About Bridal Makeup & Hair
My Philosophy: Real Skin, Real You
I believe in making you look like yourself, just a little extra special. Whether you want a natural bridal makeup look or full glam, I’m all about skin that looks like skin - not a mask. You’ll see your best features pop and still recognise yourself in the mirror.
What to Expect on Your Wedding Day
Your makeup has to last through all the madness - sweat, hugs, happy tears. My products and techniques keep everything in place for 12+ hours. I focus on a real-skin finish, so you look flawless both on camera and in person. No filter needed for those Insta close-ups.
Styles for Every Bride
- South Indian: Bold muhurtham lips or a soft, minimal wedding day look with fresh flowers in your hair - your call.
- Christian: Classic pink smokey eyes, soft lips, neat updos, tiaras or pearls for that dreamy vibe.
- Bengali: Eye-catching wings, glitter, bold red lips, and the traditional Kalka for that perfect balance.
- Muslim: From subtle Nikah elegance to glittery Walima glam, complete with soft curls and statement hair accessories.
- Reception/Engagement: Glamorous smokey eyes, colourful pops, messy braids, or whatever you imagine.
Real Talk
Makeup can’t erase real skin - fine lines, pores, texture are all normal. I enhance, not hide. If you want a smooth finish for acne-prone skin or need bridal makeup for dusky skin, I plan for that.
Customised for You
Certified and passionate, I love working on mature skin, matching undertones, and even makeup for hooded eyes. If you have requests or concerns, I’m all ears. Every bride's happiness is what matters most to me.

My Story
Hey, I’m Bhavika. Honestly, makeup is my jam - I could talk about it all day! Teaching is close to my heart, but nothing beats seeing someone’s face light up after a session. Once, a bride’s aunt trusted me with her makeup after 30 years - that trust, wow, it’s everything. From bridal looks in Bangalore to heading makeup for a Kannada movie, I just want you to feel great, inside and out. Family, friends, clients - their love keeps me going.
