Makeup is my thing, it's more than work for me. Love seeing brides come back for baby showers, feels like I’m family now. My son, Lil Krishna, keeps me busy when I’m not with my clients. I once wore a saree in Kashmir snow just for kicks! Life’s about small joys, like Varamahalakshmi pooja at home or sharing self-grooming tips with friends. ### My work - **Makeup for All Your Special Days**: I do bridal makeovers, pre-wedding, ring ceremonies, baby showers, naming ceremonies, and party looks. Self-grooming tutorials too. - **Signature South Indian Bridal Makeup**: Known for my South Indian Muhurtham look, but I also do soft glam bridal look or bold styles, whatever you want. - **Tear-Resistant and Waterproof Makeup**: Makeup won’t budge, even in tears or rain. I test every product on myself first. - **Family-Friendly Approach**: I want everyone happy, not just the bride. I listen, understand, and bring out your best. Seeing you smile is everything. ## Book To book Makeovers by Mahalakshmi, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'd%20like%20to%20book%20Makeovers%20by%20Mahalakshmi.)
