About Special Occasion Makeup
Moments That Matter
I’m Mahalakshmi, and I love being part of your special milestones - not just weddings, but naming ceremonies, seemantham, half saree functions, and those get-togethers where you want to look like yourself, but a little more polished.
Makeup Built to Last
Long events, crowded halls, happy tears... I know the struggles. My focus is on waterproof party makeup that won’t budge - not even if there’s a bit of sweating or a quick cry. No more checking the mirror every hour or worrying about lipstick marks on your coffee cup.
Styles for Every Celebration
I offer complete packages with both makeup and hairstyling:
- For seemantham or baby showers, I love doing traditional baby shower makeup that pairs well with silk sarees and gold jewellery.
- For new moms and naming ceremonies, I create a natural look for naming ceremony that’s both elegant and comfortable.
- Half saree events or birthdays, I make sure it’s age-appropriate but still has that festive shimmer.
- For parties or as a guest, you can go as glam or as simple as you like - even a simple guest makeup look that just enhances your features.
How I Work
Your ideas come first. I’ll listen, suggest, and we’ll figure out what suits you best - from a dewy makeup for family events, to bold eyes or a super minimal “no-makeup” look. I only use top brands, and I always test products on myself before they touch your skin.
If you say, “ishta aaytu” (I liked it), that’s all I need.

My Story
Hi, I'm Mahalakshmi! 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.
