### My story

Hey, I’m Maitreyi. You know, most brides just want to look like themselves—maybe a bit extra radiant, but still real. I’m all about timeless soft glam, nothing OTT, just you feeling gorgeous and comfy. Won the WeddingSutra Award (still can’t believe it!), but honestly, the best bit is those little messages from families saying I kept it real. That’s what matters. I’ve worked everywhere from Delhi to Dubai, but making someone feel truly themselves? That’s the win.

### My work

- **Bridal, Sangeet, Mehendi & Reception Makeup**: I do every kind of bridal makeup, plus sangeet, mehendi glam, reception, and looks for the mother of the bride.
- **Timeless Soft Glam Style**: My thing is skin-focused, softly defined makeup. Real skin, real beauty. Not too much, not too little.
- **Personalized Process**: We chat first, look at your mood board, and figure out your vibe. Classic red, dreamy pastels, whatever feels like you.
- **Skin-First Technique**: No heavy layers, no harsh lines. I use buildable base products for that fresh, glowy look. Your face, just the best version.
