About Bridal & Wedding Makeup
I believe makeup should never hide who you are. My style is about making you look regal yet real, with your natural beauty at the center. Every bride’s story is different, so I listen, ask questions, and work together with you to get a look that feels just right.
My Approach
- If you’re after something subtle, I specialise in natural bridal makeup - think fresh skin, soft glow, nothing OTT.
- For the big reception or sangeeth, I love creating bold or luxe looks: think statement lips, smoky eyes, but skin still looking like skin.
- Traditional brides, especially South Indian bridal hairstyle with flowers and saree drape, are close to my heart. Fusion styles? Love them too, happy to mix traditions.
Services for All Wedding Events
- I cover it all: engagement, mehendi, pellikuthuru, bangle ceremony, main wedding, reception.
- Each event gets its own vibe. You won’t look the same twice.
What You Can Expect
- Makeup that's customised to your face, comfort, and skin - even if you have allergies or special requests.
- Professional hairstyling: from jasmine braids to messy buns.
- Saree or lehenga draping so everything sits perfectly.
- Destination wedding makeup artist - I travel wherever you need me, Bangalore or beyond.
If you look in the mirror and feel “tumba chennagittu” (so beautiful), that’s when I know I’ve done my job right.

My Story
Hey, we’re Geethanjali Makeup Studio & Academy. Started in Bangalore, picked up tricks in London, brought it all back home. We believe makeup should be real, not cakey - you, just a bit more luxe. That feeling when a bride looks in the mirror, smiles like she’s royalty? That’s why we do this. Teaching’s our other love. Our academy’s buzzing, and hearing 'class tumba chennagittu' (class was very good) makes us proud. We’re here for the stories, not just the faces.
