Benefits of Choosing a Professional, Personalised Approach

How We Care About Your Desired Makeup
Your preferred makeup direction should be the starting point. Tell Rekha what you want to look like, what you normally wear, what you are comfortable with and what you do not want. Reference photographs can help communicate a finish, but they are not a promise that an identical look should be copied. The final application is adapted to your facial features, skin, outfit, jewellery, hairstyle, lighting, photography and the practical demands of the occasion.
Do's and Don'ts
- Provide the creative brief and visual references.
- Discuss the photographer, lighting and intended publication or portfolio use.
- Share wardrobe and styling information.
- Discuss the number of looks and any major transitions.
- Allow enough time for detailed creative application.
- Start an editorial shoot without agreeing on the concept.
- Assume editorial makeup should look like party makeup.
- Add major concept changes at the last minute without revising the schedule.
- Ignore the relationship between makeup and lighting.
- Use a reference image without explaining which elements you want to retain.
Care Before & After Your Makeup
Before: align the creative team on the concept, wardrobe, hair, makeup, lighting and shot list. Prepare the skin with a familiar routine. If special textures or strong makeup changes are expected, allocate additional preparation and transition time.
After: remove editorial makeup carefully after the shoot. Return to a gentle skincare routine and avoid unnecessary irritation from repeated cleansing or rubbing.
Service Scope and Planning
The exact service plan should be confirmed according to the occasion, number of people, location, ready time, outfit changes, waiting requirements and any additional styling requested. Where an item is not listed as included, it should be discussed and confirmed before the appointment.
