Whether it is deep hydration for glass skin or a precise cleanse and tone, I build a healthy base first so your makeup stays fresh all day without needing thick, cakey layers. ### My Approach to Transformation Makeup should feel like you, not a mask. I do not believe in heavy filters or drastic editing. When you look at my transformation videos, you are seeing the result of a collaborative process where we figure out what makes you feel the most confident. ### The Anatomy of the Look Every session, whether for a quick party glam or a full bridal engagement, follows a strict technical order: * **Skin Prep:** This is non-negotiable. I use products suited to your skin type to ensure the base is hydrated and ready. For party looks, I focus on standard moisturization, while engagement and bridal looks get a mini-facial treatment with high-end serums and sheet masks. * **The Base:** I use medium to full-coverage products, but I apply them strategically to let your natural skin texture show through. The goal is to look polished, not covered. * **Artistry:** Whether you want a soft glam look with neutral tones or a dramatic cut-crease with glitter, I build the intensity slowly to ensure it looks balanced in real-time, not just on camera. ### Common Questions **Do you handle hair too?** Yes. I offer standard heat styling like blowouts and soft curls, as well as more intricate updos and braids for special occasions. **Can you travel for my event?** I am based in Mumbai but travel across India for weddings and photoshoots. Let me know your venue, and we can discuss logistics. **What products do you use?** I rely on industry standards like MAC, NARS, Huda Beauty, and Rare Beauty. I choose products based on longevity and how they perform under event lighting. ## About Hiloni Parikh Hi, I am Hiloni.
