About Professional Makeup Artistry
I’m Aashika, a professional makeup artist from namma Bengaluru. For me, makeup shouldn’t make you look like someone else. It’s about showing your real self, just with a little more style and confidence. I don’t hide texture or pimples with heavy editing - what you see in my work is what you’ll get in person. No fake promises, only real skin makeup techniques.
Makeovers For Every Moment
- Full bridal and wedding makeovers (including traditional South Indian bride looks)
- Party, festival, and event makeup
- Photoshoots and celeb-style glam, with options for minimal glam for photoshoots too
Bridal, But Make It You
I get how special your big day is - my favorite makeovers are for brides who want to look stunning but still feel like themselves. Whether it’s a classic Kanjeevaram saree or a soft glam wedding look, I work with all skin types and tones, even if you have acne bumps or vitiligo. Usually, I team up with talented hairstylists for a full look.
No Drama, Just Real
Clients ask for everything from bold blue winged liner to the always-in-demand natural bridal makeup. I use pro products only (MAC, NARS, Huda, etc.) but keep things comfortable, not cakey. Swalpa simple, swalpa glam (a little simple, a little glam), always honest.

My Story
Hey, welcome to Glitter & Glow! My studio’s my happy corner, makeup is not just work for me – it’s how I vibe. I’m all about keeping it real, like I say, pimple bumps toh normal hai (pimple bumps are normal) – no heavy filters, no fake edits. I get to doll up brides and celebs, even at SIIMA awards! But teaching makeup, over 1200 students so far, that’s a different kind of magic. Life gets busy, sometimes I pause offline classes, but my love for makeup? Always on.
