About Special Occasion Makeup & Hair
Who I Love Getting Ready
If you're the sister, bridesmaid, mom, or just a guest who wants to look extra good, you’re my kind of people. I don’t just do bridal - I love making everyone in the wedding party or at any function feel special. Pre-wedding poojas, main events, or that post-wedding beegaroota, I’m there for it all.
What’s My Makeup Style
Most days, I’m all about that less is more glow. My go-to is natural bridesmaid makeup for that “is it makeup or just good skin?” type of vibe. But when the function calls for it, I can switch it up with a bold smokey eye for Indian weddings or a pop of statement lipstick. I want you to feel confident and like yourself, just a little extra.
Hair That Matches Your Mood
The look isn’t complete till your hair is on point. From simple curls to floral bun hairstyle ideas to classic South Indian braids with flowers, I can make it happen. For more complicated styles, sometimes I tag in my hair artist friends - team effort, always.
A Bit of My Roots
Being a kannadadahudugi (Kannada girl), I get the details behind traditional looks, whether it’s for a silk saree muhurtham or a glammed up lehenga. No matter your culture, I’m all about making you look and feel amazing, but never like someone else.
How I Work
I’ll show up wherever you need me, with my kit and lights, ready to get you party-ready. My top priority? Your comfort, no stress, and making sure you love the result.
