In these classes, we start by auditing the products already in your bag. Whether it is choosing the right concealer shade or finally understanding why your foundation separates by the afternoon, we fix the common mistakes you have been making for years. This is not about following trends; it is about building a routine that actually suits your skin type. ### Why The Basics Matter Most makeup problems are not about the products you use, but the techniques you apply. Whether you are prepping for a corporate look or a festive function, a long-lasting finish starts with your skin. I focus heavily on the CTM (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturizing) routine, because no expensive foundation can hide poor skin prep. ### What You Will Learn In my Mulund studio or through live online sessions, we break down the science of makeup: * **Skin Analysis:** Understanding if you have oily, dry, or combination skin and choosing a primer that actually creates a barrier, not just a layer. * **The Base:** I teach the difference between setting powder and banana powder. Knowing which one to use is the difference between a cakey finish and airbrushed, smooth skin. * **Color Correction:** We move beyond just covering up; we learn to balance undertones so you use less product for better coverage. * **Technique Over Brands:** I show you how to use your own kit—even drugstore palettes—to achieve professional results. ### My Teaching Philosophy I believe in "Makeup आहे, पण दिसत नाही" (there is makeup, but it is not visible). My goal is to teach you how to enhance your features, not mask them. Whether you join my 1-day crash course or the 3-day comprehensive program, you get hands-on experience, product lists, and post-class support. No overcrowded batches, no corporate fluff, just straight talk and practice until you feel confident holding a brush. ## About The Beauty Obsessed I am Priyanka, and I believe makeup should simplify your life, not complicate it. At The Beauty Obsessed, I help you build a routine that works for your unique skin type, rather than just following whatever is currently trending on social media.
