Beauty is limitless and behind your favorite beauty looks is a genius makeup artist. With our society that is evolving day by day there has been a massive change in the makeup industry as well. Some of the great makeup artist brought the concept of less is more, be it for a bride or a model. Makeup artists showed how one can look extremely beautiful by just enhancing their features and not opting for a caked up face, looking fake at the end. The whole concept has been changed through some of our famous makeup artists who brought this awareness that the foundation should be light, of your own shade, and super natural. The even taught our women through various shoots, dramas, adds and brides that you cannot always pair heavy eyes with a  bold lip color, one of them has to go subtle, so these small changes have actually made a huge change and we can’t just thank our makeup artists enough for this.

What inspired you to become a makeup artist?

Beauty always attracted me and I always search for beauty in everything so that’s what inspired me to learn the skills of makeup and perfecting beauty.

When and how did you get this idea of doing transformations?

I enjoy doing these transformations and I never did  them for  publicity. I just share with everyone how I look at myself as they’re just a self-expression.

 

 

There is a lot of appreciation but at the same time there is a lot of negative criticism as well, how do you deal with it?

I don’t bother, I have only this one life to express myself to my very core. If I’m not doing it now then when?

Are there any more transformations coming up?

Yeah! It’s just the beginning! There’s a lot more to come.

 

Who do you next want to transform like?

It’s a secret but it’s going to definitely something very creative and worth the wait!

The environment of the  society that we live in. Where the society has evolved a lot, I think still there are some things and some mind sets that need to change.
