About Special Occasion & Editorial Makeup

How I Approach Makeup

When you sit in my chair, the first thing I’ll ask is, “Kasa pahije tula?” (How do you want it?). For me, makeup is about how you want to feel on your special day, not just how you look. Most people who come to me say, “Mala makeup mhanje natural ch havay” (I want natural-looking makeup). I get it. My aim is to make you look like yourself, just a bit more polished.

Occasions I Cover

I do makeup for all sorts of events - parties, receptions, sangeet, festivals, baby showers (dohale jevan), housewarmings, milestone birthdays, and more. If you want a quick 20-minute look change for your reception or a subtle editorial makeup look for a photoshoot, I’ve got you.

My Style

My signature is that ‘natural’ look everyone loves. It’s not plain - your skin looks glowy and fresh, but the eyes get a little extra attention. I make sure everything is “proper settle” so you feel comfortable, and I use waterproof makeup for Indian weddings and Mumbai’s humidity.

Editorial & Camera-Ready

I work with actresses and models too, so I know how to create dewy skin makeup for photoshoots that looks good both in person and on camera. Whether you want bold or minimal, I can do both.

For All Ages

Makeup has no age. I love working with mature skin, especially for mothers and aunts at family events. Enhancing natural elegance is my thing.

My Process

I always start with skin prep - cleansing, toning, moisturizing. Only then do I use products like NARS or Huda Beauty for that long-lasting, glass-skin effect. Kasa vaatala? (How did you like it?)

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.
