I believe in complete transparency about how I work. Here is a look at the techniques I use to ensure your makeup remains comfortable, sweat-proof, and flawless.

A simple needle and black thread can be a lifesaver. I use this technique to stitch the maatha patti into the hair for a secure, pain-free fit that lasts all day without any visible pins.

This is what I mean by transfer-proof makeup. I tested this look with a tissue to show my student how a good setting spray, like this one from Recode, can lock everything in place.

If your makeup gets removed from your nose or upper lip due to sweat, this video is for you. I share my top three tips: icing, a mattifying primer, and a matte foundation to control sweat and oil.

If your under-eyes look dark after finishing your makeup, a compact powder is your best friend. I show how pressing a tinted compact powder can instantly brighten the area.

You can't use the same brush for highlighting every part of the face. I demonstrate which brushes to use for the cheekbones, nose, and brow bone for a precise and blended glow.

About My Makeup Techniques & Pro Tips

People often ask how I keep a Maatha Patti in place without it sliding or hurting the bride. I don't use heavy pins that pinch—I use a simple needle and black thread to stitch it directly into the hair. It sounds intense, but it is completely pain-free, secure for the entire wedding, and invisible in photos.
