About Bridal Makeup & Hair
My Style: Less is Luxury
Bridal makeup, for me, is all about showing off your real beauty. I stick to a “less is luxury” vibe - no caking, no over-the-top drama. You’ll get a natural bridal makeup look that’s skin-like, glowy, and actually feels comfortable. I’m not here to change your face, just make you look like the most radiant version of yourself.
Looks for Every Bride
Your wedding is personal, and your makeup should be too. I’ve got you covered whether you want:
- Minimal wedding makeup or soft glam bridal makeup for that fresh, effortless look.
- Full-on traditional Indian bridal look, from Gujarati phir n bindi to classic South Indian braids.
- Modern, chic styles for pastel lehenga lovers.
- Dreamy, romantic hair and makeup for church weddings.
Each Function, Each Look
Engagement? We go bold. Haldi & Mehendi? Fresh and glowy. Sangeet? Bring on the sparkle. Your main wedding ceremony? Every detail counts, and I’ll make sure your look fits the moment. Reception gets a final, elegant twist.
All-In Styling
I do the hair too - floral buns, braids, waves, you name it. Saree or lehenga draping? I handle that, so everything stays neat and comfy.
Why I Love This Work
The best bit is seeing you smile and hearing “Bahu mast laage che!” (You look so beautiful!) when you see yourself. It’s the moments like these that stick with me.

My Story
Hi, I’m Hemali. That first look a bride gets in the mirror? Pure magic, I live for that moment. My niece’s phera makeup - emotional, family vibes, can’t beat it. I believe happy brides are the prettiest. Makeup for me isn’t about changing faces, it’s about that golden hour bridal glow, feeling like yourself but extra special. Trusted with wedding days - big deal for me, whether in Mumbai or anywhere. It’s not just work, it’s being part of love stories.
