About Makeup Education & Training
I genuinely believe great makeup starts with understanding your skin. If your base isn’t sorted, kuch bhi kar lo, kuch jamta nahi (no matter what you do, it just doesn’t work). For me, it’s never about the brand—technique is everything. I focus a lot on levels of hydration and real skin prep, not just slapping on foundation.
What I Offer
- Personalised makeup lessons for anyone wanting to feel confident doing their own face, or those looking to step up professionally.
- Two clear paths:
- Personal grooming (one-on-one, focused on your skin type, features, and routine—everything built around you).
- Professional masterclasses (for aspiring artists who want real skin makeup techniques, not just YouTube trends).
How We Learn
- Practical, hands-on sessions, either at my Delhi studio or online.
- Use my pro kit before investing in your own (don’t go and buy everything at once, trust me).
- I break down the difference between daily skincare and makeup skin prep.
- If you’re going pro, we go deep on client communication and understanding what people actually mean by ‘light makeup’.
- My support doesn’t stop after class—you can always message when you’re stuck.
My Philosophy
Makeup should highlight real skin. Texture, pores, thoda sa daag (a few marks)—sab normal hai (all normal). I teach you to embrace it, not hide it. If you’re after filtered looks, honestly, I’m not the right teacher.

My Story
Makeup for me? It’s not just lipstick and powder, it’s how you feel inside. Khaas karke brides ke liye (especially for brides), it’s about turning stress into a smile. Jo main hamesha kehti hu (what I always say)—never mess with your real skin tone. Enhance, don’t change. I’m all about #nofilterbeauty and love teaching too. Breaking down skin prep vs. skin care in my masterclasses, I keep it real—details matter more than fancy bottles.
