Inside My Professional Makeup Kit
I do not believe in heavy layers that mask your face. My kit features luxury essentials like Chanel, Dior, and Huda Beauty, selected for one reason: they make your makeup feel weightless, look skin-like, and stay fresh for hours.
These are the luxury products that are unfortunately worth every penny. As a bridal artist who has tried it all, I only carry the best for my clients.
The Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation is a holy grail for a reason. It provides a natural, luminous finish and long-lasting hydration for that perfect skin-like glow.
For buildable coverage with a radiant soft-matte finish, I love the Valentino Very Valentino foundation. It also offers SPF 25 sun protection.
The Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer is a must-have. This weightless, full-coverage, and waterproof liquid concealer helps create a flawless and bright under-eye.
To get that natural, sun-kissed look, I use the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream. This lightweight cream-gel bronzer blends into the skin seamlessly.
My favorite setting powder is the Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish. It is known for blurring imperfections and reducing shine, giving a soft-matte finish without looking cakey.
A flat lay of some of my most-used makeup products from 2025. These are the tried-and-true heroes that help me create my signature glowing looks.
For this Haldi glow, the prep starts here. I use the Protouch Skin Lift device for a sculpted look, Tarte Shape Tape to brighten, and Dior Backstage foundation for a lit-from-within dew.
The eyes tell the tale. For this look, I used a mix of Huda Beauty's Nude and Matte Obsessions palettes and finished with Lancome Lash Idole mascara for voluminous lashes.
To add the perfect flush, I used Sheglam liquid blush and the Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette on the high points. I set it all with Laura Mercier powder in the T-zone.
About Inside My Pro Kit
The right foundation makes all the difference in a humid climate like Mumbai. I often use the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Foundation because it provides lasting hydration and a luminous finish, ensuring your skin looks radiant rather than flat or powdery in photos.
Building a kit is a continuous process of testing. I do not just grab the most expensive products; I choose items that hold up under studio lights, humidity, and the long hours of a wedding celebration.
Why Product Quality Matters
For a soft glam look, the texture of the product is everything. I prefer Valentino and Dior foundations for their buildable coverage that remains breathable. When I prep your skin with a vibrating tool and a sheet mask, I am setting the stage for these luxury formulas to sit perfectly, avoiding any patchiness.
The Essentials in My Vanity
- Base & Complexion: I keep a mix of Chanel Les Beiges and NARS light-reflecting products to give you that lit-from-within glow. For concealing, the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush concealer helps me brighten your under-eyes without creasing.
- Eyes & Details: Huda Beauty palettes are my go-to for their pigment and blendability. I rely on Lancome Lash Idole to lift and separate your lashes, which frames your eyes without feeling heavy.
- Setting the Look: No makeup is complete without the right setting. The Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish powder is my secret weapon for blurring imperfections in the T-zone while keeping the skin looking natural.
My approach is simple: use products that complement your natural beauty. Whether we are doing a dewy Haldi look or a high-glam reception style, these items are tested to ensure you feel confident from the first event to the final goodbye.
