About Behind the Brush
You won't find me rushing through the base application, because that is where the magic starts. Whether it is a dewy glass skin look or a long-lasting matte finish, I prioritize deep skin prep with the right serums and hydration for your specific skin type before even touching the foundation. This ensures your makeup stays fresh and breathable, not cakey, throughout your event.
When you sit in my chair, the first thing we talk about is not the 'look,' but the condition of your skin. Bangalore's humidity is real, and the only way to beat it without heavy, suffocating layers is proper preparation. I use a mix of high-end products like NARS, Estée Lauder, and MAC to ensure the base is water-resistant and comfortable for 8+ hours.
My studio in Jayamahal is my creative space, but I also travel to your venue if that makes your day easier. I don't believe in forcing dramatic looks if they don't feel like you. If you want a soft, peachy glow for a pooja or sizzling smoky eyes for a reception, we work together to get the balance right.
I treat my kit like a treasure chest. From the specific under-eye patches I use to minimize puffiness to the way I set individual lashes, every step has a purpose. My goal is to make sure you look in the mirror and feel like the most confident version of yourself. If you are curious about which products will suit your specific skin tone or how to manage your hairstyle throughout the event, we can discuss all of that during our initial chat.
