About Bridal & Wedding Makeup
My Makeup Philosophy: Real, Not Filtered
I just don’t believe that bridal makeup has to feel like a mask. My thing is natural bridal makeup that lets your skin breathe. You should feel like you, only more luminous. No cakey layers - just a fresh, dewy skin bridal look that you’ll love in your photos and in person.
Looks for Every Ceremony
Your wedding isn’t just one event. From mehendi to pheras, every function brings its own vibe:
- Engagement: Subtle, glowing skin, a bit of soft glam wedding look to keep it elegant.
- Sangeet: Think clean base, a touch of shimmer or something bold if you want to go full ‘Desi Barbie’ mode.
- Mehendi & Haldi: I’m all for playing with colour here! Vibrant or soft, we’ll find what suits you and your outfit.
- Traditional bits like lagan lakhvanu or mayera? I do custom looks for those too.
The Main Day
For pheras, I go for that timeless minimal wedding makeup - breathable skin, soft brown smokey eyes, and nothing heavy. Reception is where we can dial up the glam if you want. Either way, I make sure your makeup lasts through happy tears and dancing.
How I Work
Skin prep is non-negotiable. I take time to cleanse, hydrate, and use a jade roller for that glow-from-within base. Products are top notch (Dior, Charlotte Tilbury, Rare Beauty). No rushing, just careful layering for a real-skin finish that stays put.
Travel? Always!
Based in Mumbai, but I’ll travel anywhere in India for your big day. Even if it means waking up at 3:30 AM - I’m all in for you.

My Story
Hey, I’m Urja. You know that moment a bride sees herself and goes, ‘Arre, I look so pretty!’ – that’s my jackpot, every time. I’m not here for those 10-layer makeup dramas. I like makeup that breathes, feels like your own skin, and lets your real self shine through. For your pheras, sangeet, whatever – my job is to make you feel like the main character, unfiltered, no heavy stuff. Makeup should tell your story, not hide it.
