About Bridal & Special Occasion Makeup & Hair
My Approach
Makeup is all about making you feel like yourself, just more confident. I want you to look in the mirror and feel happy with what you see - no heavy layers or changing your features. I focus on natural bridal makeup and skin prep, so the glow starts from within.
What I Offer
- For brides, family, and even the groom - I do everything from engagement looks to reception styles.
- Party makeup & hair for your besties and family, so everyone shines.
- Groom styling that’s subtle and camera-friendly, not over the top.
Signature Glow-Up
I love a radiant look. My DN Signature Airbrush Makeup gives a flawless airbrush makeup base that lasts all day. Dewy wedding skin is my thing, and I keep everything feeling light and fresh. If you want glam, I’ll keep it real and not cake-y.
Hair & Saree Magic
Hairstyling options range from classic South Indian bridal hair with flowers to messy buns and curls. I do saree draping too - no fuss, stays put, and looks neat the whole day. Simple saree draping techniques, but I make sure it suits your style.
Traditions & Travel
Been doing this for years, across traditions - from muhurtham looks to nikah, sangeet, and North Indian weddings. You want sakkath (awesome) vibes? I’ve got you. Bangalore based, but I’ll travel anywhere for your destination wedding.

My Story
Hey, Divya here. Makeup is my therapy, not just my job. Been at it for 10+ years, from brides to students—each face tells a story. I learnt a ton from my mentor, Sir Kanan Raja Manickam, even travelled abroad for it. Now I run my own academy, and watching my students open studios? Best feeling ever. I do it all with 'tumba preetiyinda madtare' (lots of love)—that’s what clients say, and I guess it’s true.
