Being a self employed bridal hair and makeup artist based in London and having an inborn eager interest towards makeup at a very young age of 12, @vithya-hair-and-make-up-artist# comes from a traditional Srilankan family. She is one persona who travels across nations for services and recently embarked on a journey teaching master classes around the world. She completed her B.Sc Honours degree in Biology and Psychology and however she finally managed to convince her family in pursuing her dream in being a hair and makeup artist at the age of 24 and is very happy as she had taken that bold step that day.

When asked as to what was her advice to women who want to maintain a flawless skin inexpensively, she quotes “People worry too much about the outside when it is the inside that matters the most. If you don’t want to or cannot afford expensive skin care, then it is as easy as eating healthy and drinking plenty of water that will reflect on your skin. Hormone balance is important too while stress and fatigue reflect on our skin easily. I still think that natural remedies that our grandmothers have raised us with are the best”.

“It is really difficult to pick a favourite bride out of all I’ve worked with. It is tough to say best or a favourite even, although there was this one bride who will always be a fond memory and a much talked about one, Sapi. Her friends had booked my services as a surprise for her 21stbirthday party and while having a lovely time together she promised me that she will be booking my services for her wedding as well. And as a person who keeps her word, she did book me a few years later for her big day. She was not just a trendy person with a very unique, creative styling but also one of the most easy going brides I had ever dealt with. I shall never forget working with Sapi”.

“The three major things I can just not leave home without will be the ones for my brows, good skin and moisturized lips. The dark duo powder from Anastasia Beverly Hills, the MAC studio finish concealer in NW30 and the Tatcha gold lip balm are my everything.”

“Bare eyes and deep lips have become the order of the day. I used to wear semi-permanent lashes for many years and was also a big eyeliner addict. These days I don’t even wear mascara. I just go around with bold lips. The NYX Copenhagen lip-cream is my current Autumn favourite.

One of the best compliments I‘ve ever received from the brides is that I have a very bubbly personality which made them feel so calm and I was more like a therapist who threw their woes at bay.”
