About Theatrical and Performance Makeup
What I Do
Makeup isn’t just about looking pretty - for me, it’s about turning you into whoever you need to be on stage or in front of the camera. I love using makeup to help you really become your character, whether it’s for a dance show, Navratri festival, or mythological photoshoot. Honestly, it’s the best thing seeing someone walk out looking like the goddess or hero they imagined.
Special Focus: Goddess Makeovers
My main thing is goddess transformations, especially for stage and cultural events. If you want a full-on Goddess Kali transformation makeup (body paint, bold colors, dramatic eyes), I’m all in. For more traditional roles like Lakshmi, I do detailed work with precise eyeliner, forehead art, and I know how to match your look with South Indian temple jewellery styling and kireetam (crown) so you really shine.
Where My Makeup Fits In
I work with dancers, actors, and groups, especially for:
- Navratri performance look
- Stage shows
- Mythological photoshoots
- Group performances (I’ll make sure your whole squad matches!)
How I Work
I pay attention to every little detail, using fine brushes and a lot of patience. I get that it’s not just the makeup - it’s the costume, accessories, and the whole vibe. I’m here to help you look authentic, not just painted up.

My Story
Hey, I’m Amrutha. Makeup and hairstyling grabbed me early, so I made it my job. Certified, yes, but more than that, it’s about the happiness when someone sees themselves all dolled up. Brides on their muhurtham, moms glowing at a naming ceremony – these moments mean everything. I get to do what I love every day, and honestly, it still feels unreal sometimes.
My Work
Makeup & Hairstyling for All Events - I do bridal makeovers for muhurtham, reception, party makeup, photoshoots, and Devi makeovers.
South Indian Traditional Styles - I’m big on South Indian looks, like traditional braid hairstyle, messy buns, and elegant curls.
Natural Glow for Every Skin - Love working with all skin types, even mature skin, to get that natural glow makeup.
Personalised for Your Occasion - Whether it’s wedding, varapooja, baby shower, or family event, I’ll match your look to your vibe.
