About

Making a bride feel beautiful is honestly the best part of my work. Nothing beats seeing someone all ready in her Kanchipuram saree, jewellery sparkling, just beaming before her wedding. Being told “Tumba chennagi makeup madiddira” (makeup is done very well) by the family - that gives me a real sense of pride.

Looks for Every Wedding Function

I do bridal makeup and hair for all wedding events:

• For the wedding ceremony, I’m all about that classic South Indian bridal look, with attention to every detail.
• Receptions get a different vibe - we can go glam or keep it simple, totally your choice.
• Engagement, Mehendi, Sangeet - these are fun, so I like to keep it fresh and colourful.
• Christian weddings, I go for an elegant, timeless finish to match the gown and veil.
• If you have a beegara oota (post-wedding feast), I can help you get ready for that too.

My Approach

Comfort comes first, always. Some brides want natural bridal makeup, others prefer a bold look. I listen and adjust. I focus on a long-lasting bridal base that holds up through tears, laughter, and photos. No filters needed. I’ve worked with all skin tones and believe makeup should enhance, not cover.

Hair Styling Matters Too

Hair ties the whole look together. I do traditional styles like muhurtham jadai (bridal braid) with real flowers, especially jasmine if you want that classic touch. For receptions or sangeets: soft curls, waves, or simple updos. Whatever matches your outfit and mood.
