About Engagement & Sakharpuda Celebrations
Whether you are draping a traditional Paithani for a Sakharpuda or wearing a modern gown for an evening party, the makeup technique must adapt to your outfit. I use HD and airbrush base applications precisely because engagement ceremonies involve long hours of close-up photography and mingling, ensuring your foundation stays flawless from the ring exchange to the final dance without looking heavy.
Engagement makeup is all about finding that middle ground. You want to look special, but you also want to look like yourself.
The 'Less is More' Approach
My philosophy is that your makeup should not mask your features; it should enhance them. For engagement looks, I prioritize skin prep to achieve that 'glass skin' glow that looks stunning in photos. We use pharmacy-grade products for hydration so your base sits perfectly throughout the ceremony.
Traditional vs. Modern Styling
Engagement ceremonies in Maharashtra can range from the traditional Sakharpuda—where we might incorporate a nath and authentic draping—to cocktail parties requiring a sleek, modern aesthetic. I specialize in both. If you are going for a traditional look, I focus on eye makeup that highlights your features while respecting the heritage of your saree. If you prefer a chic, modern vibe, we can experiment with shimmer lids, soft smokey eyes, or a winged liner that fits your outfit perfectly.
Why HD and Airbrush?
Engagement parties are often intimate but high-energy events. You will be meeting guests, posing for photos, and likely dancing. HD liquid finishes or Airbrush application are my go-to choices because they provide a sweat-resistant, long-wear finish. They ensure that even under bright venue lights, your skin looks smooth and radiant.
Planning Your Look
I travel to your venue across Mumbai, Pune, and Nashik, meaning you can get ready in the comfort of your own home or hotel. During our initial conversation, we will discuss your outfit, your comfort levels, and the overall vibe of your event so that when the day arrives, the look is exactly what you envisioned.

I am Shraddha, and I believe makeup should celebrate you, not change you. For engagements, I love mixing traditional elements like the nath or chandrakor with fresh, dewy skin to create a look that feels authentic and timeless.
