This is a look into my process, from professional academy training to the real world sets where I create everything from soft glam to editorial looks. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This video tells my story of leaving law to pursue makeup, all while creating a beautiful Christian bridal look.

Whether you see me on a commercial shoot or at a wedding, I use the exact same logic: prep the canvas first so the look lasts through every camera flash and event change. Three years ago, I walked away from a law career to pick up brushes. There were taunts and plenty of arguments at home, but looking back, it was the right call. My training under industry experts taught me that makeup is not just about layering products, it is about geometry, skin health, and understanding lighting. Every project I take on, whether it is a high fashion shoot or a wedding event, follows a strict protocol. I analyze the skin type first, selecting the right primer and serum to create a hydrated base. For my editorial work, I focus on specific textures and elements that pop under studio lights, while my bridal process prioritizes longevity. I am Delhi based, but my kit travels everywhere. Whether it is correcting beard shadows for a groom on a podcast or creating a full coverage Christian bridal look, I use long wear products to ensure everything stays in place. I do not just show up to apply makeup, I provide a full grooming service, including hair styling and draping assistance. If you want to see how I work in real time or need a look that actually lasts through the day, let us talk. ## About Piyush Vij I am Piyush. Three years ago, I left law for makeup brushes and never looked back. I take pride in my work, making every client feel confident, whether it is for a wedding or a commercial shoot.
