About Photoshoot Makeup & Styling
My Approach: Skin, But Better
I believe makeup should feel like you, just a bit more glowy. My style is all about that natural, dewy makeup for photoshoots - no filters, no editing, just real skin. I work with all skin tones, and I especially love bringing out the beauty in dusky skin. Zabardast!
Photoshoot-Ready Looks
I get how Mumbai heat and studio lights can mess with makeup. My looks are built to last and stay flawless on camera. Whether it’s a pre-wedding shoot, fashion portfolio, or on-set for a production, I’ve got you covered.
From Minimal to Full Glam
We’ll chat about your vibe and outfit, then create a look that fits. My signature is the ‘glow from within’ - soft, non-cakey, and modern. If you want to go glam, I can do shimmery eyes or a full Sangeet look. I also do traditional Maharashtrian makeup for ceremonies. Not into lashes or kajal? No stress, I’ll skip it.
Hair & Drape Details
Hair matters! I do curls, waves, braids, updos, and buns. Love adding mogra or gajra (jasmine flowers) for that fresh flower hair styling. Saree or lehenga draping is part of my service, including heavy Navari sarees - I make sure it’s comfy and secure.
Your Shoot Buddy
Shoots can be hectic, I know. I’m there to keep things chill, work fast, and make sure you feel confident. Most clients say I’m like a sister on set, and honestly, that’s the best part of my job.

My Story
Honestly, nothing beats reading those sweet notes from my brides. Makes me all mushy, yaar! Makeup for me isn’t hiding, it’s just making you look like you, but glowing. I love those moments when we’re laughing, sharing stories, and it feels like two friends getting ready. Seeing a bride look in the mirror and still see herself—just a little extra shine—that’s what I live for.
My Work
Makeup, Hair & Saree Draping - I do natural bridal makeup, minimal wedding makeup, hairstyling, and saree draping for all occasions.
No-Makeup, Dewy Skin Looks - My style is skin-like, fresh, dewy—think glow-from-within, not layers of product.
Personalised for You - Not a fan of fake lashes? Want to keep your curls? We’ll chat till you’re sure and happy.
Maharashtrian & Other Bridal Styles - Love doing Maharashtrian bridal makeup, nauwari drapes, khopa hairstyles, plus South Indian and modern glam looks.
