## About Elegant Reception & Cocktail Looks

For evening events, I prioritize dance-proof techniques using setting sprays and powders that lock everything in place, so you stay flawless from your first photo to the last dance. My base work is specifically balanced for flash photography, ensuring your skin looks luminous without unwanted glare in your reception pictures.

Your reception or cocktail night is the time to dial up the glamour, but that does not mean you have to look like someone else. My approach for these evening events is to enhance your features so you look radiant under both spotlights and camera flashes.

I focus on modern glam, which means soft, blended smokey eyes rather than harsh lines, and skin that glows without looking oily. Since these events often involve dancing, I use specialized setting techniques to ensure your makeup remains sweat-proof throughout the night.

I work with you to coordinate your makeup with your outfit, whether it is a heavy embroidered lehenga or a sleek gown. If you have specific hair preferences, like Hollywood waves or a textured bun, we plan that as part of the look. My kit includes luxury brands like Nars, Charlotte Tilbury, and Huda Beauty, chosen specifically for their longevity and high-definition finish. We also take care of the small details, like applying premium 3D faux mink lashes and body shimmer to highlight your collarbones and shoulders.

I am based in Bangalore but travel across India for weddings. If you have an event coming up, let us chat about how we can make your vision come to life.

## About Ayushi Bantia

I am Ayushi. My work is all about the art of less, enhancing your natural beauty rather than covering it up. My signature is a look that is a GLOW GETTER: softly smoked-out eyes and luminous skin that feels like you, just enhanced for your big evening.
