About Special Occasion & Photoshoot Makeup
My Approach
I see makeup as a way to bring out your best, not cover you up. Whether it's a party, pre-wedding, or a big shoot, I focus on enhancing what’s already there and giving you that glass skin finish. Main thing for me - you should feel ek number (absolutely top-notch) when you look in the mirror.
What I Offer
- Full glamour for those big, show-stopper moments - think high-impact party makeup with bold eyes and a glossy, dewy skin makeup look.
- Soft glam if you want something elegant and polished, but not too loud. This is perfect for those who want natural glam for photoshoots or intimate events.
- Simple "no-makeup" look if you prefer clean, modern, and just feel like yourself, but with a little extra.
- I always do hair styling along with makeup - from sleek buns to soft waves to match your outfit, whether it’s a saree or a gown.
Behind the Scenes
I’ve worked on sets with celebs, models, and real people (like you). I know how to make sure makeup looks just as fresh under the camera as it does in person. I use only high-quality products, and mix up my techniques based on your skin and vibe - sometimes even airbrush if needed.
Why Book Me
I won’t just doll you up and send you off. My aim is that you feel confident, comfortable, and genuinely happy with your look. If you say “shambar paiki shambar” (100 out of 100), my work’s done.

Giving someone that royal vibe for their wedding? That’s my blessing from Bappa.
