Harshita Adapa: While studying Applied Chemistry, I became deeply intrigued by the science behind skincare product synthesis. The intersection of chemistry and skincare sparked a curiosity that gradually transformed into a genuine passion. I realised how most impactful fields rely on multi-path and scientific study, precision—and most importantly, how deeply it can affect and enhance self-image, and people’s confidence and wellbeing.
The more I explored, the more it fascinated me. It wasn’t just science—it’s an art with a calling. That scientific foundation helped me understand the ‘why’ behind the results we see on faces. That balance of logic and beauty has been one of the most fulfilling journeys of my life.

Harshita Adapa: Korean skin trends will always rank among the top in the global beauty market of 2025. I believe the focus on minimalist skincare regimens, ingredient transparency, and advanced technology like AI-based diagnostic tools will align with the growing demand for holistic beauty. What makes these solutions effective is the emphasis on multi-step regimens, advanced formulations, and non-invasive techniques. I’ve seen firsthand how results can transform not just skin, but also identities, routines, and youthfulness safely and sustainably. At HIBA, we educate clients and students with the same mindset — the best of Korean skincare merged with local needs. As people become more aware, I strongly believe that personalization, science-backed beauty, and minimal routines are exponentially scalable — and we fully align with this shift.

Harshita Adapa: The most vital skill every PMU (Permanent Makeup) artist must master is the ability to create a natural finish. The mark of a true PMU master lies in their ability—beyond precision and technique—to understand face symmetry, pigmentation science, and personalisation of results. Every stroke has a purpose, and it should enhance the client’s beauty, not overpower it. As I often say at HIBA: “The goal is to look like a refined version of yourself. You’re still YOU, just the best version of it.”
