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
