About Special Occasion Makeup & Hair
I get a real kick out of helping people get ready for the big moments that aren’t their wedding day. If you’re looking to feel your best at your friend’s shaadi, your baby shower, or even a family function, I’m here for all that. It’s not just about looking good, but feeling like yourself—just a bit extra.
What’s Included
- All kinds of special events—engagements, birthdays, housewarmings, naming ceremonies, you name it.
- We’ll work together to find your perfect vibe, whether that’s a simple, subtle look or going full-on bold. I do everything from the “no-makeup” look to a soft glam makeup look, and if you want drama, we’ll bring on the glitter.
- Hair’s always included. You want classic curls, neat updos, or a traditional braid with gajra (fresh flowers)? I’ve got you. Accessories are sorted, from flowers to modern clips.
My Approach
- I listen—no cookie-cutter stuff here. You tell me what you like, I’ll make it work with your outfit and mood.
- Most of my clients trust me to get it right, often without any trial. That trust means a lot.
- I travel across Bangalore to get you ready at home or at your venue. No traffic stress, just relax and let’s get you event-ready.
You bring your stories, I’ll bring the brushes. Let’s make your special day look just right.

My Story
Hi, I'm Usha Gopal. Makeup and hair is my way of joining your celebrations, big or small. I get to meet brides for their muhurtham, moms at naming ceremonies, and folks who want all-out color or just a simple glow.
