Having a degree in Fine Arts, Rehat’s undying love for aesthetics was always paramount. Throughout her college days, she would do makeup for her friends and style their hair just because she loved doing it! After looking at the wonderful results, even other people started reaching out to her. They were willing to avail the services for a certain fee.
That’s when she decided to pursue this as a profession. Going by the name MUXO (MU- Makeup, XO- Love) Extended for her specially curated label for luxury hair extensions, Rehat’s magical product has been worn by Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone, House of Misu, Nargis Fakhri, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma and a few more international celebrities.
Rehat call her parallel segment -“face artistry” where she gets to transform and bring out the best features in a person with the ways of makeup. Her experience of doing makeup for Anita Dongre’s Jaipur campaign was the real test in the arena of bridal makeup and that kickstarted her career in this niche.
“It felt like painting a canvas to me, something I believe (thankfully!) came to me naturally.” Rehat says.
Her philosophy about bridal makeup is something that helps every bride take the leap of faith. Rehat shares her thoughts about it. “Their wedding day is the biggest day of their lives and even though every vendor plays a major role on the main day, I feel that the maximum pressure comes on the makeup artist, you have to give your best performance, it’s the finale and there is no second chance.”
The three hours of doing the makeup feels like a session of mediation. You’re totally engrossed into it, painting the canvas in the most beautiful form possible. She personally indulges in conversation and gets approval on the look from the bride after every step so she’s satisfied.
Her procedure is very “go-with-the-flow”. She’s a self taught artist and likes to work according to the bride’s features and her personal comfort level.
Breaking down the look of this celestial Sikh bride, Guneet – here are the details.

The sultry Matte chocolate brown smoky eyes were done using Morphe Palette in 35F and the skin was prepped with Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer and Nars Primer and fixed with Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder. MAC Ruby Woo + Sin were combined to create this deep color for the lips.
