About Special Occasion Makeup & Hair
My Makeup Style
I believe makeup should just make you feel like a better version of yourself. No heavy filters, no editing - what you see in person is what you get. I’m all about that real, skin-like finish, whether you want a natural bridal makeup or a full-on glam vibe.
Special Moments, Sorted
I get you ready for all kinds of occasions:
- Engagements, receptions, cocktail nights, sangeet, festive events, or just being the star wedding guest.
- If you want a simple dewy party look or something more bold, I’ll make it happen.
- I love working with dusky skin tones and making them look zabardast (awesome) - no whitening, just celebrating your natural beauty.
Your Look, Your Rules
- Minimal, soft, or full glam - you decide.
- Not into fake lashes or heavy kajal? Cool, I’ll skip it.
- I listen to what makes you comfortable, so you actually enjoy the process.
Head-to-Toe Service
- Makeup that lasts through Mumbai’s humidity, works for all skin types (even textured or acne-prone).
- Soft glam hairstyle options: curls, waves, braids, updos, fresh flowers like gajra or roses.
- Traditional saree draping and lehenga styling, including Nauwari sarees, so your outfit stays put all day.
Calm Vibes Only
Getting ready can be chaotic, but I’m there to keep things chill. Most clients say I feel like a sister - I’ll help you stay calm, hydrated, and happy, and I’m quick with look changes (30-40 mins for hair, makeup, draping). My goal: you look in the mirror and feel like yourself, just extra fabulous.

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.
