About Behind the Scenes: The Making of the Look
I always start with a skin analysis and a thorough CTM routine using Embryolisse, regardless of the event. This ensures your HD foundation doesn't just sit on top but settles naturally into your skin. I want you to look in the mirror and see yourself, just a polished, glowy version that lasts all through your celebration.
The beauty of a 'no-filter' look is in the preparation. Whether you are a bride prepping for your Roka or getting ready for a Sangeet, my process is designed to be transparent. I don't believe in heavy, cakey layers that disappear the moment you step out of the light. Instead, I use techniques that focus on skin health.
I love working with products from Nars, Huda Beauty, and Dior because they offer a buildable formula. I show these processes—applying lashes, fixing hair, or defining lips—because I want you to know exactly how your look is built. When I apply my signature 'The Eye Box' lashes, it isn't just an add-on; it is the final detail that opens up your eyes and balances the entire face.
If you are worried about how makeup translates in photos, rest assured that my work is built for the camera. My goal is to make you look consistent in real life and in your wedding photos. From my studio in Mumbai, I travel for clients across India, whether it's a destination wedding in Jaipur or a local reception in the city. If you have questions about which products will work for your specific skin type, or if you need to know how I manage heavy jewelry setting and structural hair, let's chat.
