About Party & Occasion Makeup
Makeup for Every Celebration
I’m Aarti, and I’ve been doing makeup for over 15 years. I believe real beauty is not just about how you look, but how you feel. Marathi saundarya mhanje fakt chehryacha lavanya nahi, tar manatla tej (Marathi beauty isn’t just facial grace, but the glow from within). My job is to help you feel that glow, whether you’re the bride’s bestie, a proud mom, or just there to party.
Who’s This For?
- Bridesmaids who want a natural bridesmaid look
- Family members who want to feel special
- Anyone attending a wedding, sangeet, or any big occasion
My Approach
I’m all about enhancing what’s already there. When you look in the mirror and say, “Mi mi diste yamadhye” (I look like myself in this), that’s the best compliment. I celebrate every skin tone, especially dusky skin - no “correction”, just making your natural beauty pop.
Makeup & Hair Styles
- Dewy party makeup is my go-to for that fresh, radiant vibe
- Long-lasting airbrush makeup for those who want to look flawless all night
- Soft, subtle looks or full glam evening makeup - you pick
- Hair styling: updos, waves, braids, and accessories like flowers or pearls
What Matters Most
I’m based in Navi Mumbai and work across Mumbai. The best part? Seeing you happy and confident, whether you booked me after a trial or just trusted my work. That’s what keeps me going.

My Story
Hi, I’m Aarti Gaikwad. Makeup’s been my world since 2006, but it’s that glow on a bride’s face that keeps me going. For me, beauty’s all about ‘manatla tej, swabhavatli komalta’—that inner shine, that soft nature. My brushes just bring it out. Opening my own studio in Panvel wasn’t easy, but every struggle, every late night, made me who I am. Now, it’s a new start, and I’m loving every bit.
