The Art of Subtle Glam and Building a Beauty Journey from Scratch

For Muskan Goyal, makeup is more than a routine – it’s a medium of self-expression, transformation, and confidence. A Nepal-based makeup artist and beauty/lifestyle content creator, her journey began early. At just 13 or 14 years old, she was already experimenting with looks on herself, driven purely by curiosity and creativity.

Although she completed her bachelor’s degree before pursuing makeup full-time, Muskan never lost sight of her passion. Today, she works with a diverse range of clients and brands and has cultivated a loyal online community centered around authenticity, artistry, and approachable beauty.

Her Signature: Soft Glam with Balance

Muskan’s trademark style is best described as soft glam – a glowing, flawless base paired with well-balanced features.

“I focus on skin-like finishes, subtle highlights, and enhancing natural beauty,” she shares. “Depending on the occasion, I’ll bring in some drama to the eyes or lips, but the overall look stays refined.”

A Memorable Moment in Her Career

One standout project for Muskan was a bridal shoot in which the bride gave her complete creative freedom. The result was a stunning fusion of modern and traditional elements.

“Seeing her emotional reaction in the mirror reminded me exactly why I chose this path,” Muskan reflects.

3 Makeup Essentials for Beginners

– A lightweight, buildable foundation or skin tint
– A multi-use cream blush (ideal for cheeks, eyes, and lips)
– A good brow mascara, which also doubles as a subtle lash enhancer

What Changes for the Camera?

Makeup for photos and video differs significantly from everyday wear. According to Muskan, it requires more coverage, matte textures, and defined features to prevent shine and flashback.

“It’s about contrast and control, making sure everything translates well under lighting and lenses,” she explains.

Muskan’s Everyday Makeup Look

1. Cream-based, blendable textures
2. A light base for even skin tone
3. A hint of blush for natural color
4. Well-groomed brows and curled lashes

“Let your skin breathe. That’s the real glow.“
