About Bridal & Wedding Makeup
My Approach
Makeup is not just about products for me - it's about how you want to feel on your big day. I always start with, "Kasa pahije tula?" (How do you want it?). Most brides tell me, "Mala makeup mhanje natural ch havay" (I want natural bridal makeup). I get it. I focus on making you look radiant, not overdone. Skin should look like glass, eyes a bit sharp, and everything perfectly set.
Every Wedding Event, Every Look
Weddings are full of moments - engagement, haldi, main ceremony, reception. I create a unique look for each, whether you want a quick haldi glow or a glam reception style. Even if we have just 20 minutes, I can make it work.
Traditional to Modern - All Cultures
I love working with different traditions:
- Maharashtrian bridal makeup is my core strength, from classic nath to modern twists.
- South Indian looks with silk sarees and temple jewellery? I know the details.
- North Indian, royal, or Bengali styles - I do them all, keeping your vibe in mind.
My Process for a Flawless Finish
- Skin prep is everything - cleanse, tone, moisturize, all based on your skin.
- I use liquid products for that glass skin bridal look, with minimal color correction.
- Everything is set so your makeup stays put through all the rituals and dancing.
- Final touch-ups before you step out, so you glow in every photo.
Not Just for Brides
Grooms, moms, aunts, friends - everyone deserves to look their best. I offer makeup for the whole family.
Sadasarvada krutadnya (always grateful) to be part of your special day.

My Story
Hi, I’m Minakshi from Mumbai, makeup artist and teacher. Makeup for me is celebrating those soneri kshan (golden moments) – weddings, photoshoots, even baby showers, I put my heart in. Winning the Ajinkya Naari award was emotional, made me more grateful to Swami Mauli. My academy’s my second home – teaching is pure joy, especially when my students shine, even if Mumbai’s trains go crazy! This is my world, full of beauty, faith, and lots of emotions.
