Behind the Scenes: My Makeup Process & Vlogs
See what goes into creating your dream look. From setup to the final touch, here is how I get my brides ready for their special day.
My first vlog as a makeup artist. I take you along to a wedding in Chitradurga where the bride, Varshita, wanted me to recreate a specific brown-eyed look from a picture she sent. See how I matched the look and the final result.

About this collection
You might see a perfect wedding look in my gallery, but there is a whole setup behind it. Before I even pick up a brush, I focus on skin prep and understanding exactly what you want—whether you sent me a Pinterest reference or we are matching an eye color to your outfit. When you see me working, you are watching a process tailored to how your skin behaves under heat and stage lights, not just a one-size-fits-all routine.
My Process: More Than Just Makeup
When I travel to your venue—whether it is here in Chitradurga or across Karnataka—my priority is making you feel comfortable. I don't believe in hiding your features; I believe in enhancing them.
My routine starts with deep skin preparation because a long-lasting bridal look needs a solid foundation that survives humidity and bright stage lights. If you see me in my vlogs using NARS or Huda Beauty products, it is because I need quality bases that handle the heat during a long ceremony.
Why I Share My Process
I film my vlogs to show you that a transformation is a team effort. You will see me:
- Matching your vision: If you send me a picture, we aim for that. I look at your eye shape and outfit to tweak colors, like the specific brown or purple eyeshadows I used for my recent brides.
- Hair Architecture: Whether it is a messy bun for a Sangeeth or a traditional Jada for a Muhurtham, I use extensions and fresh flowers to build volume that stays secure through the dancing and rituals.
- Saree Draping: This is a technical skill. I ensure your Kanjivaram or designer saree is pleated and pinned so it doesn’t shift, letting you move freely.
Let’s Connect
Makeup is personal. When I am at your venue, I want to be someone you trust. My favorite feedback is when a bride’s family says, 'Thumbane ista aytu' (They really liked it). That connection matters more to me than just finishing a session. If you have a specific look in mind for your engagement, reception, or wedding, let's talk about how we can make it happen.
