About Behind the Brush: Tutorials & Tips
You don't need a heavy layer of foundation to get that flawless finish; it is all about how you prep the canvas. If you are struggling with makeup melting off or looking patchy, my go-to trick is focusing on a 5-minute massage during your CTM routine to wake up the skin, which makes all the difference before we even touch a brush.
Behind the Scenes of an NBI Look
I always say, makeup is not just about the products; it is about technique. Whether you are prepping for a Roka or just want to up your party game, here is how I break it down.
The Skin Prep Essentials
My brides often ask why their makeup lasts through Sangeet dances while others struggle. The secret is hydration. I never skip the under-eye patches and a good hydration mask. If you have dry skin, that 5-minute massage with your serum is a game changer. It gets the blood flowing and makes the foundation sit like second skin.
Mastering the Eyes
People get intimidated by glitter, but blending is everything. If you are trying a pink and purple combo like in my tutorials, the key is the transition shade. Use a fluffy brush to blend the edges until there are no harsh lines. If you are a beginner, start with matte shades and add a pop of glitter in the center of the lid. It gives that 'oomph' without being messy.
Lip Artistry
With or without gloss? It is the most common question in my DM's. Gloss adds that youthful, juicy vibe, but if you want long-stay, stick to matte. I love mixing two shades to create a custom nude that actually complements your undertone, not just the outfit.
Why Professional Guidance Matters
While these DIY tips are great for daily wear, bridal makeup requires heavy-duty products that are sweat-resistant. My signature HD base is designed to survive heavy studio lights and long hours without needing touch-ups. If you are getting married soon and want to learn how to handle your own touch-ups, feel free to ask me during your consultation. I am based in Civil Lines, Ludhiana, but I travel across India to help you slay your big day.
