Faces the cameras already know.
Behind the scenes of Anu’s celebrity sessions — award nights, premieres and live stages, where the makeup has to survive lights most people never work under.
From Darling to Diva: Anikha, for Provoke
India watched Anikha Surendran grow up on screen — Baby Anikha of Yennai Arindhaal and Viswasam, modelling since she was eight months old, now a twenty-year-old leading lady. For Provoke Lifestyle’s ‘From Darling to Diva’ cover feature, Anu did the makeup.
Under the Lights: Saanve Megghana On Stage
Actress and performer Saanve Megghana took the stage for a live dance number in a white-and-silver rhinestone look. Anu did the makeup — glam built to move.
Thirty Years of Simran, in One Evening
Vaali, Kannathil Muthamittal, Petta — Tamil cinema has loved Simran’s face for three decades. When the Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards celebrated thirty years of that career, Anu did the makeup.
Katchi Sera, Live: Sai Abhyankkar On Stage
Katchi Sera made Sai Abhyankkar the youngest hitmaker in Tamil music — a teenager whose songs took over the internet before he finished school. When he took that sound to a live stage, Anu handled the grooming.
Star in the Ascendant: Aparna Balamurali
A National Award for Soorarai Pottru, a breakout in Maheshinte Prathikaram, and a role in Raayan — Dhanush’s 50th film. When Provoke Lifestyle shot Aparna Balamurali for its ‘Star in the Ascendant’ feature, Anu did the makeup.
The Rise of Garudan: Soori, on the Cover of Provoke
Soori spent years as one of Tamil cinema’s best-loved comedians before Viduthalai and Garudan turned him into a leading man. When Provoke Lifestyle put him on its June 2024 cover, Anu did the makeup.
The same standards, at your wedding.
Broadcast lighting, flash photography and twelve-hour days are the hardest test a makeup look can face. Every technique proven in these sessions — long-wear bases, camera-first colour choices, light-checked finishes — is the same craft Anu brings to every bridal chair.
