About

Makeup, for me, is about making you feel like the best version of yourself - whether that's glowing quietly or turning heads. It’s less about trends, more about you feeling confident in your own skin.

Wedding Looks Across Every Function

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all look for your entire wedding. Each event gets its own vibe:

• For the muhurtham, I keep it timeless. You want that natural bridal makeup for South Indian weddings? I’ve got you.
• Reception is for the drama - think smokey eye reception look or bold eyes and nude lips. If you want a soft pink makeup for engagement or something totally different, we’ll make it work.
• I also do traditional looks for engagement, puja, baby shower, upanayanam, and even college ethnic days.

My Traditional Specialties

I specialise in South Indian and Iyengar bridal styles, from vibrant saree-friendly makeup to the full Andal-inspired look with kondai and madisar. Maharashtrian brides - I know how to get that authentic style with navari and nath.

My Process

I work with skilled hairstylists, and I’ll help you find the right rental jewellery if you need it. My kit? MAC, Huda, NARS, PAC and more - all good stuff that lasts through the hugs, tears, and dancefloor.

Real Talk

I’ll be honest: if you want super heavy layers or a totally transformed face, I’m probably not your person. My style is more about bringing out what you already have. If that sounds like your vibe, let’s make it happen.
