Beauty Gurus and Educators:

  1. dress your face Tamanna Roashan– Also known to over 1.6 million followers as “Dressyourface” on Instagram, Tamanna’s work on South Asian brides and celebrities has made her one of the most influential makeup artists around. In 2014, the half-Indian, half-Afghan beauty collaborated with Anastasia Beverly Hills to create a limited edition “Tamanna- Dressyourface” eye palette that quickly sold out. She also offers online makeup classes on her website.
