Vimi Joshi has worked in the Middle East beauty industry for three decades, from backstage at international fashion weeks to the makeup chairs of globally recognisable faces. She grew up in England in a traditional Indian household, and South Asian beauty rituals gave her creativity its start. Training at London's Glauca Rossi School of Makeup came next, followed by a first professional post at MTV UK. MAC Cosmetics then brought her to the Middle East, and she became a Senior Artist and Regional Trainer there.
Joshi has directed makeup for the IIFA, the Bollywood Oscars, a three-day event featuring awards days that have topped 300 makeups and a broadcast watched by almost a billion people. She also created makeup looks for Asteri Beauty at the inaugural Riyadh Fashion Week, from Classic Couture to Smoldering Saudi Eyes. Her current chapter is Vimi Joshi Beauty, a makeup brand launching in the Middle East alongside Alshaya and Ulta Beauty Middle East. The brand brings inclusive colour development for warm undertones, and its range includes eye shadow palettes and liners.
