About My Makeup Tips & Tricks
A flawless base is never just about the foundation you choose. It is about how you treat your skin before the makeup even touches it. I always start with a strict five-step preparation—cleansing, toning, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen. If you are struggling with patchy makeup, it is usually because this hydration layer was skipped, not because of the product itself.
Understanding Your Skin
Many people think makeup is just about the pigment on top, but the real magic happens underneath. Whether you are prepping for a bridal look or a party, healthy skin is the priority. I always guide my clients to prioritize hydration. Without this five-step prep, even the most expensive foundations will look cakey or separate after a few hours.
Simple Makeup Etiquette
If you want your artist to deliver their best work, you have a role to play too. These might sound like small things, but they make a massive difference:
- Restrict movement: It sounds simple, but chatting while I am working makes precision difficult.
- Hands off: Resist the urge to touch your face. Oils from your hands can ruin the setting and longevity of the base.
- Snack choices: Avoid food that requires you to stretch your mouth wide, like burgers. Stick to easy bites.
- Dab, don't drag: If you sweat, use a tissue to gently dab the area. Dragging wipes away the product.
Technique Over Trend
I often get asked about the difference between 'simple' and 'heavy' makeup. The reality is that they often take the same amount of time and effort; the technique is just different. I focus on dewy, glowing finishes rather than heavy baking, which can often look dry and emphasize skin texture. If you are in Bangalore and want to learn how to achieve these results yourself, I host hands-on makeup classes where we cover everything from base application to setting techniques, providing all products so you can learn without the guesswork.
