About this collection
I focus on 90-minute sessions for engagement looks, prioritizing a dewy, skin-like finish that holds up perfectly for close-up photos. Whether we are pairing your look with a traditional silk saree or a contemporary gown, I use luxury products like NARS and Huda Beauty to ensure you feel light, comfortable, and confident throughout your celebration.
My Approach to Engagement Makeup
Your engagement marks the start of the festivities, and I believe the makeup should mirror that excitement—fresh, light, and radiant. My approach is strictly 'less is more.' I avoid heavy, cakey layers, preferring to use premium serums and detailed skin prep to give you that natural, healthy glow that looks great in person and on camera.
The Process & Customization
We start by discussing your outfit, whether it's a vibrant Kanchivaram or a soft-toned lehenga, so the eye makeup and lip shades perfectly complement the colors you have chosen. The process is designed to be calm and collaborative.
Logistics & Travel
If we are working in my studio in Chamrajpet, or if I am traveling to your venue in Bangalore, Mysore, or Chikmagalur, I ensure the same level of care. My engagement package includes standard strip lashes, soft hair styling like blow dries or messy buns, and professional saree draping, all completed in a smooth, 90-minute window. I am also there to assist with your jewelry, ensuring your look is pulled together perfectly so you can focus on enjoying your special moments.
