About Bridal & Special Occasion Makeup
My Approach: Real Beauty, Real You
Mera manna hai (I believe) makeup should highlight what’s already there. I want you to feel like yourself—just the happiest, most confident version—on your big day. It’s not about copying a celebrity or following a viral trend. Yeh din sirf aur sirf aapka hai (this day is only yours), and everything I do is about making you shine.
Your Comfort Comes First
Before we pick up a single brush, mujhe yeh jaanna hai (I want to know): कैसा makeup चाहिए आपको? (What kind of makeup do you want?) We’ll chat through your style, outfit, and anything you’re worried about. If the look doesn’t feel right, bol do (just say it). I’ll change it—even if it means starting over. Client satisfaction sabse upar hai (is above everything) for me.
Custom Looks for Every Skin
Worked with all skin types, all tones—dusky, wheatish, fair, acne-prone, pigmentation, scars, vitiligo, you name it. I never do skin-shaming. For acne-prone skin bridal look or makeup for dusky skin wedding, I use the right techniques so you get a flawless, non-cakey finish. Colour correction, pore-filling, radiant base—sab kuch (everything) tailored for your comfort and confidence.
Every Occasion Covered
From your roka to reception, I handle it all—classic to natural bridal makeup, bold party looks, or festive glam for Karva Chauth and sangeet. For hair, my pro team’s got you. Based in Delhi, but I travel wherever you need.

My Story
Hi, I’m Deepika – Makeup Cafe is my space. Main makeup artist hoon, lekin mere liye yeh sirf products ka khel nahi hai. Trust aur comfort pe sab kuch hai. Ek baar ek bride ko makeup loud lag gaya, toh humne fir se har step discuss kara. Yeh din aapka hai, Instagram ya celeb look ke liye nahi. I just want you to see yourself and say, ‘Bas, yeh main hoon, thoda aur glowing!’
