Early life and background

Mehak Oberoi was born and raised in New Delhi into a family involved in business and fashion. Her mother, Jyoti Oberoi, is a fashion designer who owns the label Pirohi. Mehak grew up interested in the beauty and fashion world and initially wanted to pursue hairstyling. Academic challenges—she has described being diagnosed late with dyslexia and attention deficit disorder—shifted her focus toward makeup after encouragement from her mother.

She trained at Pearl Academy in Delhi, completing a diploma course in fashion media makeup, and began her professional journey in the beauty industry working in retail for Inglot Cosmetics before moving into salon and freelance roles.

Career

Mehak built her career through a combination of assistant roles, freelance projects and collaborations.

Aaj Tak also brought her in to do makeup for television anchors, expanding her experience beyond fashion and editorial work.

Her first assignment in films was a one-day shoot with actress Chitrangada Singh that led to an extended booking. A turning point came when Anushka Sharma’s manager contacted her for a photoshoot, an opportunity Mehak identifies as the start of her professional visibility in the glamour industry.

Mehak has created makeup looks for a number of notable Bollywood names, including Tara Sutaria, Sonakshi Sinha, Malaika Arora, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Nora Fatehi, Gauri Khan and Sonam K Ahuja.

In 2020 she received multiple industry awards, winning a Dadasaheb Phalke Award for Best Makeup Artist of the Year and a Vogue Beauty Award for Best Makeup Artist of the Year.

Mehak cites a range of artists who inspire her, including international names such as Pat McGrath, Valerie Gallant and Peter Philips, as well as Indian makeup artists like Anil Chinnappa, Puneet B Saini and Daniel Bauer. She favors products such as lip and cheek tints, face powders and mascaras from various mainstream brands and lists Bobbi Brown among her preferred makeup brands.
