About
A Dubai artist with
a Bollywood address book.
Reshu Malhotra has worked in beauty across the Middle East and India since 2011. What began as a personal obsession with skin and colour became a career running on two tracks — the quiet, exacting work of a wedding morning, and the fast, high-pressure work of a red carpet or a shoot day.
In 2014 she opened The Artist Beauty Lounge in Oud Metha, Dubai: a studio built around the idea that makeup only ever looks as good as the skin underneath it. Alongside the chair she writes about beauty, mentors artists entering the industry, and teaches.
“Skincare is the foundation of good makeup.”Reshu Malhotra
Her work has taken her to IIFA, Miss India UAE, the Gr8! Women Awards and India Fashion Week Dubai, and into the chairs of actors, presenters and regional creators. She travels for destination weddings across the UAE, India and beyond.

Signature Looks
Three finishes she's
known for.
Most briefs land somewhere on this shelf. Choose the one closest to what you have in mind — the trial is where we tune it to your skin, your outfit and your light.
Glamorous
Full coverage that still reads as skin. Sculpted cheek, lifted eye, a lip with weight to it.
Services
What she's booked for.
Every Other Function
Roka, engagement, mehendi, sangeet, nikah and reception — looks planned as a set so the week reads as one story rather than six different brides.
Mother, Sisters, Guests
Party and family makeup handled alongside the bride by her studio team, so the whole party is ready on the same clock.
Red Carpet & Press
Event, awards and press-day makeup for talent and their teams. Fast turnarounds, camera-safe finishes, and discretion as standard.
Fashion & Campaign
Runway, lookbook and campaign work — including airbrush and SFX where the concept calls for something beyond beauty makeup.
Masterclasses
Personal and professional sessions for people entering the industry, plus brand masterclasses and workshops across the UAE.
Destination Weddings
Available for destination weddings across the UAE, India and further afield. Travel and accommodation quoted with the package.
The Beauty Lounge
Her Oud Metha studio for skin, hair and nails between events — facials, treatments, styling and nail extensions.
