About My Pro-Tips & Techniques
A truly great makeup look does not start with foundation, it starts with how you prep. I spend as much time on your skin health as I do on the color application because that is what makes your makeup sit perfectly, not just look painted on. If you are curious about how I keep a base sweat-resistant for a long sangeet night or how I pick the right undertone for your skin type, let's talk about the routine that will work for you.
What I Keep in My Vanity
Luxury makeup is about reliability. My kit is built around products that perform under pressure, whether you are dancing at a Sangeet in Mumbai or dealing with the humidity of a destination wedding. I trust foundations like NARS for their weightless feel, and I swear by Charlotte Tilbury’s setting sprays to lock everything in. I also lean on the Dior Backstage highlighter palette for that specific, radiant skin finish that photographs beautifully without ever looking greasy.
Three Things I Never Rush
There are parts of the process where speed is the enemy of quality. I always take my time with these three steps:
- Brows: These frame your entire face. I carefully shape and define them to bring balance to your features, which creates a much more polished look than a heavy fill.
- Eyeliner: Whether you want a timeless wing or something soft and smudged, precision matters. This is where I define the mood of your look, so I work slowly to ensure it is symmetrical and suits your eye shape.
- Lips: The perfect pout requires definition, layering, and careful blotting. I ensure your lipstick is applied to last through meals, champagne, and hours of celebration.
The Importance of Skin Prep
I always tell my brides that makeup is only as good as the canvas beneath it. Hydration is key. Start your skincare routine early, prioritize drinking water, and talk to me about your skin type during our consultation. When your skin is healthy and prepped, you need less product, which means your makeup feels comfortable and looks more like your own skin, just a bit more polished.

When we work together, it is about creating a look that feels just as good at the end of the night as it did when I first applied it.
