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. ## Highlights Browse through Arpitha Gowda's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/makeoverbyarpithakrishnappa/bridal-makeup/featured) - ![This is the classic South Indian bridal look I love to create.
