your shoots, ranging from soft everyday glow to dramatic editorial glam.
A quick transformation video showing how I create one of my favorite dramatic glam looks. It starts with a bare face and shows the step-by-step process to achieve a bold, sculpted look with a graphic eyeliner.
A full view of my personal glam look. I love a strong eye, so I've created a sharp, graphic winged liner paired with a blended smokey shadow and a matte mauve lip.

With eyes closed, you can see the full effect of the shimmery eyeshadow and the dramatic winged liner. This is a great look for an evening event or a party.
It's been a while, but I love doing these transformation reels. This video shows a before and after of a soft glam look with a pop of lavender on the eyes and a glossy nude lip.
This is a selfie showing a bold and confident makeup look. I've paired a strong, smokey cat-eye with a defined brow and a warm-toned lip, perfect for a night out.
A softer, more natural makeup look I created on myself. This features a simple smokey eye with my natural curls, showing a more relaxed and everyday version of my style.
About My Personal Glam Looks
The reason I practice these bold and dramatic techniques on myself is to understand exactly how product textures behave under different lighting. When I use a graphic liner or a heavy shimmer on my own face, I am testing the longevity and wearability, so when I am on set with you, I know exactly what to expect from the pigments.
Every look you see here is a result of me pushing my own boundaries. When I do makeup for a 10-hour shoot or a high-intensity red carpet event, I cannot afford for the look to slide or crack. By wearing these styles myself, I learn how to manage factors like Mumbai's humidity or the intense heat from studio lights.
My personal glam isn't just about what looks pretty on the grid. It is about checking if the skin stays breathable despite layering, or how a specific matte mauve lip holds up after a full day of movement. I use high-end brands like Dior and Makeup Forever, and these experiments help me understand the exact ratios needed to create that 'second skin' finish you often see in my editorial work.
Whether it is the sharp precision of a cat-eye or the careful blending required for a smokey eye, I treat my own face as a live lab. This means that when you book me for your next look, you aren't just getting someone who knows theory. You are getting someone who has worn the products, tested the technique, and knows exactly how to make it last for you.
