• Pageant Preparation and Masterclass Overview: Roli tripathi opens the meeting by welcoming participants, checking on preparation progress, and announcing upcoming lookbook sharing and measurement submissions. Roli tripathi introduces Tanpreet Narula to lead a makeup masterclass for participants travelling to Singapore, explaining that makeup kits must be prepared independently. Roli tripathi notes that understanding skin color and undertones involves identifying blue and green vein patterns to select appropriate base colors and eye makeup.

• Skin Analysis and Masterclass Focus: Mamta Shripathy notes joining the program three or four days prior and finding the previous session exciting and informative for identifying areas needing improvement. Tanpreet Narula directs participants to review prior session recordings covering Korean and skin color analysis before introducing the daily masterclass topic focusing on brown and glam self-makeup shade selection.

• Skin Sanitization and Cleansing Process: Tanpreet Narula emphasizes that sanitization of beauty blenders, brushes, and skin is crucial before starting makeup. Tanpreet Narula demonstrates cleaning the skin using a wipe containing 99% water, advising participants to select alcohol-free wipes that leave no moisture behind to prevent cracking or layered makeup. Tanpreet Narula guides participants through thoroughly cleaning the forehead, brows, eyelids, under-eyes, nose, upper lip, chin, and neck to ensure tone consistency.

• Toning and Moisturizing Products: Tanpreet Narula introduces the Cleaning, Toning, and Moisturizing routine, recommending face mists, plain rose water (gulab gel), or liquid milk toners applied with cotton buds for hydration. Tanpreet Narula advises letting the toner soak in before applying moisturizer and notes that Bioderma, Forever, and high-end Embrowlless are suitable options depending on skin type. Tanpreet Narula warns against using tinted moisturizers because they alter skin tone and cause patchiness or darkening over time.

• Lip Balm Application and Makeup Sequence: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates applying a plain, non-tinted multi-purpose lip balm (such as Oriflame or non-tinted Bura) to hydrate lips and upper lip areas prior to makeup application. Tanpreet Narula outlines the complete self-makeup sequence for participants to note down, starting with toner, moisturizer, primer, concealer, foundation, liquid blush, liquid highlighter, liquid contour, powder contour, powder blush, full face powder, and concluding with a makeup fixer.

• Product Purchasing Recommendations and Store Visits: Tanpreet Narula advises participants against buying cosmetic products online on the first try to avoid shade mismatches, recommending instead that they visit physical cosmetic stores like Sephora to test shade compatibility and blendability. keya shah mentions that Tira also offers physical testing facilities, while Tanpreet Narula shares personal travel-based shopping experiences for acquiring products.

• Primer Application and Selection: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates applying a gel-based primer in small quantities to the center of the forehead to blur pores and brighten the skin. Tanpreet Narula presents budgeting options like Renee Bollywood filter, medium-range Colorbar silicone formula, and high-end Nars or Dior options, noting that selection depends on individual budgets.

• Budget Considerations and Participant Makeup Habits: keya shah, Sagorika Mullick, and Mamta Shripathy discuss their infrequent makeup usage outside of specific events and question the necessity of purchasing high-end products they will not use daily. Tanpreet Narula addresses these concerns by offering budget, medium, and high-end options, emphasizing that participants should mix and match products based on personal preferences and budgets rather than sticking to a single brand. Sagorika Mullick notes working as a medical doctor in a hospital where daily makeup is not worn, and Mamta Shripathy notes working as a yoga trainer who primarily uses moisturizer, eyeliner, and lipstick.

• Skincare Routine and Pageant Requirements: keya shah shares their routine of using Hyphen CTM products followed by MAC powder, while Sagorika Mullick and Mamta Shripathy share their minimal skincare and makeup habits. keya shah asks about sunscreen usage during indoor swimming and aqua zumba classes, and Tanpreet Narula advises using tanning oils previously used during a Thailand trip to protect skin from tanning in water. Mamta Shripathy inquires whether the pageant finale makeup must be self-applied, and Roli tripathi directs Mamta Shripathy to discuss this with Roli tripathi, while Tanpreet Narula emphasizes that self-makeup skills are needed for intermediate events like interviews and panel discussions.

• Concealer Selection and Shade Matching: Tanpreet Narula introduces concealers, recommending budget options like L'Oreal Infallible for full coverage and Swiss Beauty for various skin types, alongside high-end options like Tarte or Charlotte Tilbury. Tanpreet Narula advises purchasing multiple concealer shades—specifically two shades darker than skin tone to achieve a long-lasting chiseled look, and one shade lighter—rather than relying on a single shade. keya shah and Sagorika Mullick discuss testing these shades at stores before purchasing.

• Color Correction and Application Techniques: Tanpreet Narula introduces color correctors like LA Girl, recommending orange or peach correctors to cover dark circles, pimples, and redness before applying foundation and concealer. Tanpreet Narula demonstrates applying correctors with flat brushes and blending with damp beauty blenders. Tanpreet Narula explains that creme-based products work best for dry skin, while water-based or gel-based products suit oily skin types.

• Concealer Application and Shade Selection: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates concealer application by covering the under eyes, center of the forehead, bridge of the nose, tip of the lip, and tip of the chin. Tanpreet Narula specifies using two shades darker than the skin tone after applying a color corrector. keya shah asks clarifying questions regarding shade selection and application wand usage. Tanpreet Narula explains that they blend the concealer simultaneously using specific patting and blending techniques.

• Participant Engagement and Pageant Preparation: Tanpreet Narula interacts with Krishika Rajput during the session, noting that they are 11 years old and learning makeup. Krishika Rajput confirms their participation and interest in the makeup session. keya shah and Tanpreet Narula encourage Krishika Rajput regarding their preparation for the India pageant.

• Foundation Selection and Skin Tone Matching: Tanpreet Narula displays the coverage achieved with concealer and transitions to foundation application, stating that foundation must match the exact skin tone rather than being layered excessively. Tanpreet Narula shares a personal example of mixing Nars shades Gobi and Punjab to match their skin tone, while Sagorika Mullick notes that finding the right tone can be difficult. Tanpreet Narula recommends Nars for super dry skin, noting that other high-end brands like Dior and MAC did not compare.

• Strobe Cream and Base Preparation: Tanpreet Narula introduces strobe cream for achieving a dewy look, displaying products from Faces Canada and Swiss Beauty. Tanpreet Narula explains that strobe cream can be applied after the primer, below the primer, or mixed with moisturizer. keya shah clarifies the step order, placing strobe cream before the color corrector. Sagorika Mullick questions whether the shine comes through makeup layers, and Tanpreet Narula confirms it does due to its pigments.

• Foundation Brand Options and Budget Categories: Tanpreet Narula outlines foundation choices across different budget tiers, recommending Swiss Beauty as a budget buy containing vitamin C and niacinamide suitable for all skin types. For medium or professional buys, Tanpreet Narula suggests L'Oreal, Forever 52, and Flea, while Mamta Shripathy notes that moisturizing creams have similar consistencies. Tanpreet Narula displays Flea foundation in shade 102 for self-makeup classes.

• Foundation Application and Blending: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates foundation application on the full face and neck using a flat foundation brush in shade 102. Sagorika Mullick observes that the coverage resembles a concealer. Tanpreet Narula then uses a beauty blender to spread the product thoroughly across the eyes, nose, lips, and chin to prevent patches. Mamta Shripathy, keya shah, and Sagorika Mullick confirm the base looks flawless, smooth, and free of grayness.

• Under-Eye Touchup and Liquid Blush Introduction: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates applying additional product to the inner and outer corners of the under eyes using a concealer brush and blending with a beauty blender in a D-motion. Tanpreet Narula then introduces liquid blushes, comparing Love Earth as a budget option (under 1,500) to Rare Beauty as a high-end option (3,000 plus).

• Liquid Blush Application and Tone Selection: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates the blendability of Love Earth liquid blush in peach nude shade Magora, explaining that warm-toned individuals suit nude and pastel peach shades, whereas cool-toned individuals suit pink tones. Sagorika Mullick identifies the color as peachy, and Tanpreet Narula adds shade Buttercup or Mamaearth Peach Fashion liquid blush to achieve a natural finish suitable for daily routines like hospital visits.

• Liquid Highlighter Application and Product Comparisons: Tanpreet Narula introduces liquid highlighter using Swiss Beauty as a budget option, applying it to the apple of the cheek to create a shiny sheen. Sagorika Mullick asks whether liquid or powder blushes and highlighters are better, and Tanpreet Narula explains that application depends on blending and personal practice. Sagorika Mullick asks about locking concealer with powder before foundation, to which Tanpreet Narula responds that multiple methods exist.

• Liquid Contour Application and Face Shaping: Tanpreet Narula introduces liquid contour using K Beauty creme contour, measuring the angle from above the ear to chisel the face. Mamta Shripathy asks why contouring is required, and Tanpreet Narula explains it shapes the jawline, nose, and forehead. Sagorika Mullick asks for budget options, and Tanpreet Narula identifies K Beauty as a medium-budget brand. Tanpreet Narula notes that the shade used is caramel focus, with beige focus for light contouring and cocoa focus for building up.

• Powder Contour and Powder Blush Application: Tanpreet Narula introduces powder contour from K Beauty to set the cream contour and minimize double chins on the neck. Tanpreet Narula then applies Colorbar powder blush, advising participants to dust off excess product and noting that blush palettes like Eye Magic can also be used.

• Highlighter Palettes and Round Face Contouring: Tanpreet Narula presents highlighter options, including palettes containing highlighters and blush, as well as standalone highlighters from Forever 52. Krishika Rajput excuses themself to leave early for a function, and the group bids farewell. Sagorika Mullick asks how to chisel a round face, and Tanpreet Narula reiterates using concealer two to three shades darker along with contouring.

• Loose Powder Application for Base Locking: Tanpreet Narula explains the difference between loose powders (translucent or banana powder used to lock makeup) and compact powders (used only for touch-ups), warning that packing makeup with compacts prevents it from staying. Tanpreet Narula demonstrates setting the under-eyes with loose powder from Forever 52 while looking up to eliminate creases and dark circles. Sagorika Mullick notes that applying blush slightly higher ensures it remains visible after powdering.

• Makeup Fixer and Toner Mist for Dry Skin: Tanpreet Narula applies a makeup fixer, stating that makeup will not stay without it, and extends concealer and powder down the neck. Tanpreet Narula recommends using a toner mist, rose toner, or rose water before or after foundation (prior to powder application) for extra dry skin to prevent a cakey appearance. Participants praise the smoothness and flawless finish of the base.

• Eye Base and Concealer Preparation: Tanpreet Narula begins eye makeup by applying Swiss Beauty number 10 concealer (one shade lighter than the face) to the upper lid. Sagorika Mullick suggests nude lipstick acts like a cream eyeshadow base, but Tanpreet Narula clarifies that the concealer must be set with powder or eyeshadow powder. Tanpreet Narula uses a neutral nude eyeshadow powder from Nykaa to set the concealer and break the crease.

• Eyeshadow Application and Session Feedback: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates eyeshadow application using a small brush and blending brush, applying darker shades to the outer corners and lighter shades to the inner corners while doing both eyes at once due to time constraints. keya shah, Mamta Shripathy, and Sagorika Mullick express gratitude for the step-by-step guidance, praise the transformation, and discuss their home cities of Bangalore and Natal. Mamta Shripathy notes Tanpreet Narula's Punjabi background.

• Evening Shimmer and Foil Pigments: Tanpreet Narula concludes by demonstrating evening or cocktail makeup using loose foil pigments from Swiss Beauty as a budget shimmer option, advising participants to be very careful during application.

• Eye Makeup - Kohl Application and Locking Techniques: Sagorika Mullick raises the problem that kajal smudges badly within half an hour. To address this, Tanpreet Narula demonstrates applying a black kohl from Renee on the waterline for a dramatic look, while Mamta Shripathy asks for clarification on the waterline, which keya shah and Sagorika Mullick explain. For the consensus solution to prevent smudging, Tanpreet Narula demonstrates locking the kohl by dabbing dark eyeshadow over it using a small brush, and also showcases an Inglot gel pod liner.

• Eye Makeup - Enhancing Intensity and Eyelashes: Sagorika Mullick notes that applying eyeshadow below the waterline initially looks like dark circles. Tanpreet Narula explains that this technique adds eye intensity, and keya shah notes that concealer can be layered afterwards. Tanpreet Narula demonstrates curling eyelashes using a Vega curler, noting that 20% dry mascara gives a false lash effect. While Sagorika Mullick finds extra lashes uncomfortable, Mamta Shripathy and Tanpreet Narula agree they look good, and Tanpreet Narula recommends mascara brands like L'Oreal Lash Paradise and Maybelline, alongside false eyelash brands including Euro Paris, wing lashes, and hot lashes.

• Lip Care and Application Routine: Tanpreet Narula outlines the complete lip makeup itinerary, starting with a lip scrub twice a week, followed by lip balm, lip liner, cream or liquid lipstick, and gloss. Tanpreet Narula recommends Mars lip liners as an excellent set of 12 or 13, and demonstrates using an exotic brown lip liner, adding that applying concealer before lipstick helps it last longer. keya shah asks about Fenty Beauty lipsticks, while Tanpreet Narula demonstrates using Anastasia Beverly Hills lipstick in shade Ashton, priced around 3,000 currency units, noting its shimmer eliminates the need for extra gloss.

• Eyebrow Shaping and Blush Application: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates shaping eyebrows using a spoolie brush and dark brown eyeshadow, recommending brands like Morphe, Jaclyn Hill, K Beauty, and Nykaa. Mamta Shripathy asks for terminology clarification regarding the spoolie brush. Moving to face makeup, Tanpreet Narula applies blush using a blush brush, emphasizing that product quantity depends on the occasion, with parties and pageants warranting a bit extra, a perspective supported by Sagorika Mullick and keya shah.

• Makeup Setting Spray and Resource Distribution: Tanpreet Narula demonstrates applying Pack micro finish makeup fixer—also noting L'Oreal and Mac as high-end alternatives—instructing participants to hold their breath, close their mouths, and wait one minute for the fumes to settle. Gaurav Mishra asks if Tanpreet Narula has a PDF of the products to share. Tanpreet Narula decides not to post the product PDF or skincare routine publicly on the group due to low participation in past sessions, stating instead that they will message Mrs. Shah, Mrs. Mullick, and Mrs. Mamta directly so that only attentive learners receive the materials.

•
