About Bridal Makeup and Styling
My Approach
Makeup isn’t just 'oru paint adikira velai' (just painting your face) for me. I see it as a way to bring out your real self, not hide it. I want your skin tone to shine through, just enhanced a bit, so you feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day.
Brown Skin, Real Looks
I get how tough it is to find products that suit our skin. That’s why I call myself a brown skin expert. My thing is radiant, dewy wedding makeup look that feels light and lasts all day. If you say 'Base heavy aa venda' (don’t want a heavy base), I’m with you. I keep it natural, never cakey.
Eyes That Speak
Most brides come to me for my sculpted eye makeup for brides. Whether you want your eyes to look bigger or just want them to pop, I use liners, kohl, and shadows to match your vibe. Soft smokey, bold glitter, or something in between - we’ll find what suits you.
Bridal Styling for Every Ceremony
From classic gold eyes and red lips for Madisar drapes to minimal wedding day makeup for Christian weddings, I tailor every look. I work with Tamil, Telugu, Kannadiga, and more - each look matches your tradition and personality.
Hair & Saree Draping
No bridal look is complete without the right hair and drape. My team handles everything - from malli poo (jasmine) braids and temple jewellery to messy buns and ponytails.
How We Work
‘Engaloda profession-la’ (in our profession), your happiness comes first. I listen, I adapt, and I travel - Chennai, Bangalore, anywhere in South India. Most brides trust me without a trial, and I make sure your vision comes alive.

My Story
Hi, I'm Shwetha. Been doing makeup for 6+ years and honestly, finding shades that work on brown skin? Oru periya struggle (such a big struggle). That's why my kit is always full of real, inclusive products. People think makeup is just 'paint adikira velai' (just painting), but for me, it's pure art. Nothing beats seeing a bride's face light up when she sees herself - that's why I do this!
