About My Process & Tips for You
Before we start any look, I always sit down with you to talk about your vision. Whether it is a soft, dewy engagement glam or a bold, classic reception look, I really value that 'kaisa chahiye aapko look?' conversation. Your makeup needs to reflect you, not just the latest trend, so we will always sync on your style preferences before the first brush touches your skin.
Choosing the right makeup artist involves more than just liking an Instagram photo. It is about trust and communication. Here is how I approach every booking:
Finding Your Perfect Look
When you are browsing, do not just look for specific keywords. Look for consistency in raw photos and videos because that is the real deal. During our consultation, we will discuss your skin type, your outfit, and the venue lighting, which I always factor in. If you have a specific reference image, share it. It helps me understand if you love the eyes, the base, or the lip color in that picture, so we can replicate that vibe for you.
Prep and Practical Tips
- Skin Health: I can enhance your glow, but miracles start with hydration. Stick to a simple routine in the weeks leading up to your date.
- Stay Off the Phone: It sounds minor, but using your phone during your makeup session is a big distraction. It slows down the process, and when you are in a rush, distractions are the last thing you need.
- Lighting Matters: Whether you are getting ready in a Delhi hotel or a destination venue, I always carry my own lighting kit. Good lighting ensures the foundation matches your skin perfectly and the colors pop exactly as they should.
Ultimately, my goal is to make sure you look in the mirror and smile. That moment when you are ready and feel like yourself, just more radiant, is exactly why I do this.
