The moment I met Pooja, I had a clear imagination of my painting on her face… She expressed her excitement about having her makeup done by a professional for the first time.
With every stroke of my brush, Pooja’s transformation mirrored the rare elegance of a cherry blossom in full bloom. As she looked into the mirror, she saw not just a ceremonial Asian beauty look but a woman empowered by her roots.
She was adorned in the rich tapestry of her Asian heritage, with intricate patterns of red and gold symbolizing love and prosperity. a fusion of timeless bequest and the promise of a brilliant future.
