Through this approach, we aim to showcase the endless possibilities and significance of makeup artistry, highlighting the impact makeup artists have across industries like fashion, film, theatre, and beyond.

Five faces, five crafts. Each look speaks of pressure turned into pulse: Lambani mirrors sewn from survival, Bidri’s silver beneath soot‑black endurance, rosewood inlay’s silent strength, Mysore silk’s soft resilience, Ilkal’s woven lineage. This is craft, stress, and identity — on skin.
