About this collection
Getting the mundavalya and nath right is just the start; for a Maharashtrian ceremony, I focus heavily on heat-resistant base makeup because those traditional drapes and heavy gold jewelry can get warm fast. I use high-grade setting sprays and baking techniques so your skin stays fresh, not greasy, through every ritual from the sakarpuda to the wedding pheras.
The beauty of a Maharashtrian bride lies in the balance between tradition and personal style. Whether you are opting for a classic Nauvari saree or a contemporary silk weave, my goal is to ensure your makeup complements your jewelry rather than competing with it.
My Approach to Your Big Day
- Base Selection: For long ceremonies, I rely on products from brands like Kryolan and Huda Beauty. I prefer a medium-coverage, skin-like finish that doesn't feel heavy, especially if you are having a morning wedding in the Mumbai heat.
- Eye Makeup: I love a soft, neutral shimmer or a subtle halo eye for engagement ceremonies. If you prefer something more striking to stand out, we can definitely incorporate bolder gold or bronze tones that pop against the traditional saree colors.
- The Details: I pay close attention to the small things that make or break the final look. From professional saree draping to securing your gajra so it stays perfect for hours, I handle the styling so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Why Choose My Style
I believe makeup is for love, and seeing my brides light up is why I do this. My experience as a National Gold Medalist means I don't just apply makeup; I understand the technical side of color correction and skin prep. Whether it is your sakarpuda or the main wedding, let's talk about what makes you feel the most confident. Remember, the best look is the one where you feel like yourself, just a bit more radiant.
