I focus on skin prep that lasts through the rituals without feeling heavy, ensuring the traditional nath and mundavalya are perfectly balanced against your features rather than being hidden. The key to a perfect Maharashtrian bridal look is knowing when to let the tradition speak for itself and when to enhance it with modern technique. Whether you are opting for a Sakarpuda engagement ceremony or the main wedding day, my goal is to ensure you look like yourself, just more radiant. ### My Approach to Traditional Looks - **Skin Prep is Priority:** I don't believe in heavy, cakey layers. I use a thorough CTM routine with hydration-focused products like Embryolisse. This is especially important for long wedding ceremonies where you might be under harsh stage lights or exposed to the heat of the havan. - **Balancing the Jewellery:** Maharashtrian bridal attire often includes heavy gold jewellery, a distinct nath, and mundavalya. I design your eye makeup and lip shades to complement these pieces, not compete with them. If your saree is a rich, heavy Paithani, we might opt for a balanced, soft-glam eye look to keep the focus on your ensemble while still defining your eyes. - **The 'Navari' Aesthetic:** For the Navari look, the focus is often on an authentic, traditional finish. I emphasize clean lines, defined brows, and a flawless base that holds up to the structure of the saree drape. I ensure the finish is dewy and fresh, preventing that flat, matte look that can sometimes feel too staged. ### What to Expect During Our Session Every session begins with a conversation about your vision. We will talk about your outfit colors and the style of jewellery you have chosen. I am based in Mumbai but travel across India, so whether your ceremony is in a local hall or at a destination venue, I ensure the same level of care. My setup includes everything needed to handle sensitive skin and last-minute touch-ups, so you can focus on your big day while I handle the artistry. ## About Priyanka John I’m Priyanka.
