About Special Occasion Makeup
Following My Passion, Not Just a Trend
Switching from engineering to makeup freaked some people out - log kehte hain (people say) "why leave such a safe career?" But honestly, nothing beats the feeling of helping someone look in the mirror and go, arre waah, main toh badi sundar lag rahi hoon (wow, I look so beautiful).
What Counts as Special Occasion?
It’s not just weddings! Basically, anytime you want to look and feel your best - parties, photoshoots, pre-wedding functions, even that random office party that suddenly feels important.
- I do everything from natural party makeup for Indian skin to full-on drama for those who love bold.
- Events I’ve covered: Sangeet, Haldi, Roka, Mehendi, birthdays, photoshoots, baby showers, you name it.
Your Style, Your Say
Some people want that no-makeup makeup (barely there, no kajal, super fresh). Others dream of a soft glam engagement makeup - glowing skin, nude lip, soft eyes. And then there are those who want the works: bold lips, smokey eyes, the whole package. We figure out your vibe together, so you always feel like yourself.
Process: Slow & Steady
I don’t believe in 30-minute makeovers. I like to take my time, prep your skin, and make sure the look lasts through dancing, hugging, sweating - all the fun stuff. I’m all about seamless, long-lasting event makeup looks.
What Else?
Based in Nerul, Navi Mumbai, I travel all over Mumbai for clients. Hairstyling and saree draping? Sorted - my team and I handle it together if you want the full look.

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.
