I could express my feelings, where I could have my space and live in the moment. I realised the next step was to learn this art from the best and only the best, Mr. Kumar. But, make-up was a priority as more than anything; I wanted to learn it for myself but also to see if this form of art inspires me. On the first day of my 8 day make-up, I was so excited to meet the team, especially Mr. Kumar. When the moment came for me to introduce myself to the team and the other students, just after I said my name, Mr. Kumar asked whether I loved to dance. This threw me back because I was surprised how he got the hint that I loved to dance. So I said yes but asked how he knew, and his answer was, ‘From the way you hold your pen.’ The 8days of makeup at the studios were one of best few days I had with B, Krina and my fellow colleagues. Thank you very much for such an amazing experience and B, I shall never forget – “Blend Blend is your friend.” This pushed me further to book the 5day henna course, and to be honest, this is the best decision I made, the best experience I had, gained the best knowledge from the legendary Mr. Kumar and last but not least made many good friends.
