Central to herphilosophyis the belief that beauty is not universal. Skin texture, facial features, and hair types vary from person to person, so makeup must be customized. She also champions skincare and the growing “no-makeup makeup” look — one that highlights natural features rather than masks them. Her client base, which includes celebrities and private clients alike, has grown organically throughbrandcollaborations, PR connections, and referrals.

Sanu Gurung’s Quick Beauty Tips

Foundation — Match to your skin’s undertone (warm, cool, or neutral) and type: matte for oily, hydrating for dry, lightweight for combination.

Natural Glow — Use a luminous foundation or mix in a drop of liquid highlighter. Finish with translucent powder to control shine.

Eye Makeup — Curl lashes, apply mascara, and add a soft shimmer to the inner corners or under the brow bone for a fresher, more awake look.

Hair — Loose waves, sleek ponytails, or simple low buns complement natural makeup without overpowering it.
