Why I Started Pout Vibes: My Journey from Client to Makeup Artist

The Search That Never Ended

Honestly… I never planned to become a makeup artist in Delhi. Kabhi socha bhi nahi tha.

It all started because I was trying to find a makeup artist for myself — and no matter how much I searched, something always felt off.

I'd spend hours scrolling on Instagram… reels, before-afters, bridal looks… pura feed bhar jaata tha. And sab ka kaam achha hota tha, no doubt. But it never felt like me. Some looked too heavy, some too shiny, some too glam… and I just wanted someone who could keep things soft and natural.

Do you ever have that feeling when you're looking for something but you can't find exactly what you want? That was my situation. And I was getting tired of it.

The Moment That Changed Everything

One day I literally got irritated and said, "Forget it, I'll learn it myself."

Not a dramatic moment — just frustration.

So I bought a few basic products and started practicing on myself. And trust me… the beginning was funny. Wrong foundation shade, weird blush placement, eyeliner going up-down… pura comedy. But slowly, I started enjoying it.

Something about blending, fixing mistakes, trying again — it felt relaxing. And without even realising, I got better. Not perfect, but better.

From Self-Teaching to Trusting Friends

Then one day a friend said, "Your makeup looks nice today… can you do mine?"

I was shocked, but I tried… and it actually came out decent.

Then another friend asked. Then a cousin. And slowly, people started trusting me with their faces. That was the moment I realised — this could be something.

But here's what nobody tells you about being a makeup artist in Delhi: the climate is your biggest teacher.

Delhi ka weather bhi teacher hi ban gaya — heat melts makeup, winters dry your skin, pollution dulls everything. I learned what actually works here. Which base survives weddings, which lipstick lasts through dancing, which products are skin-friendly. This knowledge didn't come from YouTube tutorials or beauty courses. It came from the city itself.

If you're looking for makeup that works in Delhi's weather, that's exactly what I specialise in. Check out my bridal makeup services and portfolio to see how I adapt to different skin tones and occasions.

The Message That Stayed With Me

Then something unexpected happened.

A bride messaged me — a complete stranger — and said, "I want a natural look. Your style feels like me."

I remember just staring at that message thinking, "Is she really talking about me?"

I did her makeup, and when she looked in the mirror she said, "I look like myself… just nicer."

That one sentence stayed with me.

Because THAT is what I wanted for myself too, when I was searching everywhere in Delhi.

The Realisation

That day I realised: Maybe I wasn't meant to find the makeup artist I wanted. Maybe I was meant to become her.

And honestly, that's exactly what happened.

Today when clients tell me, "Please keep it natural, don't change my face," I smile — because I understand that feeling completely. I lived it.

Where It All Comes Together

I started this journey because I couldn't find someone who matched my style… and somewhere along the way, I became the makeup artist I had been searching for.

My philosophy is simple: You don't need to look different to look beautiful. You need to look like yourself — just better.

Whether it's a bridal makeup look for your wedding, party makeup for a night out, or a soft glam look for any occasion, I bring this same philosophy to every face I work with.
