kanika@chiiz.com<br />
Hit by wanderlust, Kanika is a hard core<br />
food addict who’s hobbies happen to be<br />
breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not just a<br />
dancer who danced her way happily out<br />
of college, Kanika is a photographer keen<br />
on capturing things or moments that are<br />
majestic. When not capturing or eating,<br />
Kanika is exploring places in and around delhi with her friends.<br />
When it comes to glamour and charm, the first<br />
thing that pops in our mind would be makeup.<br />
Especially with the weddings and celebrations, makeup<br />
is something that can’t be overlooked. So coming<br />
onto this very source of glamour and charm, we came<br />
across a very successful and emerging makeup artist,<br />
Priyanka Makhijani.<br />
classy with the little touch of her expertise, Priyanka<br />
gets in talks with our very own Kanika Maurya.<br />
Kanika Maurya: To start with, tell us something about<br />
yourself?<br />
Priyanka Makhijani: Well, I have been working in this<br />
profession for almost 7 and half years. It was only after<br />
my 12th grade that I developed an interest in make up<br />
and all. Actually my mother is also a makeup artist and<br />
an amazing hair stylist, and she has been in this for<br />
almost 33 years. So, after my high school, my family<br />
gave me a chance to first try out my hand in makeup.<br />
Then I did a month long course from Dr. Blossom<br />
Priyanka has worked with some of the prominent<br />
Kochhar and I have never looked back since then. All<br />
of my time went into shoots and training.<br />
I did my graduation from IP university. Even after<br />
studying business for 3 years, make up didn’t go off<br />
my mind. That was the time I decided to do a diploma<br />
in Fashion and Media Makeup from Pearl Academy.<br />
After that, I worked with VLCC, Sephora, celebrity’s<br />
MUA and designers for magazines, and also worked<br />
as a trainer for Monsoon Salons.<br />
fashion designers and celebrities till now and very<br />
soon she is going to launch her own makeup brand,<br />
just for her mother.<br />
Here’s how she keeps her strokes perfect and her colors<br />
Kanika Maurya: Wow! that’s really nice. What kind<br />
of work do you usually prefer, corporate events or<br />
personal work?<br />
Priyanka Makhijani: It doesn’t matter to me that<br />
much as long as you don’t lose the touch with it. Be<br />
