About Engagement & Cocktail Glam
For engagements and cocktails, I focus on balance, usually a dramatic eye paired with a flawless, long-wear base using products like Charlotte Tilbury or Dior. Whether you need your heavy engagement jewelry secured or hair extensions styled to perfection, I handle the technicalities so you can just enjoy the party.
Your engagement and cocktail parties call for a different energy than a wedding morning. I specialise in styles that stand out under night lighting, whether that is a sharp cut crease, a sultry smokey eye, or a glamorous, glossy look. My kit features luxury products from brands like Dior and Charlotte Tilbury to ensure your base remains flawless, flash-proof, and comfortable from the first photograph to the last dance.
I understand that engagement looks often need to hold their own against heavy, intricate lehengas and substantial jewelry. Because of this, my service includes detailed styling support that goes beyond just foundation and lipstick.
My approach includes:
- Secure Jewelry Fixing: I use professional adhesives and pinning techniques to ensure your heavy necklaces or maang tikka stay in place while you dance.
- Advanced Hairstyling: From mermaid waves to structural, pearl-studded updos, I design hair that complements your outfit and holds shape for the entire event.
- Customised Glam: Whether you prefer a bold 'Paramsundari' aesthetic with creative elements or a soft, radiant look, we will tailor the colours to match your specific outfit and vibe.
I am based in Mumbai, but I travel across India and globally for destination events. Let’s connect to review your look, discuss your outfit, and plan a style that makes you feel confident.
