About this collection
When you are in the middle of a Muhurtham or a Havan, the last thing you need is your makeup smudging from the heat. I use specific layering techniques for our traditional events, ensuring your foundation stays put and your heavy Kanchipuram silk saree pleats stay sharp throughout the entire ceremony.
Authentic South Indian styling is more than just applying products. It is about the harmony between your heavy temple jewelry, the vibrant colors of your Kanchipuram saree, and the makeup base. My approach focuses on keeping your skin breathable while ensuring the look lasts for 10+ hours of rituals.
I pay close attention to the details that matter:
- Heat-Resistant Base: I use sweat-proof HD foundation specifically designed to withstand the heat from wedding fires and long hours under stage lights.
- Traditional Hairstyling: Whether you need a long, thick braid (Savari) or a classic bun, I use professional hair padding to ensure your flowers and jada billalu remain secure and in place, no matter how many times you move.
- Jewelry Setting: I ensure your Maang Tikka and heavy necklaces are pinned securely to your saree or hair, preventing any discomfort or shifting during your functions.
My studio is located in Rajajinagar, and I travel across Bengaluru for all events. I work with what you have to enhance your natural features, rather than changing them. Whether it is a simple housewarming or your wedding day, I am here to help you get ready with a style that feels like you.
