Behind the Scenes: My Makeup Process

A fun little chat session with my bride. She wanted a classic, timeless, and subtle look. Hearing her say "this is better than what I wanted" is the best feeling an artist can ask for.

About this collection
People often ask how I get that base to look so fresh and dewy without being heavy. The secret starts long before the foundation, in the 'skin prep' phase. Before any product touches your face, I focus on a full cleansing, toning, and moisturizing routine using hydrating creams. This is what makes your makeup feel like skin, even after hours under hot stage lights.
My process is built on one simple rule: no two faces are the same, so no two makeup looks should be identical. When we work together, the first thing I do is listen to what you want for your big day. Whether you are aiming for a classic Maharashtrian look with a traditional nath or a soft glam reception vibe, I study your features first.
The Art of Skin Prep
I am a bit obsessed with skin health. I use high-quality, hydrating products like Embryolisse for a flawless canvas. It is non-cakey and keeps your makeup locked in place, whether it is a humid outdoor shoot or a long indoor wedding ceremony.
Customization for Every Bride
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter makeup.
- For Traditional Brides: I focus on highlighting your heritage, using rich color palettes and classic styles that respect your traditions.
- For Modern Events: I love playing with soft glam, neutral cut-creases, and shimmery accents that catch the light.
Beyond the makeup chair, I am there to help with draping heavy Lehengas or sarees and ensuring your jewelry is set perfectly. My goal is to make sure you feel like yourself, just a little more radiant. I am based in Mumbai but I travel across India for weddings. If you have sensitive skin or specific worries, let me know when we chat. I will make sure the products I use keep you comfortable from start to finish.
