Understanding whether a technique serves a functional purpose, like preventing creasing, or purely an aesthetic one, like creating a halo effect, is the first step toward mastering your own makeup application. ### Beyond the Buzzwords Makeup has a reputation for being complicated, filled with terms that sound intimidating. In my studio in Nerul, we do not do gatekeeping. We focus on the why behind every brush stroke. **Common Techniques Decoded:** * **Baking:** Essential for oily skin types or long-wear bridal looks. It sets your concealer firmly, ensuring it stays smooth without creasing into fine lines. * **Halo Eyes:** A classic technique that uses light and shadow to round out the eye, making it a perfect choice for clients who want to create a more open, awakened look. * **Glass Skin:** This is less about product and more about skin prep. It requires consistent hydration and lightweight layering to achieve that lit-from-within glow. ### Why the Theory Matters If you are looking to turn your passion into a career, knowing the vocabulary is only the beginning. My workshops move past these definitions into hands-on practice. We cover everything from color theory to skin science, ensuring you are not just copying a trend but understanding the logic that makes a look work for different face shapes and skin tones. Whether you are a total beginner or an artist looking to refine your technique, we build your foundation from the ground up. ## About Neeha Gada I am Neeha.
