About The Piyush Experience: Behind the Scenes
When you book me, you are getting more than just a makeup artist. You are getting someone who spent years mastering the art of the perfect base, training under industry leaders like Bhumika Bahl and Leena Bhushan. My process is transparent. We start with premium skin prep like Embryolisse or MAC strobe cream to create that signature glass-skin glow, and I do not rely on heavy filters. What you see during the process is exactly what you get in the final result.
Transitioning from a law degree to professional makeup artistry was a journey of following my passion despite the noise. Today, that drive is exactly what I bring to your wedding day. When you look at my behind-the-scenes work, you see continuous learning. I am constantly updating my techniques with masterclasses, whether it is advanced hairstyling or new contouring methods that sculpt the face without looking cakey.
Being the makeup guy in the family means my hands are always busy. From my mom, who first taught me the basics, to my aunts and cousins at weddings, I have practiced on everyone. This has taught me how to handle different skin types, from mature skin needing hydration to younger skin looking for a vibrant, festive glow.
I believe makeup is not about hiding who you are. It is about feeling powerful. My clients often ask why I focus so much on the prep work. The secret is that the longevity of your makeup depends entirely on how we treat your skin before the foundation goes on. That is why I invest time in setting the base right, using quality products that hold up against sweat and heat, especially for our long Indian wedding ceremonies. Whether it is a quiet, intimate shoot or a massive, chaotic family wedding, the goal remains the same: I want you to feel like the best version of yourself, completely unedited.
