About Special Occasion Makeup & Hair
My Style: Flawless, But Still You
I like to keep things real - makeup should feel like your skin, just a little bit better. My focus is on giving you confidence, not hiding who you are. You'll look good in person and in pictures, no filter needed.
How I Work
- I start by noticing your best facial feature. We highlight that, and keep the rest soft and minimal.
- My technique uses layers, but never feels heavy. You won’t get that caked-on look.
- I won’t promise miracles - fine lines and skin texture are normal and I don’t believe in masking them. The goal is to enhance, not hide.
Special Occasions, Every Kind
Whether it’s a wedding you’re attending, a baby shower, or festival season, I’ve got you. I do minimalist party makeup for Diwali, subtle looks for maternity shoots, and full glam if you want it. If you want a 'barely there' vibe or a soft glam hair and makeup combo, just say the word.
Makeup for Mature Skin
I love working with mature skin. Natural mature skin makeover is my jam, and I know how to get that glow without makeup settling into lines. Some of my favourite work has been with older clients who trusted me to make them feel good.
Hair Included
Hairstyling comes with every booking. Soft curls, messy buns, updos - we’ll pick what suits you and your outfit best.
Pro Tip
If you’ve got hooded eyes, try a higher crease shadow and keep liner thin. Trust me, it lifts your whole look.

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.
My Work
Makeup and Hair Services - Bridal & party makeovers, hair styling, fashion shoots, actor portfolios, face painting, plus makeup education.
Minimal Bridal Makeup - Love creating flawless, skin-like, dewy looks that work in daylight or studio lights. Full glam when needed!
Mature Skin Specialist - I enjoy working with mature skin. Minimal, confident, natural daylight makeup is my thing.
Honest Makeup Advice - I’ll tell you straight - makeup can’t erase texture or lines, but I’ll make your best features pop.
