About Special Occasion Makeup
My Makeup Vibe
I’m all about that ‘just right’ glow - not too extra, not too plain. I want you to feel like the best version of yourself, with a touch of something special. I usually have Bollywood music going in the background - sets the mood, makes the whole thing more fun.
Who I Work With
It’s not just for brides, yaar! I do makeup and hair for:
- Wedding guests and family
- All pre-wedding functions (Engagement, Haldi, Sangeet, Mehendi, Roka)
- Photoshoots (pre-wedding shoots are big)
- Receptions
The Look
My thing is making your features pop with makeup that looks good in person and in photos. I lean towards fresh dewy finish for events, but I can go soft glam party makeup or classic matte if that’s more your style. For eyes, I love glam and glitter for Sangeet or elegant reception makeup look, but I can keep it soft or even go bold with smokey eyes. Rhinestones, shimmer, whatever you want – bol diya toh ho jayega (if you say, it’ll be done).
Hair Game
From soft curls to messy braids, classic buns with gajra, or sleek ponytails, I match the hair to your vibe and outfit. Flowers, waves, all that filmy stuff.
Where I Work
I come to you - your house, hotel, wherever. Mostly Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, but I travel pan India if needed.

Hey, I'm Dharma Vaid from Mumbai! I’m a makeup and hair artist, but honestly, I’ll go wherever my brides need me.

I love helping brides feel like the best version of themselves, especially on their big day.
