About Special Occasion Makeup
My Approach
I want every woman at a celebration to feel like she’s glowing, not just the bride. I keep my makeup looks soft, radiant, and always tailored to you - nothing too heavy or cakey. Think of it as giving your skin a fresh, moonlit vibe that lasts from the first selfie to the final dance.
Who It’s For
- Bridesmaids and the bridal tribe - I create looks that work together, but let each of you show off your own personality.
- Mums, sisters, and aunties - I know how to bring out natural elegance, especially for mature skin, so you look graceful and feel comfortable.
- Guests at sangeet, receptions, ceremonies - I’ll help you match your makeup to the occasion and outfit, and make sure you walk in feeling confident.
- Anyone heading to a milestone birthday, anniversary, or party - I’ll work with you to get the vibe you want, whether it’s subtle or bold.
Signature Style
My most requested look is soft glam party makeup. I usually start with a dewy, skin-like base, then play up the eyes with shimmer and fluttery lashes. Lips - think muted rose or soft berry, nothing too shouty unless you want to dial it up.
Tailored To You
Some prefer a simple, natural makeup for sangeet or day events; others want a bit of sparkle for evening. I’ve got plenty of experience matching looks to traditional sarees and lehengas too - I know how to keep it classy, not OTT (over the top).
Hair & Styling
I’m all about makeup, but I work with pro hairstylists who know their stuff. So whether it’s messy waves, floral braids, or a sleek bun, we’ll get your whole look sorted.
