About Behind The Scenes
People often ask what happens in the chair before the final glow-up. It is not just about applying foundation. We start with skin analysis, testing how products behave under different lighting, and building a base that actually survives the Delhi humidity. When you see me adjusting a necklace or checking a liner wing in a mirror, that is the reality of a wedding day—it is focused, detailed work, not just magic.
I love sharing these candid moments because they show the reality of my work. My studio in DLF Phase-2 is not a factory; it is where we sit down and figure out what makes you feel like yourself. Whether I am doing bridal makeup for a destination wedding or a quick party glam, the process remains the same: meticulous skin prep, colour correction to handle flash photography, and a lot of communication.
I use a mix of high-end brands like Charlotte Tilbury and NARS alongside viral drugstore favorites because the brand matters less than the technique. You will see me in these clips fussing over dupattas and hairpins because a great makeup artist knows the look only works if you are comfortable. From my first vlog to these client GRWM reels, my goal is to peel back the curtain so you know exactly who you are inviting into your personal space on your big day.
Why the process matters
- Skin-First Approach: Before any pigment touches your skin, I perform a 5-minute assessment to tailor the prep to your texture.
- Lighting Checks: We test your makeup in natural and indoor light so you do not look washed out or cakey.
- Teamwork: My process is collaborative. Whether it is fixing a nath or securing a double dupatta, I am there to ensure the entire styling, not just the face, is set perfectly.
If you have been worried about the "heavy" feel of wedding makeup, look through these behind-the-scenes shots. You will see my focus is always on lightweight, breathable applications that last through the pheras and the vidai.
