Special Occasion & Creative Makeup Services
From creative photoshoots to baby showers and parties, I create custom looks that feel authentically you. Let’s make sure you stand out for all the right reasons.

This is what happens when a client says, "Do whatever you like." I created this fun and glamorous carnival look, perfect for a cocktail party or sangeet.

About Special Occasion & Creative Makeup
I don't believe in the 'rush-rush' approach to makeup. For every special occasion, whether it's a creative photoshoot or a baby shower, I dedicate significant time to proper skin prep before picking up a single brush. My goal is to ensure your skin is hydrated and ready so the final look feels like a natural extension of yourself, not just a mask. By the time I finish, you'll feel confident, comfortable, and ready for all the photos.
Whether you are heading to a cocktail party, a baby shower, or need a specific editorial look for a creative photoshoot, I treat every face as a blank canvas with its own unique needs. My work is about balance. If we are doing a bold, creative look—like the polo-inspired style you see in my gallery—we play with textures, veils, and artistic elements. If it’s a baby shower or family function, we lean into that 'soft glam' glow, ensuring you look radiant in person and in flash photography.
My Approach to Your Special Day
- Skin Prep: Just like my bridal work, I use high-quality serums and hydration techniques. If your skin isn't prepped, the makeup won't hold, no matter how expensive the products are.
- Customization: You might have a Pinterest reference, but let's make it work for your features. I’ll guide you on what will actually look good on you.
- The 'Creative' Edge: I love when clients tell me, 'Do whatever you like.' It allows me to experiment with trends, like faux freckles, crystal embellishments, or unique drapes. If you have a theme, bring it on.
I work out of my Nerul studio, but I travel across the Mumbai Metropolitan Area for events. Since I take limited bookings to give every client my full attention, it is always better to reach out in advance to block your date. Let’s talk about your outfit, the vibe of your event, and how we can craft a look that makes you feel incredible.
