About Bridal Makeup & Styling
I left engineering to follow my heart into makeup. Log kehte hain (people say), "yeh kyun?" but honestly, nothing feels better than making a bride feel beautiful on her big day. I trained with top brands, but my real learning started when I began working with real brides.
My Approach
- I never rush through a look. Skin prep takes time, and it’s non-negotiable for me.
- My focus is on enhancing, not hiding. Whether you want a natural bridal makeup look or bold drama, I build the look around what suits you and makes you comfortable.
- I’m all about that soft glam wedding makeup: glowing skin, soft eyes, and lips that pop but never overpower.
What You Get
- Customized makeup: From no-makeup looks to full glam, all bases covered.
- Hair styling: My team handles everything - messy buns, curls, floral gajras, you name it.
- Saree and outfit draping (including Nauvari), plus jewellery and veil setting so you don’t have to stress about a thing.
- I do looks for every function: Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, Reception, and even Nikkah or Walima. Each event gets a unique touch.
Every Skin, Every Culture
- Special love for bridal makeup for brown skin - I know how to make your natural tone shine, not cover it up.
- Comfortable with all kinds of cultural bridal styles: Maharashtrian, Bengali, Marwadi, South Indian, Muslim, Gujarati, and more.
Our Process
We’ll chat about skincare (super important for that bridal glow) and can do a trial at my Nerul studio. You get to see and feel your look before the big day.
Mujhe sach mein lagta hai (I honestly believe), every bride deserves to look like herself, just extra special.

My Story
You know, behind all the lipstick and sparkle, I'm just Pallavi – the girl who didn’t quit. People said, 'koi kaam chota nahi hota' but still gave me those looks when I left engineering for makeup. Honestly, even in college, I was all about fashion shows and dance. Stage ka shauk bachpan se hi tha. Infosys job funded my dream, and now I’ve got my own business. Even broke my back once, but kya hai, haath toh theek hai! Life’s too short not to follow your heart.
