Whether it is a traditional pooja or a long sangeet, I do not just apply makeup; I structure it using pore-filling primers and specific setting sprays to lock the look for 6+ hours. This ensures that even if you are rushing between venues, your base stays matte, fresh, and perfectly HD-ready without feeling heavy. I believe traditional artistry is about balancing the 'heavy' elements—like Polki jewellery or intricate sarees—with makeup that highlights your features rather than hiding them. My approach to festive makeup is grounded in my HD philosophy: it must look flawless under professional photography strobes while appearing natural in person. ### Why my approach works for Indian skin: * **Custom Base Prep:** I focus on CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing) tailored to your skin type before we start. This is the secret to making sure the foundation doesn't cake up when you're out in the Mumbai heat. * **Camera-Ready Techniques:** I use cream-based contouring and high-resolution products like Nars and Huda Beauty to ensure you look sharp for every candid photo and video. * **Hair That Stays:** Traditional looks often require heavy earrings or Maang Tikkas. I secure your hair accessories and styles—whether it’s a floral bun or textured waves—so you don’t have to worry about anything slipping during the celebration. I love working on varied themes, from the royal bride aesthetic to the soft, fresh glow needed for a Diwali party. If you are planning a destination wedding or a series of festive events, we can plan the look changes in advance. I carry my professional kit, including portable lighting for poorly lit vanity areas, so you get the same quality of work whether you are at home, a hotel, or a venue. ## About Nikita Dave I’m Nikita, a Mumbai-based makeup artist who believes the best glow comes from feeling confident in your own skin.
