About Bridal & Pre-Wedding Makeup and Hair
My Style for Your Wedding Events
I treat makeup and hair like art, and your wedding is where it comes alive. From quiet pre-wedding moments to the main ceremony, I want your look to feel timeless and personal. Mumbai is home, but I travel anywhere you need me, so distance is never a problem.
Customised for You
No cookie-cutter makeup here. I focus on what suits you - your skin tone, features, outfit, and personal vibe. It’s all about finding that look that makes you feel confident. I also sync up with your photographer so your makeup pops on camera, not just in person.
Pre-Wedding Shoots
Pre-wedding is all about natural connection. My go-to is a minimal wedding day look - think fresh skin, subtle touches, nothing heavy. If you want dewy skin for brides or a soft matte finish, I can do both. Hair is matched to the setting, whether you need beachy waves, a ponytail for the hills, or a sleek urban style. I’ve done makeup everywhere from Jaisalmer’s heat to Kashmir’s chill, so your look will hold up, promise.
The Modern Bridal Look
Your wedding day deserves something special. I bring #glamxriya for brides who want a refined, polished look - flawless skin, defined eyes, and hairstyles that work with your jewellery and dress. The goal is elegant but still feels like you.
How We’ll Work
This is a team effort. We’ll chat, plan, and on the day, I’ll be there with steady hands and a chill vibe. Makeup isn’t supposed to be stressful. I get it done, so you enjoy your day.

My Story
Hi, I’m Riya. Mumbai’s home, but honestly, my kit goes everywhere. I’ve played with palettes for brands like Nykaa and Wella, but the real fun is mixing it up - from natural makeup looks to crazy glam. That Vogue x Audi shoot? Still feels wild seeing my work printed. Every day’s a new face, new vibe. I just love bringing ideas to life, whether it’s glowing skin or bold, glossy eyelids.
My Work
Makeup & Hair for Shoots and Brides - I do makeup for fashion, bridal, pre-wedding, and campaign shoots. Mumbai-based, but I travel too.
Signature Looks: Minimal to #glamxriya - I’m all about glowing skin finish, clean minimal wedding makeup, or a bold glossy eyelid if you want drama.
Campaigns & Ads - I’ve worked on big shoots for brands like Van Heusen and Shoppers Stop. Fast sets don’t scare me.
Makeup for Indian Skin Tones - I create looks that work for all Indian skin tones, making sure everyone feels seen and stunning.
