What made you pick this career?
I had always been inclined towards this field and in 2005, I actually took a year off after graduation, and took up a course in makeup and hairstyling. It all started then.
How do you handle competition?
As a true artist, I believe in my uniqueness of my art and if my client comes to me seeing it than I feel, I have accomplished what I want as an artist. Competition is there is any field and that is what makes us less complacent.
Must have makeup tools…
Lash curler, mascara and kajal.
What is your favorite quote?
“Make up is all about working on the individual features of each person and enhancing the beauty of it.”
By what motto do you live?
Make up is all about working on the individual features of each person and enhancing the beauty of it.
Do you work for passion or money?
To be very honest I work for both because I need both passion and money to be at the top. So there are times when I do free shoots just because I like the concept of the designers or photographers.
What is the reason you work?
I am here because I believe that this is a gift from God, this what I love and this is my passion.
Dream celebrity to work with?
