Pakkhi Pahuja Siroya​​​​​​​ - Perseverance Is Key

Getting started

My inclination towards make-up started when I was 17 years old. While my parents wanted me to pursue an MBA, I felt that it did not enhance my creative itch. Instead I started to assist make-up artist, Vipul Bhagat and did so for three years.

Courses undertaken

Post my stint with Bhagat, I worked with MAC for a year. Later, I went to London to study professional make-up under renowned make-up artist, Christine Blundell. I also did a master class with Alix Box, who is known for her avant garde style.

Challenges faced

There is no dearth of make-up artists in the industry today. The competition is tough with amazing talent around. One has to always do their best in order to stay ahead. I do not use make-up to change one’s appearance, rather focus on highlighting the features.

First break

Back in the day when I was experimenting with make-up, my sister asked me to do her bridal make-up. This gave me the platform and allowed me to seriously tap my potential.
