My Artistic Style and Creative Inspiration
Makeup is how I share my perspective on beauty. From my travel diaries to the stories behind every face I touch, here is the artistic philosophy that guides my brush.
Festive vibes, wrapped with love. This Diwali felt extra special because my beautiful outfit was a gift from my ex-colleague’s own boutique. Nothing is better than celebrating the season of light while supporting those who shine the brightest.
Bonjour, mon amour. A little moment from my Paris trip, standing by the Seine with the Eiffel Tower at night. Living in my element is always going to be my thing for life.
Boss lady you are, Tina Ahuja. I have always been a huge fan of Govinda, and getting the chance to work with his daughter was a surreal experience. She embodies her father's joyful spirit and vibrant energy.
A little transition alert. Just having some fun with makeup and showing off a festive look.
Because my Gujju husband deserves to see me in a Gujju outfit before 2024 ends. Here is a get ready with me video for a family get-together.
A moment of reflection in Paris. This city inspires me so much, and I am always living in my element when I am surrounded by art and beauty.
Another shot from my Paris diaries. The classic red lip and lace gloves felt just right for the city of love.
About this collection
I don't follow trends blindly because I believe no two faces are identical. My approach is rooted in careful skin prep, using hydrating products like Embryolisse to ensure your makeup feels like a second skin, not a mask. Whether it is a traditional Maharashtrian look or a modern reception style, I focus on highlighting your natural features rather than covering them up.
My artistry is shaped by the lessons from over 2,500 weddings. I have learned that the secret to a great look isn't just in the expensive palette; it is in the connection I build with the person in my chair. When I am not working on a bride, you will often find me experimenting with bold, artistic looks—like a smoky eye paired with a simple bindi or fresh, glowing skin for a studio shoot.
My philosophy is simple: makeup should be 'shringaar' in the truest sense—an adornment that makes you feel powerful.
My Approach to Your Look
- Skin-First Philosophy: I am obsessed with skin health. Your makeup stays fresh for hours because I prioritize CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing) before a single drop of foundation touches your skin.
- No Cookie-Cutter Styles: You will never see me using the same template for every client. We start every session with a conversation about what makes you feel comfortable, ensuring your final look is uniquely yours.
- Versatility: My experience spans from authentic traditional Maharashtrian ceremonies to editorial-style shoots in Mumbai and destination weddings across India. Whether you need a subtle, no-makeup look for a maternity session or a glamorous reception style, I adapt my technique to the lighting, the occasion, and, most importantly, your personality.
