Chiseled Look

Doing Makeup had always been part of me... rather I would say a God Gifted talent which I had been practicing continuously back stage since years, saving on costs while doing shoots as a part of my Public Relations profile.

Finally getting an International certification as a makeup artist was THE real feather on my cap. To actually give it solid grounds to take off and start afresh commercially. Having specialised in EDITORIAL and FASHION MAKE-UP, started with Chennai. Editorial and Fashion Makeup was specific because, I realized there is a growing trend of every person like diamonds .. owning and flaunting a portfolio which is a long lasting memory. Pre-Wedding shoots, Baby showers, Mehandi , Roka, Beach parties etc etc. So it is extremely essential that for such memories, our best features need to be highlighted. Another fact is not every one has a perfect face that is photogenic, to create that face is both an ART and a SCIENCE.

CHISELED LOOK IS WHAT  I TERM IT AS....

Contouring beautifully is the key to create a 3D face which on pictures becomes a flat 2D image. This has to be done with a lot of precision which only practiced hands can create magic. This kind of look is also popularly known as Nude makeup in which you enhance the features by Contouring and play with neutral shades or the skin tones. 

Method: After cleansing, Toning and moisturizing,  Apply primer.. Then conceal the flaws. Then use deeper tones below the cheek bone to create a shadow and blush above that shadow. Blending is the key for any makeup application. Or else it will not look like a part of your skin. The bridge of nose along with the areas under eye is highlighted, along with the chin and temple area of forehead. 

Monochromatic makeup i.e makeup done with shades of one color is Trending a lot in India. This look has been popular Internationally. International artists like Angelina Jolie, Kate Winset for Lancome, Priyanka Chopra as baddie, Diana Penty in her Bridal looks, Deepika Padukone in Baajirao Mastani have adorned these looks.


Nude make up can be further enhanced with shades of Gold and pink peach. Loreal has recently launched Gold series which Aishwarya Rai is promoting... so has Lakme where Kareena is the brand ambassador. 

Here are some challenging faces with broad and a plump face  where I have created a Chiseled look.

Upcycle Concrete

  Upcycle is an interesting "GREEN" practice nowadays followed by many!! For goods and commodities its good, but in the era of shifting sands, preferences, fast evolutionary changes, the need and demand for more excitement the malls, unlike old markets, have a very short life span. A decade is quite long, then they slowly organically fade out. Ahmedabad, unlike the metros is quick silver. The life span of malls is shorter than those in metros.. few which have swept off infront of our eyes in two decades are; Gulmohar, Fun Republic, Gallops etc. Gallops though with best brands, infrastructure couldn't survive the cost concious market. Two days ago I happened to step into Iscon mega Mall, Mega like the word suggests, its gigantic. Reliance hyper market was inaugurated on 15th August 2006 by Sh Mukesh Ambani, it was his big bang entry into retail segment. In this mega structure, today hardly 10% area is functional, rest is all unused.  If Westside and Reliance are functional...

Parallel Worlds - Perspectives from Gwalior

India is a land of Gold mine for Archeologists and architects.. any region we travel, there are ballads and narratives found in every corner of the country. After various emperors who travelled and did their territory demarcation.. today the politically divided States as per the Sovereign Social Republic clearly reflect the culture and Unity in Diversity in various aspects, be it culture, space, region, food or architecture.
