About Special Occasion Makeup
What I Do
I create makeup looks that fit every kind of special moment - from cocktail parties and sangeets to baby showers and portfolio shoots. My thing is to help you look and feel like the best version of yourself, not like someone else. Whether you want to keep it simple or go all out with party-ready evening makeup, I’m here for it.
Who It's For
- Party guests, family, friends of the couple - anyone who needs to look put together but not steal the show
- Bridesmaids and groom’s squad who want a subtle glam for photoshoots or a bold style for the night
- Mums-to-be for maternity shoots or anyone celebrating a big milestone
- Folks needing a red carpet, classic, or editorial look for the camera
What You Can Expect
- Classic Hollywood glam with red lips, glowing skin, and drama if you want it
- Luxe, modern styles for designer outfits or those Insta-worthy moments
- Natural makeup for family events and those who like a nude, skin-like look
- Custom tweaks for allergies or personal preferences - like no false lashes if you can’t do glue
I blend my London training with desi (local) vibes, so you get quality and comfort. The main thing? You should feel confident when you see yourself. That’s the “tumba chennagittu” (looked so beautiful) feeling I want for you.

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.
