Featured Makeup Styles & Looks
A curated collection of my work, ranging from traditional South Indian bridal looks to modern, glamorous party styles.
A radiant smile for an engagement ceremony. This classic South Indian look features a flawless base, defined eyes, and a joyful red lip, perfectly complementing the vibrant silk saree and traditional temple jewellery.
The perfect cocktail party glam. This look is all about a dramatic, classic smokey eye balanced with a soft nude lip. The side-swept curls add a touch of Hollywood elegance, ideal for an evening celebration.
Watch the transformation for this gorgeous Roka ceremony look. We went from a fresh face to full glam with vibrant pink eyeshadow and a matching lip, creating a dewy, celebratory look that shines.
For her daughter's baptism, this client wanted a very natural, "no makeup" makeup look. I focused on evening out her skin tone and adding a soft definition to her eyes and a hint of colour to her lips, paired with simple waves for an elegant and understated result.
A stunning reception look featuring a shimmering silver lehenga. I created a bold red lip and a clean, high ponytail to keep the focus on her and the intricate outfit, ensuring she looked chic and modern.
A personal moment from my own baby shower. I chose a traditional South Indian look with a beautiful green KSIC Mysore silk saree, temple jewellery, and soft, glowing makeup to celebrate this special milestone.
A close-up on the details. This engagement makeup features soft, shimmery eyeshadow, perfectly winged eyeliner, and full lashes to make the eyes pop, all while keeping the overall look fresh and radiant.
A happy client reveal for her engagement. This video shows the final "no makeup" makeup look, featuring subtle eye makeup, a pretty pink lip, and simple beach waves, exactly as she requested.
About Featured
My makeup process always starts with a conversation. Whether you need a subtle, natural glow for a daytime event or a full-glam look for an evening reception, I listen closely to your vision to ensure the final result highlights your features rather than masking them.
I believe makeup is about confidence, not just color. In this gallery, you will see a mix of looks I have created for engagements, cocktail parties, and traditional events like Muhurtham and Varapooje. I am deeply inspired by my training under Manjeet Khehra, and I bring that precision to every client.
For my brides, I specialize in the balance of traditional aesthetics and modern technique. I use high-performance products like Estee Lauder, NARS, and Charlotte Tilbury to ensure your makeup lasts through long rituals, whether you are under harsh stage lights or outdoors. I also pay close attention to your hair, whether you need traditional braids with fresh gajra or soft Hollywood waves.
If you are worried about your skin, know that I work with various skin types and textures to create a smooth, long-wear base. My goal is always to make you feel like the best version of yourself. I am based in Bangalore but I love traveling for destination weddings across India. Let's chat about your specific style needs.
