Meet our featured beauty with brains Pragati Jain, a makeup artist based in Sydney, Australia.
Here is an interview with her:
- Tell us more about yourself, your hobbies, passions etc.
Well, for the basics, I am a 20 years old girl pursuing my degree in business administration from SP Jain School of Global Management, Sydney. As for my hobbies, I love to dabble between things and explore new skills. I am an avid bathroom singer, hahaha. Besides that I really like to dance, sketch and write. I even have an instagram page where I portray a bit of my writing and sketching (@doodlesbypaggy). Currently I have started a new venture called BreakThruu that advocates mental health and wellbeing (www.breakthruu.com) I am sure you see what I mean by dabbling between new things. Apart from that I really love to travel. I’ve visited a lot of countries and explored lots of new cultures.
- Who or what inspired you to become a makeup artist? To be honest, I’ve been drawing and painting ever since I was a kid and makeup just expands those boundaries. I mean with makeup being added to the list, you are not just constricted or confined to the canvas or a sketchbook, you have much more to explore. Apart from that I love meeting new people and makeup allows me to connect with amazing people with really powerful personalities. I learn something new from every client of mine and that’s what I really really like. This is why I decided to become a makeup artist and this was my inspiration.
- If you could give any celebrity a makeover, who would it be and why?
Ummm, this is a tough one actually because there are so many people I would love to give a makeover to. But if I have to come down to one person, I think it would be Emma Watson. She inspires me. Ever since I was a kid I have been a potter head, plus she is the one person who fights for things she is passionate about. She has done so much for the world. She is a true feminist and has constantly fought for gender equality and sexual harassment. I really admire her. We need more women like her.
- Who is your style icon and why?
I have 4 style icons and they are my mom, my grandma and my aunts (bua) (masi). All four of them are strong, independent women who carry themselves with a certain class and elegance. I’ve really admired the way they wear what their heart desires but still look refined and sophisticated and I think that’s really rare. I’ve always looked up to them and will continue to do so my entire life.
