About Special Occasion Makeup & Hairstyling
I love working with people on their big (and small) days. My thing is helping you look and feel your best at any event - not just weddings. Whether it's a cocktail party, a pooja at home, or a graduation, I’m all about natural glam party makeup that highlights what’s already there.
What I Do
- Full makeup and hairstyling for all kinds of occasions: parties, baby showers, housewarmings, you name it
- Styles to match both modern and traditional looks - soft glam event look or full-on bold if that’s your vibe
- I always start with your skin, so you get that signature dewy finish makeup for celebrations (or a matte look if you prefer)
- Airbrush makeup available for those who want their look to last all night (yaar, Bangalore humidity is no joke)
- Eyes and hair? We can go subtle, smoky, classic, or experiment a bit - it’s up to you
How We Get There
- Before your event, we chat about your outfit, jewellery, and what you actually want (no forced dramatic looks if you’re not into it)
- Hairstyles can be anything from elegant updos to simple festive hairstyle ideas, with fresh flowers or pearls if you like a little extra
- I’m based in Bangalore - you can come to my studio or I’ll come to your place (traveling in Bangalore traffic...I get it)
If you want your look to fit you (not the other way around) and last through all the selfies, I’m your person.

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.
