How do you match a makeup look with the bridal attire?
“Makeup is not about matching colour with what you wear. It is all about playing
with different hues, and opting for the right combinations to ensure that all brides
stand out from the crowd.”
What special skincare routines do you recommend?
“I encourage all my brides to love their skin. They should strive to
have healthy-looking skin, not perfect-looking skin. They need to
drink plenty of water, green tea and healthy smoothies. Everyone
must follow a daily skincare routine that covers face wash, face
oils, moisturiser and sunscreen. To keep your skin hydrated,
frequently use rose water mist spray.

Apart from their skin, brides should also take care of their lips. To
prep for long-lasting lipstick, I recommend that they use Kiehl's Lip
Balm two hours before makeup application. This will prevent your
lip makeup from drying out and looking cakey.”
