About Bridal Makeup
What I Do
I’m Arpitha Gowda, and I keep things simple, elegant, and real for brides. My approach is about making you feel comfortable in your own skin while helping you look your best. Most of my brides want their features enhanced, not hidden, so I focus on natural bridal makeup that won’t overwhelm you or your photos.
All Wedding Events, One Artist
I cover the entire wedding journey - from engagement, pre-wedding shoots, Haldi, Varapooje, the big Muhurtham, to the reception. Each function gets a look that fits the vibe. I love creating South Indian wedding looks for Muhurtham, and if you want something minimal for your engagement, we can totally do a subtle engagement makeup. For Haldi and Varapooje, I keep it fresh and bright, matching the mood. Reception makeup can go glam or stay classic, depending on your outfit.
What’s Included
- Waterproof bridal makeup that lasts through tears, sweat, and all-night dancing
- Hairstyles from floral buns to modern curls, with saree draping that stays put
- I use trusted brands like PAC, LA Girl, and Forever52 – nothing random
- Happy to travel anywhere around Bangalore, Tumkur, Mysore
My Style
I’m all for simple wedding day looks, but if you want bold or trendy, we’ll chat and decide together. I keep the process chill and will listen to what you actually want, not just what’s trending.
Let’s make your wedding look about you – not just the makeup.

My Story
Hey! I'm Arpitha Gowda, certified makeup artist, chilling in Bangalore but Tumkur is also my turf. Makeup for me is not about covering up, it's about making you feel fab, just as you are. I keep trying new hairstyles, sometimes they flop, sometimes they rock! What I love? That smile on a bride's face or making a mom-to-be glow for her Seemantha. Being part of your big days, that's my jam.
