About Featured
I use specific long-wear HD base techniques that hold up well in Mumbai’s humidity, so your makeup stays fresh from the first ritual to the final photo. I also specialize in pre-pleating Nauvari sarees, ensuring you don't struggle with heavy fabric while you are trying to enjoy your own celebration.
My Approach to Every Look
Makeup isn't just about products to me. It is about how you feel when you look in the mirror before stepping out. Whether you want the classic Maharashtrian Nhavari look with a traditional Khopa hairstyle, or something modern like a sleek ponytail for a reception, I make sure the look is balanced and comfortable.
What I Bring to Your Venue
I handle the full styling process at your location so you do not have to run around. This includes:
- Skin Prep & Foundation: I focus on matching your skin tone perfectly, whether you are fair or dusky. My HD base is designed to last through humidity and bright flash photography.
- Traditional Draping: If you are wearing a Nauvari or Paithani, I do the box-folding and pleating myself so it sits comfortably and stays crisp for hours.
- Hairstyling: From intricate buns with real flowers (gajra) to modern soft waves, I use heat-styling tools that provide volume and hold without damaging your hair.
Why Clients Choose Me
I believe in transparency and honest advice. If you are worried about covering acne or pigmentation, I use color correction techniques to give you a flawless, natural finish. Hearing my clients say they feel confident in their own skin is the best part of my job. I am based in Mumbai and travel across the city for bookings.
