About Bridal Makeup & Hairstyling
Why I Love Bridal Makeup
Naan CJ. For me, makeup is not just work - it’s a journey I share with you and your family. When a bride trusts me for her big day and keeps calling me back for other family events, adhu thaan enaku romba special (that’s super special for me). I want you to feel calm, confident, and beautiful, not stressed.
Real, Minimalist Looks
Most brides tell me, ‘Akka, naan naana theriyanum, en skin tone-a maathidaadheenga’ (Sis, I want to look like myself, please don’t change my skin tone). I get it! My style is minimalist bridal makeup. I won’t hide who you are. I focus on true to skin wedding makeup – light, natural, and radiant, whether you want sutla (subtle) or bold.
Customized for Every Ceremony
- For your Muhurtham, I create a classic look that matches your Kanjivaram and gold jewelry – flawless skin, defined eyes, bold lips.

- For receptions, we can go glam or keep it glowing, your call.

My Story
Hey, naan CJ! Makeup is my uyir, not just a job. Even after becoming a mom, I never stopped—worked till three days before delivery, started again ten days later. Amma romba worried, but naan confident. Sometimes post-delivery, I feel down, like 'Nammalaala edhuvume panna mudiyalaiye' (can't do anything). But I look at my brides’ photos, and it lifts me. Seven months-la 25+ brides! The best part? Families trusting me for every event, year after year. If I can do it, yen ungalalayum mudiyaathu? (Why not you too?)
