A whole universe of holistic beauty awaits.

Mokae Beauty was born of the love, care, and deep knowledge of celebrated makeup artist Sandhya Shekar, and photographer Vikas Vasudev. Created as a space that empowers both one’s inward journey and outward expression — ours is a new culture of holistic beauty that aims to connect people to their ‘self’ and ‘source’. A path that keeps the Indian experience of beauty and well-being at its core.

When it comes to our products, we believe less is more. Our effective, clean, and safe formulations have been tested over two years across every skin type and tone. We’ve created high-performance products that are easy-to-use, and allow for a sense of playfulness. They’re designed to encourage experimentation and expression.

We believe that when an individual has a deeper connection with themselves, their soul is nourished, and the beauty they hold begins to radiate. That’s why we invite you to join us at Mokae Lab, where you can explore a curated range of ideas, workshops, rituals and offline experiences, the benefits of which we can personally vouch for.

With Mokae Beauty, we bring the worlds of beauty and wellness together to make you look and feel your most beautiful. Inside and out.

Note From Our Founder

Note From Our Founder

When I entered the world of beauty as a makeup artist in 2009, I had no idea where it might lead me. I was coming out of a career in finance and all I knew was I wanted to do something that felt more aligned with who I was. I grew up in Mangalore — where tropical slow living began to inform the core of my being, and I discovered that I was deeply drawn to colour.

Fast forward 15 years and here I am; ready to combine my personal and professional experiences with beauty and well-being, and connect them all in a single universe.

Mokae Beauty was born from my genuine explorations to feel and look my best; Healthy, beautiful, loved, and full of love. It’s the kind of space I always sought out for myself, and when I found it didn’t quite exist, I knew I had to create it.

After years of hunting for premium homegrown makeup brands, and only finding subpar options, I knew I needed to create clean, safe and high-performance products designed for Indian skin. I hope our products show you just how easy, effective, and empowering makeup can and could be.

I hope it shows you that beauty is for everyone.

My deepest hope, however, is that you also discover new rituals, practices, and experiences here which make you feel more whole on the inside too, because that’s when this culture will truly feel complete.

I’m on this journey with you every step of the way, and I promise to remain true to what I set out to do. My hope? That Mokae Beauty may truly be a beacon for holistic beauty in this world.

With Love,
Sandhya
