About Special Occasion Makeup & Hairstyling
Special Occasion Looks, My Way
I love making people feel their best for big moments. From wedding squads to festival nights, I’m all about helping you shine but still feel like yourself. Not a fan of cakey layers or heavy contour - I’m big on that radiant skin finish. If you want dewy party makeup or a soft glam bridesmaid look, that’s basically my jam.
What I Do
- Makeup and hairstyling for weddings, pre-wedding events, festivals, birthdays, and any big party.
- Soft glam, bold matte, romantic pinks, warm tones - whatever suits you.
- Kohl eyes, shimmer, glitter (if you want that Desi Girl vibe).
- Dreamy waves, retro curls, elegant festive hairstyling, bubble braids, sleek buns, and updos. I’ll throw in florals if you’re into it.
For You & Your Crew
If you’re getting ready with friends or family, I can bring my team so everyone gets their moment. I’ll talk through what you want, suggest looks, and make sure it’s stress-free.
Bonus Touches
Every client gets a little touch-up kit for events - lipstick shade we used, blotting papers, pins, eyelash glue, mints. I know how long functions can get, toh thoda refresh ho jata hai (so you can freshen up a bit).
I don’t promise miracles - but I do promise you’ll look and feel great, without losing “you” in the process.

My Story
Hey, I’m Pooja. Most days you’ll find me with a coffee in one hand and a makeup brush in the other. Mumbai’s home, but my kit goes wherever you need me. Makeup isn’t just a job, it’s about those moments—like doing my mother-in-law’s Mahavir Janamvanchan look and seeing her beam. I’m always learning, always chasing that feeling when someone sees themselves and just glows. Festivals, weddings, random happy days—I’m here for all of it.
My Work
Makeup & Hairstyling for Every Event - Bridal, editorial, ad shoots, sangeet, mehendi, cocktail—if it’s special, I’m on it.
My Signature: Dewy Bridal & Soft Glam Looks - Love that radiant, flushed cheeks vibe. Natural festival makeup or full Desi Girl glam, your call.
Transformation Moments - Best bit? That post-glam glow and smile. The before-and-after is what I live for.
Touch-Up Kit Included - Blotting paper, powder, lipstick—so you can dance, eat, celebrate without worrying about your makeup.
