About this collection
Whether it is a specific cultural look like a traditional Nepali wedding or a vibrant makeover for a naming ceremony, my process stays the same. I prioritize understanding the unique jewellery and outfit requirements before we start, ensuring the foundation, eye makeup, and drape perfectly complement your personal features rather than following a standard, one-size-fits-all template.
Makeup Beyond Borders
My love for makeup goes beyond just one style. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with brides and clients from various cultural backgrounds. This experience has taught me how to adapt my techniques to suit different skin tones, facial features, and traditional requirements. Whether it is the intricate details of a Nepali bridal look or the classic elegance of a South Indian muhurtham, I enjoy the process of learning new traditions and translating them into a look that makes you feel confident.
More Than Just Weddings
While bridal work is my specialty, I also love being part of smaller celebrations. I frequently do makeup for naming ceremonies, birthdays, and baby showers. These events often call for a lighter, more glowing, or colorful look compared to a heavy bridal setting. If you have a specific vibe in mind, just let me know. I always recommend we discuss the event context and your outfit choice during our initial chat so I can plan the right products for the setting.
My Approach to Your Look
I believe makeup should enhance who you are, not cover it up. When you book me for your event, you get a full service including:
- Skin Prep: A full CTM routine so your skin stays hydrated and makeup looks fresh.
- Custom Color Matching: I don't use a single foundation shade for everyone. We blend to find your perfect match.
- Hairstyling: Whether it is a soft updo or traditional braids, I adjust the styling to suit your outfit.
- Professional Draping: If you are wearing a heavy silk saree or a lehenga, I ensure the pleats and pins are secure so you can move freely.
If you have a reference image, feel free to share it when we talk. I am happy to guide you on what will work best for your hair length and face shape. ❤️
