About Special Occasion Makeup
My Approach
Makeup with me is not about changing your face, but about bringing out the best version of you. I always try to keep things real - if you want soft glam party makeup or something bold, I’ll make sure you still look like yourself. I’m all about that glowy, natural vibe - no cakey layers, just skin that feels like yours.
What Happens in My Chair
- We'll chat about your event, outfit, and what kind of mood you want - I’ll never force a look on you.
- I use only clean and pro-grade products, because hygiene is non-negotiable for me.
- I never rush. If you want tiny rhinestones or a quick bun, I’ll take the time to get it right.
- Dewy engagement makeup is my jam, but I can also dial up the drama with bold eyes or bling if that’s your thing.
Styles I Love Creating
- Soft glam with rosy cheeks and glossy lips
- Smokey eyes, vibrant colour pops, or camera-ready makeup for celebrations
- Traditional or quirky looks for sangeet, Navratri, roka - even a fresh, simple glow for family functions or baby showers
Hair & Final Touches
I do hair too, from wavy curls to sleek buns, so your whole look comes together without stress.
Why I Do This
My goal is simple - when you see yourself after, you should feel like the main character. If you walk out feeling more confident, I know I did my job. And haan, if you want embellishments or a little sparkle, just tell me - I love adding that extra touch.

My Story
Hi, I’m Karishma. Been in the makeup game for 7 years, trained with legends like Shradha Luthra and Aarushi. For me, makeup is about celebrating you, not hiding you. There’s nothing like seeing a bride’s real smile in the mirror—that’s why I do this. Festivals at home, like Ganpati, keep me grounded. Family, tradition, and those little joys inspire how I work and connect with my clients.
