Special Event Makeup and Hair Styling in Bangalore
From stage performances at the Bangalore International Centre to creative editorial shoots, I love working on unique projects that go beyond traditional wedding styling.
A throwback to a very special project in 2019. I had the honor of doing the hair and draping for Manjari Chaturvedi, a renowned Sufi Kathak dancer, for her performance at the Bangalore International Centre.
About this collection
Performance and editorial makeup require a different approach than bridal looks because stage lights are intense and movement is constant. I use long-wear formulas and secure hair pinning techniques that keep everything in place whether you are dancing on stage or standing under studio lights, ensuring you stay camera ready from start to finish.
When I work on performance art, like my past collaboration with Kathak dancer Manjari Chaturvedi, the focus shifts to durability and expression. Stage lighting can easily wash out subtle makeup, so I use techniques that amplify your features while keeping them sharp for the audience. My experience ranges from traditional Sufi Kathak performances to high-energy ad film shoots, and I enjoy the process of tailoring a look to a specific artistic vision.
I pay close attention to hair security, using high-quality padding and pins so your style survives vigorous movement. For editorial and ad shoots, the goal is often versatility, creating a look that translates well on camera without looking heavy.
Whether you need a specific retro 1920s look for a shoot, performance makeup that handles sweat and spotlight heat, or something creative that breaks away from standard party norms, I am happy to collaborate. We can discuss the requirements of your event, the lighting conditions, and the duration of your performance to ensure your look stays flawless throughout the day.

I love the energy that comes with special projects and creative shoots. It is a refreshing change of pace from weddings, and I enjoy the challenge of adapting my techniques to suit the stage, the camera, or a specific artistic vision.
