When Farhana Chaity, a Korea-certified versatile makeup artist and Founder of Makeover Finesse, opened her first branch in Banani in 2020, she had already planted the seeds of a much larger dream. Her training in Korea shaped not only her technical skill but also her philosophy of beauty—one rooted in precision, subtlety, and client comfort. After five years of growing her brand and understanding the needs of women from every walk of life, that dream has finally taken form in her newest venture, Finesse Platinum.
For Chaity, this branch is more than an expansion; it is the realization of a long-held vision. “I always wanted a place where a woman could receive everything under one roof—ambiance, service, and facilities that truly take care of her,” she says. In her first studio, it wasn’t possible to offer every service she dreamt of. Finesse Platinum, however, brings together makeup, hair styling, spa services, nails, lashes, brows, Thai massage, Korean head spas, and more—an entire ecosystem of beauty and wellness curated with intention. “This is my dream project. Here, clients don’t need to go to different salons for different things. Everything is here.”
Despite expanding, she remains firm about staying within her expertise. “I’m a makeup artist and hairstylist, not a doctor. I wanted to stick to what I know best so that the quality never drops,” she explains. This philosophy guides every detail of the new branch, from product choices to staff training. It is designed as a space where women can pause, breathe, and rediscover themselves.
Chaity believes beauty services play a powerful role in women’s emotional well-being. She shares a moment that stayed with her: a government official, after receiving several treatments, told her, “I have an important meeting tomorrow. After today’s session, I’m more confident it will go well.” For Chaity, this is what beauty is about—confidence, self-love, and the quiet strength that comes from feeling cared for. She describes her salon as a place where clients can leave stress at the door and step into a calming environment of music, warmth, and attentive service. “Women today are smart and conscious. They know what they want. Their confidence inspires us—we update ourselves because of them,” she says.
As a bridal makeup specialist, her Korean training deeply influences her signature style, especially now that minimalism defines the season’s trend. “Brides want natural, glowy makeup with a skin-like finish,” Chaity explains. Heavy foundation is no longer the norm; instead, brides are choosing radiant bases, nude or soft red lips, and eye looks tailored to their features and personality. Many gravitate toward mauve and pastel tones, lighter jewelry, and hairstyles
that balance elegance with ease—waves, soft curls, modern buns, and traditional twists. “What makes a bride truly beautiful is when her colors match her tone and her style reflects who she is,” she emphasizes. Her consultations often include detailed conversations about longevity, comfort, and harmony between outfit, jewelry, hair, and makeup.
At Finesse Platinum, clients quickly discover the services they return for again and again—from hydra facials and ice spas to hair botox, nanoplastia, and the increasingly popular Korean head spa. There is a rising interest in brow lamination and microblading, and her team of colorists stays booked with
clients seeking rich tones and healthy hair revival. Every service is delivered with her core principle in mind: “Proper facilities, the right products, and expert hands—that’s my promise.”
Among the most important makeup items, she recommends a good moisturizer, sunscreen for daytime, a compact for those with naturally good skin, a lipstick that doubles as blush, and a touch of mascara—simple essentials for a polished, effortless look.
In every layer of her journey—from Korea to Banani to the elevated vision of Finesse Platinum—Farhana Chaity has built more than a beauty studio. She has created a space where women feel seen, valued, and restored. Finesse Platinum stands as a reflection of her craft, her discipline, and her deep understanding of the women she serves. It is, as she calls it, “the place where my dream finally feels complete.”
