Featured Professional Makeup Looks and Styling
Welcome to my portfolio! Here is a glimpse of the looks I love creating, from traditional Maharashtrian elegance to bold, modern editorial styles. I am always experimenting and would love to help you find your perfect vibe.
This is my signature airbrush makeup, perfect for a red carpet feel. The technique creates a flawless, long-lasting base that looks amazing in photos and stays put all night, paired here with a vibrant pink smokey eye and a sharp winged liner.
I love creating classic Maharashtrian traditional looks. This style features a warm, glowing base, defined eyes, a bold red lip, and is completed with traditional jewelry like the iconic *nath* (nose ring).
A timeless formal look featuring a deep green smokey eye. I used a matte base to keep the skin looking smooth and sophisticated, with a neutral lip color to ensure the focus remains on the dramatic eyes.
No traditional look is complete without the right hairstyle. Here is a classic low bun, beautifully adorned with a fresh *gajra* (jasmine garland) that adds elegance and a lovely fragrance.
A little glimpse into my process. Here, I'm creating a soft, traditional Maharashtrian look, from styling the hair with simple braids to applying the final touches of makeup.

This is my go-to for a soft and natural look. It’s all about enhancing your features with a light base, subtly defined eyes, and a natural lip tint for a fresh, polished finish.

What I Bring to Your Look
- Traditional Elegance: I specialize in authentic Maharashtrian styling. That means getting the details right, from the placement of the nath (nose ring) to the perfect chandrakor bindi and traditional saree draping styles.
- Editorial & Modern Glam: If you want something different, like a semi-cut crease, foxtail eyeliner, or a vibrant smokey eye, I love getting creative. These looks are perfect for portfolios, themed parties, or when you just want to stand out.
- Airbrush & HD Makeup: For major events where you need your makeup to hold up through dancing, heat, and selfies, I recommend my airbrush services. It creates a smooth, velvet-matte finish that does not budge.
I travel to your location within 20km of Pune, so you can get ready in the comfort of your home. If you are unsure what look suits your outfit or the event vibe, feel free to send me a message. We can chat about the options and find a style that makes you feel confident and happy.
