About
Hi, I’m Rubina.
I’ve spent nearly twenty years in beauty as a makeup artist and skincare specialist. I founded and ran a women’s spa, worked as a pro artist on brand campaign sets, and saw my work credited in Glamour UK. Today I work with Glamsquad and take private bridal and event clients.
My heritage is Iranian, Hyderabadi and Afghan, and South Asian bridal is the work closest to my heart. I know how a matha patti should sit, how to keep a look fresh from the baraat to the last photo, and how to make deep, warm and fair skin all glow.
