BEFORE AND AFTER PORTFOLIO

DULHAN' BY SHIKHA ARYA

Makeup Artist Shikha Arya has been fascinated by the world of beauty since her childhood. And this fascination has reached far beyond trying make-up artistry, skin-care and hair-care on herself. She has diplomas from Il Makiage Make-up Academy in Manhattan, and European Academy Of Cosmetology in New Jersey. She is combining the knowledge from her Western training and her Desi upbringing with the latest technology to change the universe of South Asian Bridal Makeup Industry. Her trendsetting techniques and artistic abilities are raising the bar for the Desi bridal makeup artists everywhere.
She brings in 9 years of experience as a model, fashion choreographer, and a makeup artist for the fashion industry, into the Desi wedding industry and that right there is her niche. Brides who wanted to run far away from the typical back-home style mask-look, found Shikha's approach very fresh, natural, unique and glamorous. Shikha especially attracts the brides who wanted to go to the mainstream western make-up artists to attain that natural look and then found all of that alongwith the Desi custom know-how, in Shikha.

According to Shikha, a bride should look more breathtaking than she has ever looked in her life, before her big day, and hotter than she could ever look after that day. By the way, you don't have to be getting married to avail Shikha's services. You can also have her as your personal consultant to groom you into a refined, maxed out, new more beautiful you.

Shikha has accomplished a lot in her young age. Beside being one of the official make-up artists of the DulhanExpo, she just recently got appointed as the official makeup artist for the Bollywood Awards too. She is currently working on her first book 'Dulhan Beauty' and her own line of make-up products 'Beauty by Shikha Arya'.

Even-toning the skin and matching it 100% with bride's real skin color is her main specialty. Using make-up to conceal skin-flaws, slimming down the face, reshaping the nose and contouring cheek bones are some of the special features of her work. Thickening the hair by adding hair extensions and making relatively small eyes look bigger via proper eye-makeup are some of her best-kept secrets.
