About Special Occasion Makeup & Hairstyling
About My Approach
I love working with women on their big days and small celebrations. Whether it's your baby shower, a family wedding, or just a party with friends, I want you to walk in feeling confident and walk out feeling like the best version of yourself.
What I Offer
I do both makeup and hairstyling, so you don't have to juggle multiple people or bookings. We'll chat about your outfit and the vibe you want - no cookie-cutter looks here. I travel anywhere in Bangalore, so you can get ready at home or at your venue.
Types of Events
- Baby showers (sreemantham): I usually go for radiant baby shower makeup and a classic poola jada (braid with flowers) - it's the kind of look that suits photos and tradition both.
- Wedding guest & family: For a traditional saree hairstyle, I like a neat bun with a gajra. If you want something more modern for a reception, we can do soft waves or a sleek ponytail.
- Pre-wedding shoots: I keep it real - makeup that looks good in person and on camera, whether you want a natural event makeup or something a bit more glam.
- Festive parties: Simple party makeup look, vibrant colours, and hair that stays put while you dance.
My Commitment
I keep learning new stuff, so you're getting fresh techniques - not just what's trending but what actually works for you. Seeing you smile when you look in the mirror is why I do this.
