I'm a celebrity makeup artist with over 20 years of experience, specializing in natural, enhancing looks. My passion is teaching, and I offer patient, hands-on mentorship to help aspiring artists build successful careers.

This is the quintessential South Indian Muhurtham look that so many brides dream of. I focus on creating a flawless, radiant base that looks like real skin, paired with classic red lips and defined eyes, ensuring you look timeless in your wedding photos.

I've had the pleasure of working with many Sandalwood celebrities, like the wonderful Shwetha Srivatsav here. This look showcases my expertise in creating camera-ready makeup that is flawless for professional photoshoots and events.

Perfect for a Sangeet or Mehendi, this look features a vibrant lehenga with modern, glamorous makeup. I used a subtle smokey eye and a neutral lip to balance the colorful outfit, creating a look that's both festive and chic.

Silver jewelry is a beautiful choice for modern brides. Here, I've created a soft, ethereal makeup look with a hint of shimmer on the eyes and a gentle pink lip to complement the cool tones of the silver, perfect for a reception or engagement.

I take great pride in perfectly matching foundation for all skin tones, especially for dusky skin. This look for the beautiful Swati showcases a warm, glowing complexion with defined eyes and a bold red lip, proving that the right shades enhance natural beauty.

Half-saree functions are such a special milestone. For this young client, I created a fresh, age-appropriate look with bright colors and joyful energy, complete with elegant hairstyling to make her feel like a princess on her big day.

My all-in-one package includes professional saree draping to ensure your Kanjivaram or any other silk saree is pleated and pinned to perfection. This full-length view shows how a perfectly draped saree completes the entire bridal look.

A traditional South Indian bridal look is incomplete without a beautiful hairstyle. This is a classic Jadai, a thick braid adorned with fresh jasmine and lotus flowers, creating a fragrant and absolutely stunning finish for the bride.

This vibrant lehenga look is perfect for a Sangeet or reception. I demonstrate how to create a glamorous, photo-ready look with bold eyes and glowing skin that lasts through a night of celebration, a key technique taught in my pro course.

My Story

Started out just loving makeup, now it’s been 20+ years. Worked with Sandalwood celebs, hundreds of brides, but teaching is where my heart landed. Namma Bengaluru gave me everything, so I wanted to give back. Glitter Makeup Studio and Academy came from that wish. My students come in knowing nothing, leave with confidence. Avrige a confidence bartaalla, adu nange tumba special (When they get that confidence, that's very special to me). Seeing them grow is my biggest win.
