About Bridal Makeup & Hair
My Approach
Bridal makeup is personal for me. I want you to look like yourself, just a bit more glowy and confident. I listen to what you want, whether it's a simple wedding day look or something bold. Your outfit, jewellery, and vibe matter - I try to make everything come together so you feel like the best version of yourself.
Looks for Every Event
- Pre-wedding shoots: I go for that sunkissed, natural bridal makeup. It photographs well and feels light.
- Sangeet & Mehendi: Dewy wedding skin, playful colours, and hair that survives all the dancing. Messy buns, soft waves, whatever suits your mood.
- Wedding ceremony: I can do classic, traditional Indian bridal look or something modern. Saree or lehenga, I match the makeup and hair to your style.
- Reception/Cocktail: Soft glam bridal hair or full-on drama - up to you. I love experimenting with evening looks.
What I’m Known For
- That glass skin glow - I’m obsessed with making skin look fresh and healthy.
- Versatility - I’ve done everything from minimal to high-fashion. If you want something specific, I’m up for it.
How I Work

Travel
Based in Mumbai, but I’m a destination wedding makeup artist. I travel anywhere for your big day. If you want me there, I’ll make it work.
