Meet the artist

I'm a corporate psychologist turned makeup artist, and this career is a literal dream come true for me.

During the Covid years, I took a leap of faith, left my corporate career, and bet on myself. And you know what? It kinda worked. More than six years later, I still can't believe I get to do what I love every single day.

I've now worked with hundreds of brides on their special days and trained countless students in makeup. These days, I split my time between Karachi and Berlin, working in Karachi during Berlin's long and sad winters (which luckily coincide with the Pakistani wedding season), and heading back when the sunshine returns. It's the best of both worlds, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
