About Bridal Makeup & Hairstyling
My Style: Minimal, Dewy and Real
I’m all about that minimalist bridal makeup look - dewy, skin-like, nothing too cakey. I want you to feel like yourself on your wedding day, just a bit more glowy and confident. No heavy layers, just your best features brought out.
South Indian Traditions, Modern Vibe
For Muhurtham, I love both ends of the spectrum - bold red lips with classic Kanjivaram saree or that subtle, natural bridal makeup look without false lashes. I’m pretty handy with South Indian bridal hairstyling too - if you’re dreaming of a floral braid, a classic bun, or even the Andal Kondai for Iyengar weddings, I’ve got you.
Every Event, Every Mood
- Engagements: Soft, radiant, simple. Dewy wedding makeup is my go-to.
- Receptions: We can go classic or experiment with a soft glam reception look, updo or open waves.
- Mehendi & Sangeet: Playful, long-lasting, made for dancing.
- Varpooja and pre-wedding ceremonies: Always traditional and fuss-free.
My Comfort Zone
I’ve worked with Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Brahmin brides. Doesn’t matter your skin type or texture - I believe all skin is beautiful. We can go HD or Airbrush, up to you.
My job is to make you feel comfortable and beautiful, without making you feel like someone else.

My Story
Hey, I’m Swarna from Bangalore. Makeup for me is simple - keep it real, keep it you. I’m all about that minimalist vibe, especially for South Indian brides. Nothing beats that moment when a bride sees herself, glowing and still totally herself. I love being part of big days, giving you that dewy look for muhurtham or reception. It’s not just makeup, it’s a celebration of you.
