About Bridal & Event Makeup Artistry
What I Do
We help brides and their families feel their best on the big day. Our makeup isn’t just about looking good in photos - it’s about feeling comfortable through every ritual, from the first pooja to the last dance.
Makeup That Handles It All
I know Indian weddings can go on for hours and emotions run high. Our application is fully waterproof and transfer-proof, so don’t worry about happy tears or hugging relatives. Your look stays fresh from morning to night. If you want that filter-like finish, we offer HD airbrush makeup too.
Looks for Every Ceremony
We specialise in everything from traditional South Indian bridal looks (think classic saree, temple jewellery, and soft glam) to bold North Indian styles with smokey eyes and statement liner. Christian and engagement ceremonies get a more modern, simple engagement makeup vibe. I also take care of party and guest makeup, so your whole crew feels confident.
Hair & Saree Draping
We know your hairstyle and saree drape matter as much as your makeup. Whether you want a poola jada braid or a wavy bun, we’ve got it covered. Saree and lehenga draping make sure your outfit sits perfectly aagi (perfectly).
How I Work
Brides come to us trust maadi (trusting us), and we promise to listen. Whether you want natural bridal makeup or a bold statement, I make sure you’re comfortable and happy. Tumba khushi aagutte (makes me very happy) to see a bride smile at her own reflection.

My Story
Hi, I’m Sushma. Makeup artist, yes, but teaching is my real heart. Nanna students, from housewives to dancers, they come here with dreams. I get it – starting from scratch isn’t easy. I’m patient, maybe too patient, but I want every student to walk out confident. Graduation day, portfolio shoot, that smile on their face – adu nange saku (that’s enough for me). We learn, dance, laugh, it’s a family here.
