About Featured
Achieving that radiant finish isn't just about the foundation; it starts with a 15-minute skin prep ritual I perform for every client. I focus on neutralizing pigmentation and intense hydration, ensuring the base looks like skin rather than a mask, even under harsh stage lights or flash photography.
My process is deeply collaborative. Whether you want a 'Sitara' cocktail look or a soft, minimal engagement style, we start with a conversation about your outfit and the event's lighting. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all makeup; I customize every element to match your features.
My Approach to Glamour
For brides and event clients, I prioritize a full-body glow. This means using high-end products like Charlotte Tilbury and NARS to ensure your collarbones and shoulders catch the light just as much as your cheekbones. My 'Khushnuma' look, for instance, balances a bold pop of color with a breathable, dewy base that lasts through long ceremonies.
Specialized Techniques
- Mature Skin: I skip heavy, matte textures that can settle into fine lines. Instead, I use cream-based products that hydrate and blur, keeping the finish luminous rather than flat.
- Long-Wear: Using techniques like strategic powdering and setting sprays, I ensure your makeup stays put through humidity and dancing without losing its fresh look.
- Editorial Inspiration: If you have a specific celebrity or editorial look in mind, we can adapt those trends to suit your face shape while maintaining a timeless quality.
Travel and Logistics
I am based in Mumbai, but my kit and I are always ready to travel.
