About Bridal & Special Occasion Makeup
I love being part of big days - weddings, engagements, or any reason to celebrate. For me, it's not just about makeup. It's about making you feel real good about yourself, and making sure you still look like you, just with that little extra glow.
My Style
I call myself 'Dusky me' because I'm all about creating natural bridal makeup, especially for dusky skin. I don’t believe in covering up who you are. Instead, I bring out your best features, so you walk out looking and feeling like yourself - just a bit more polished.
What I Handle
No need to run around for different people - I handle it all:
- Personalized makeup for your event
- Hair styling, from classic buns with mallige hoovu (jasmine) to soft waves
- Saree draping, with every pleat in place
For Every Occasion
Brides, bridesmaids, or guests - I’ve done looks for all sorts of events and traditions:
- South Indian Muhurtham look with silk sarees and temple jewellery
- North Indian glam with bold eyes and a nath
- Christian bridal - soft, glowing, timeless
- Even Bengali and other styles
Want something light for a party? I love giving that soft glam party makeup that still pops in photos.
My Techniques
Airbrush for a light, long-lasting waterproof makeup base (I’m Temptu certified), or HD for a camera-ready finish. I use only pro products like MAC and Huda, because skin care matters.
End of the day, my goal? You step out, full of confidence, santoshadinda (with happiness).
