Glam for Family & Friends Makeup
Beautiful, natural makeup for mothers, sisters, and bridesmaids. I ensure everyone looks radiant and feels comfortable throughout the celebration.
This is a perfect example of an elegant and simple look for a family member. For Anusha, attending her brother's muhurtham, we did a neutral makeup look that enhanced her features without feeling heavy.
I love creating these soft, romantic hairstyles. A loose, textured braid is perfect for a guest who wants something traditional yet modern, and it works beautifully with this kind of silk saree.
For her sister's reception, Aruna wanted a bold and glamorous look. We chose a classic red saree and paired it with a sleek hairstyle and defined, smoky eyes for that perfect Bollywood-inspired party look.
The 'Pellikuturu' or pre-wedding ceremony is so special. For Mahima, we chose this stunning emerald green lehenga and I created a fresh, dewy makeup look to match, making her glow for her sister's event.
It's so much fun when family members get ready together. Here are two beautiful co-sisters I did makeup for. We coordinated their looks for the Mangala Gowri pooja so they both looked festive and elegant.
It was a joy to do the makeup for this brother and sister duo. The sister wanted a classic look for her brother's wedding, and we also did a sharp, clean grooming look for the groom to make sure he was camera-ready.
A happy smile is the best accessory. This client wanted a very natural and minimal look, and I was so happy to see how her whole face lit up when she saw the final result.
This look is all about fresh, natural beauty. We paired a simple, elegant braid with minimal makeup and a bold lip, which is a great choice for a guest at a daytime wedding event.
A closer look at this soft and pretty guest makeup. The messy, romantic braid adds a touch of modern style to the traditional green silk saree, perfect for any wedding celebration.
This client is getting ready for a party in a gorgeous green sequin saree. I created a soft glam look with a messy updo to complement her outfit, making sure she felt elegant and ready to celebrate.
About Glam for Family & Friends
Getting ready as a group is one of my favourite parts of the day because it sets the mood for the entire event. I prioritize skin prep to ensure a natural finish that stays put, so you don't have to worry about looking heavy or feeling like you are wearing a mask in photos. Whether you need soft glam for a reception or a traditional look for a pooja, my focus is on ensuring you feel like yourself, just polished and radiant.
My Approach to Group Styling
When I work with family and friends, I avoid the one-size-fits-all approach. My goal is for everyone to feel comfortable. We start with a consultation where I understand what you are wearing and what your comfort level with makeup is. If you prefer a 'Minimal Glam' style, I focus on a skin-like finish using high-quality products like MAC, PAC, or Kryolan. If you prefer something more defined, we can build that up with deeper eye makeup or a bolder lip.
The Process
- Skin Prep: Every session begins with proper cleansing and priming. This is the secret to makeup that lasts through long wedding ceremonies and outdoor events in Karnataka.
- Coordinated Looks: If you are a bridesmaid or close family member, I can coordinate your makeup and hair to match the bride's theme without stealing the spotlight.
- Hair Styling: From elegant updos to loose, romantic curls, I style your hair to complement your outfit and the specific event, be it a Sangeeth or a formal wedding ceremony.
Practical Tips for Bookings
- Travel: I travel across Karnataka, including Bengaluru, Davanagere, and Mysuru. For group bookings, it is helpful to provide a rough timeline so we can ensure everyone is ready on time.
- Outfit Readiness: Please have your outfits ironed and ready to go. It makes the draping process much smoother and saves time.
- Jewelry: If you are unsure about how to style your jewelry, let me know. I can often help with placement or suggest simple ways to secure your Maang Tikka or heavy earrings so they stay comfortable all day.
