About Engagement & Roka Glam
Engagement looks shouldn't feel like a mask. I focus on skin first prep, using products like Charlotte Tilbury and MAC, to create a base that is glowy, not cakey. This ensures you feel completely comfortable, whether you're under harsh stage lighting or posing for those up-close ring exchange photos.
My Approach to Your Engagement Look
Your engagement or Roka is often the first time you'll be professionally styled for your wedding festivities. It's a special moment, and I want you to feel confident. I don't follow rigid templates. Instead, we start with a conversation about your outfit, your comfort level, and what makes you feel like the best version of yourself.
The 'Unfiltered' Process
- Skin First: My signature technique relies on high-quality prep to create a natural, dewy canvas. I use Vitamin Enriched Face Base and strobe creams to give your skin that lit-from-within look.
- Custom Features: Whether you want soft, neutral eyes to match a pastel lehenga or something more dramatic with shimmer pigments for an evening cocktail party, I tailor the eye artistry to your specific vibe.
- Collaboration: I work closely with talented hair artists to ensure your hairstyle, whether it’s soft waves or a textured updo, perfectly complements the makeup look we've designed together.
What You Get
- Dedicated Time: I reserve a 3-hour slot for every engagement booking, so we never have to rush the process.
- Professional Draping: I include secure draping for your saree or lehenga, so you don't have to worry about your outfit while you're dancing.
- Photography Ready: My base techniques are tested to ensure they look just as stunning in person as they do in high-definition photos, without needing heavy filters.
My goal is to make sure that when you look in the mirror, you see yourself—just with a little extra sparkle for the day.
