About Bridal & Event Makeup Artistry
My Approach
After 20 years as a makeup artist, I've realised makeup isn't about hiding your face. Kelavaru madtare, tumba paint hachidange irutte (some go overboard and it looks like a paint job) - that's not my style. I just want you to look like the best version of yourself, not someone else.
What I Offer
- Soft, natural bridal makeup or full-on royal glam - we can do both, but always keeping it skin-like and comfortable.
- Every look is smudge-proof, transfer-proof, and water-resistant. No tension about makeup running or fading during your big day.
- I match shades for all skin tones, especially dusky skin. Finding the right tone is a must.
- Nimma dream look, nanna touch (your dream look, my touch) - we'll work together to get it just right.
Services for Every Event
- Weddings: South Indian, North Indian, Muhurtham, and more
- Pre/Post Wedding: Reception, Engagement, Haldi, Sangeet
- Family Functions: Baby showers, Half Saree, etc.
- Guest Makeup: For family and friends too
All-In-One Package
- Professional hairstyling: from Jadai (braid with fresh flowers) to modern updos
- Saree draping: I'll make sure your saree sits perfectly, be it Kanjivaram or any style
My Experience
- HD and airbrush wedding makeup specialist, so photos come out flawless
- Worked as a celebrity MUA in Sandalwood - but I still get tumba khushi (so happy) seeing regular clients light up after their makeover
If you want a simple wedding day look or something more grand, I'm here to help you feel confident and beautiful.

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.
