While attaining a diploma in business marketing, an ambitious Kavita Suri, began her career as a freelance makeup artist. With great foresight, Kavita saw opportunity in the South Asian market for a “Bridal” make-up artist. She understood that the bridal industry was lacking a make-up artist with the ability to fuse both eastern tradition and western trends. Kavita had found her platform.
Having completed her make-up and esthetics course study, Kavita fully engaged in this exciting industry, networking her way into Canada's first South Asian bridal magazine, Suhaag. This proved a worthwhile venture as Kavita became Suhaag's in house make-up artist, where she has maintained her position for the last nine years. While continuing to work with Suhaag, Kavita took on other endeavors, quickly growing acclaim within the industry. Management experience at Holt Renfrew's Estee Lauder counter, prepared Kavita for her position managing the sales of Vasanti Cosmetics. Vasanti, a Toronto based make-up line, brought Kavita on board, and quickly made her a Sales Representative at various Shopper's Drug Marts, and Rexall locations. She is also Asian Woman Canada's (AWC) Magazine Beauty Editor, AWC is a well established Publication in the UK and now is making waves in Canada.
Gaining an endless amount of experience and knowledge within the cosmetics industry, encouraged Kavita's dedication. Having found her niche, Kavita strived forward, offering only the highest quality in service. Her fresh outlook and perspective ensuring her work was above and beyond the everyday mondane.
