About Bridal Makeup & Hairstyling
My Bridal Beauty Philosophy
I’m Aanchal, and honestly, nothing beats seeing a bride look into the mirror and love what she sees. My thing? Helping you see the best version of yourself, not someone hidden under layers of makeup. If you trust me with your bridal look, I promise it’ll feel like you - just dialled up with that “wow” glow.
How We’ll Work Together
- I always like to plan with you - sharing your saree, lehenga, or jewellery pics helps me match the vibe.
- My style is calm and fun, not rushed or stressful. I want you to feel pampered, not panicked.
- I’m all about that natural radiant bride look, but if you want glam, we’ll go there.
Makeup & Hair, Your Way
- My signature base is that glass skin bridal makeup - glowy, flawless, still skin.
- For eyes, it’s really up to you: classic muhurtham gold, bold smoky, or minimal wedding day makeup.
- Hair can be anything from a South Indian bridal braid with mallipoo (jasmine) to soft waves or messy buns with pearls.
Every Ceremony, Every Look
- Muhurtham: Traditional, elegant, bold lip and gold eyes, big braid with flowers.
- Reception/Cocktail: Glam, glowing skin, dramatic eyes, modern updo or styled open hair.
- Engagement: Soft glam engagement look, radiant skin, chic hair.
Quick Tips
- Stick to your skincare routine - it matters.
- Little emergency kit? Always a life saver.
- Let’s sync timings with your photographer so nothing gets rushed.

My Story
Hey, I'm Aanchal. For ages I chased love in all the wrong places, but turns out, loving myself was the real deal. I still remember that skydiving trip in 2016 - pure joy, pure freedom, like nothing else. That same feeling is what I want in my studio. When someone sits in my chair, it's not just makeup, it's a vibe. I want you to feel that 'wow' and know you look breathtaking, flaws and all.
