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.

Its not just Oil and Gold, a New world economy, booming and buzzing, attracting all global markets to buy home, setup business and live in a place which is now the new Centre of attraction, to setup Global Headquarters. The Millenial tower - Burj Al Arab  Indians have forgotten Canada and US (seems so..) especially after the setting up new Trump norms... so where do all heads turn and why? 1. Distance : Travel time from Delhi to Dubai is 3.5 hours and if we talk about Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala and Maharashtra they are geographically more towards the west, therefore the travel time to The Emirates is even lesser than any other Indian town on the extreme corner. Therefore, Dubai travel is cost effective and easily accessible. 2. Visa : Relaxed norms with consultants from both countries growing in numbers to assist Indians settle in Dubai, both for entrepreneurs and job seekers. 3.

Sands to Skyscrapers: Dubai’s Architectural Marvels

A New Dawn in the Desert By: Kulveen Narula “The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn't something  you await, but rather create.” — H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum A t the turn of the millennium, while the world was celebrating the arrival of Y2K , a quiet revolution had begun brewing in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates, particularly Dubai , was preparing to reimagine itself—not just as a city but as a symbol of human possibility. From a land once known only for its sands and souks, rose a futuristic skyline that rivals the best on Earth. In just 25 years , Dubai evolved into a global epicentre of design, engineering, and luxury—where the homo sapiens are actually living on Cloud 9, giving us a strong dream etched on sand, which didn't disappear overnight but amplified year on year imparting a twinkle in the eye of millions in the world to light up a dream.  The Visionary Behind the Rise The transformation is no...
