Custom Hair and Makeup for Pre-Wedding Functions
Your wedding is a series of celebrations, and each event deserves a unique look. I create custom makeup and hair for your engagement, sangeet, mehendi, and haldi ceremonies, matching the style to the theme of each day.

A soft and romantic engagement look. I created a subtle smokey eye with a nude-pink lip and styled her hair in gentle curls to complement her beautifully embellished lavender saree.

About Pre-Wedding Festivities
For daytime events like haldi or mehendi, I focus on breathable, sweat-resistant bases that keep your skin looking fresh without feeling heavy. I ensure the colors do not fade under the bright outdoor sun, so you can enjoy your ceremony while looking radiant in every photo.
Every function in your wedding itinerary has a different vibe. Your engagement might call for an elegant, soft-glam look with classic waves, while your sangeet demands something more durable and vibrant to hold up through hours of dancing. I help you plan these looks so they complement your outfit changes without requiring a full overhaul each time.
My approach for pre-wedding functions is to use high-quality, long-wear brands like Charlotte Tilbury and MAC to ensure your makeup lasts through long rituals and outdoor lighting. For mehendi and haldi events, I prioritize a radiant, dewy finish that stays intact even if you are outdoors or moving around. For sangeet and cocktail nights, we can dial up the intensity with bolder eye makeup and more structured hairstyles that stand out under stage lights.
I handle everything from the initial prep and skin hydration to the final draping of your saree or dupatta. If you have specific hair extensions or jewelry you want to use, I will integrate them securely into your hairstyle so you do not have to worry about adjustments throughout the event. Based in my Sion studio in Mumbai, my team and I are ready to travel to your venue, whether you are hosting your event locally or planning a destination wedding anywhere in India.
