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. ## Highlights Browse through Arpitha Gowda's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/makeoverbyarpithakrishnappa/special-occasion-makeup/featured) - ![This is my signature soft glam look, perfect for a wedding guest or party.
