Breaking free from the conventional, celebrity makeup artiste Sandhya Shekar paid heed to her creative side and exited the mainstream corporate space to pursue her true calling in the beauty industry. With a substantial body of editorial work to her name and having worked exclusively with Bollywood’s biggest stars, she has proved her mettle and carved a space high up on the popularity charts. Present in the industry for about 11 years, her work reflects minimalism and sophistication. She gets candid about how she made the switch from a career in finance to the makeup world, her inspiration, work ethic, and more.
