About Special Occasion Makeup
What I Do
Special occasions mean different things to everyone. For me, it’s about making you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin, whether you’re heading to a wedding, a baby shower, or another big day. I’ve worked with all ages and skin types, from college friends to amma (mom) and aunties.
My Style
I stick to what I believe works best - simple, subtle, and elegant. If you want that soft glam party makeup or prefer a no-makeup makeup look, I focus on highlighting what’s already beautiful about you. Heavy foundation and cakey layers are not my thing.
What’s Included
- Custom makeup picked for your event and outfit
- Hairstyling - from loose curls to classic braids with flowers or even just a neat ponytail
- Saree draping with makeup combo for that complete look
Occasions Covered
- Elegant guest look for weddings and parties - you’ll look put-together but never overdone
- Dewy maternity makeup for baby showers or Seemantha (I know how to keep it soft and fresh)
- Timeless makeup for mothers, so mature skin feels light and looks glowing
My Tools
I use trusted brands like LA Girl and PAC, and always go for waterproof so your look lasts all day. I keep learning new things because makeup keeps changing - and so do we.
