About this collection
Achieving a modern, chic finish isn't just about the foundation; it starts with deep skin preparation to match the lighting of your event or shoot. I use premium, long-wear products like NARS and Charlotte Tilbury to create a base that stays radiant under studio lights or daylight, ensuring you look defined and polished without ever feeling like you're wearing a mask.
Modern and chic makeup means different things to different people, but for me, it always comes back to the skin. Whether we are aiming for a soft, editorial smokey eye or a fresh, dewy 'golden hour' base, the goal is always to enhance, not hide.
The Process
I start with a quick consultation to understand your outfit and the lighting conditions—this is crucial for both professional photography and evening party settings. If the shoot is complex, I coordinate with the creative team to ensure the makeup holds up throughout the day.
Products & Longevity
I rely on high-end, long-wear staples. These products are specifically designed to hold up under harsh studio lights, direct sunlight, or long event hours without breaking down or looking cakey.
More Than Just Makeup
It is rarely just about the face. My modern looks often pair sleek, voluminous waves or clean updos to balance the makeup. If you are opting for a classic saree drape or a structured outfit, I ensure the hairstyle complements the neckline and overall vibe.
Commercial vs. Personal
While commercial shoots demand a precise, 4K-ready finish, personal events call for a balance of drama and comfort. I adjust my technique—using more precise color theory for camera shoots and a slightly more natural application for real-life events. Let's chat about your vision and what kind of finish suits your event best.
