Engagement and Reception Makeup Services
From bold, modern looks for your reception to soft, radiant styles for your engagement, I create makeup that feels light and looks flawless. Here is a glimpse of how I style my brides for these special occasions.
This reception look is all about modern glamour. The video shows the details of the glossy makeup, the intricate embroidery of the lehenga, and a soft hairstyle, creating a stunning look for the evening celebration.

About this collection
For engagement and reception looks, I prioritize skin that breathes. I use long-lasting HD products like MAC and Kryolan that handle flash photography and stage lights perfectly while feeling light on your skin. Whether you want a sharp, modern cut-crease for your reception or a soft, dewy glow for your ring ceremony, I adjust the techniques so your look stays fresh throughout your entire event.
Your engagement and reception are distinct from traditional muhurtham ceremonies, giving us more room to experiment with modern styles. I focus on techniques that work well for evening lighting, ensuring your makeup does not look cakey or flat.
My Approach to Styling
If you are going for a bold reception look, we can do defined smokey eyes or glitter finishes with reusable 3D mink lashes. If you prefer a subtle engagement look, I focus on dewy, fresh skin with minimal color. I also include cosmetic contact lenses to enhance your overall look.
Hair and Draping
I do not just stop at makeup. I handle saree pleating and lehenga draping so you can walk and sit comfortably without worrying about your outfit coming loose. I use rust-free pins for heavy silk fabrics to keep everything stable. For hair, I offer everything from Hollywood waves and textured ponytails to neat, elegant buns. If you have clip-in extensions, I can integrate them seamlessly for added volume.
Logistics
I am based in Bangalore and travel to venues across the city for bookings. During our consultation, please tell me if you have skin sensitivities or specific product preferences. My goal is to make sure you feel like yourself throughout the celebration, not someone you don't recognize. Packages start at ₹7000 and cover HD makeup, hairstyling, and draping.
