I specifically use fluid, high-end foundations like NARS Sheer Glow or Armani Luminous Silk because they provide beautiful, buildable coverage without feeling heavy or cakey on your skin. Even if we opt for a bold, dramatic eye with glitter or a striking lip color for your evening entrance, your skin stays the star of the show. For a reception or cocktail night, you want a look that feels distinct from your day-time ceremonies. This is where we can really play with glamour. ### My Approach to Evening Glam Evening events are the perfect time for experimental eye makeup—think shimmering pigments, cut creases, or smudged, sultry liners. I pair these with a base that is designed to last through hours of mingling and photography. ### Customizing Your Look It starts with a conversation about your outfit. If you are wearing a gown, I often lean towards soft waves or Hollywood curls to match the flow. If you are wearing a structured saree or lehenga, we can experiment with intricate updos, messy buns, or even braids with unique accessories. I bring my own high-end professional tools and products, ensuring everything is prepped to handle humidity or heat, especially if your event is outdoors or in a crowded venue. ### The Final Touch Your look is not complete until you feel 100% confident. Whether you need help setting a heavy dupatta, securing your jewelry, or ensuring your lipstick survives the entire night, I am there to handle the details so you can focus on enjoying your celebration. If you have a specific look in mind from a magazine or Pinterest, let's discuss how we can adapt it to suit your features and personal style. ## About Tejaswini Shetty Hi, I'm Tejaswini.
