My Essential Prep & Glow Rituals

Most people focus on the face, but my secret for that red carpet look is actually how I prep the décolletage and hair. For hair, I skip the extreme heat and use velcro rollers with a serum like Moroccanoil to keep the bounce all day. It is those small, intentional details that make the final makeup look so much more expensive, sachhi.

My 'Glazed Donut' Nighttime Ritual

If you are not going to bed looking like a glazed donut, what are you even doing? Good skincare isn't about having a thousand products; it is about kyun (the why) behind your routine. I always start by melting off the day with a cleansing balm, followed by a double cleanse to ensure the pores are clear. I love using Niacinamide for that glow, and I swear by vegan mucin for deep hydration without the stickiness. If you have puffy eyes, do not skip the eye patches—they are a total game changer.

Hair That Stays Bouncy

Who says polished hair has to take forever? When I am on a shoot or traveling, I rely on my Dyson Airwrap and velcro rollers. The trick is to apply a lightweight heat protectant, use the Airwrap for structure, and then immediately pin the curls with velcro rollers to let them cool. This simple step creates that effortless, bouncy blowout look that lasts. I finish with just a tiny drop of Moroccanoil serum for that luminous shine.

The Décolletage Glow

When I am styling a bride for an off-shoulder or low-neckline outfit, I never leave the skin dry. It is all about layering. I start with a body oil, layer a shimmer body butter, and finish with a shimmer spray. It gives the skin a radiant, healthy look that catches the light in photos perfectly. You can try this at home with any shimmer products you have—it really adds that 'oomph' factor.
