Modern Bridal and Occasion Glam
My signature #glamxriya style focuses on polished skin, defined eyes, and looks that feel timeless. Whether it is your wedding day or a reception, I create makeup that is both camera-ready and comfortable to wear.
A quintessential modern bride. The makeup features a warm, neutral palette on the eyes and lips to balance the magnificent green and gold jewellery. The skin is perfected to a satin finish for a radiant, long lasting glow.
This video shows a glamorous reception look in detail. I created soft, cascading waves and paired them with a luminous makeup look, focusing on shimmering eyeshadow and a glossy nude lip to catch the light beautifully.
For this bridal jewellery campaign, the makeup was designed to be elegant and sophisticated. I used a soft pink monochrome palette on the eyes, cheeks, and lips to complement the pastel outfit and let the diamond choker and earrings shine.
A glamorous evening look for a Vogue campaign. The makeup is subtle yet impactful, with a focus on enhancing the model's features to create a look of effortless sophistication, ideal for a cocktail party or engagement dinner.
The full look from the Vogue and Audi shoot. The makeup and hair were styled to create a sense of modern luxury, proving that a glamorous look can also feel personal and connected.
A soft glam look for actress Reem Sameer Shaikh. I created a subtle smokey eye and paired it with loose, flowing waves for an elegant and youthful appearance suitable for a festive event.
This video from the 'Nykaa Wali Shaadi' campaign showcases various festive and bridal makeup styles. From bold lips to sparkling eyes, it demonstrates my range in creating celebratory looks for the entire wedding party.
A bold and dramatic winged liner is the star of this look. Paired with flawless matte skin and a simple nude lip, this is a powerful and confident style for the bride who loves a bit of drama.
Watch the transformation from a fresh face to a sharp, glamorous look. This video shows the power of a well executed winged liner and contoured features to create a striking, photo ready finish.
Another angle of this dramatic winged liner look. The hair is styled with soft, face framing waves to balance the sharpness of the eye makeup, creating a cohesive and modern glam style.
About Modern Bridal & Occasion Glam
I do not believe in heavy, cakey layers. My process starts with deep skin prep using Vitamin C or Hyaluronic acid serums, so your base stays breathable while looking flawless under studio lights or venue flash. We will discuss your outfit and jewellery beforehand so the final look feels like a natural extension of your style, not a mask.
The #glamxriya Approach
My work balances the high-impact requirements of professional shoots with the practical needs of a real-world event. I use high-definition, flash-back proof foundations from brands like NARS, Charlotte Tilbury, and Bobbi Brown. These provide that signature smooth finish without looking overdone in person.
Durability for Mumbai Events
Living and working in Mumbai means humidity is always a factor. For every bridal look, I use specialized humidity-resistant setting sprays from brands like Schwarzkopf and Toni&Guy. Whether you are dealing with the heat at an outdoor ceremony or the long hours of a reception, your makeup and hair are designed to hold their shape.
How We Coordinate
I treat your wedding as a collaboration. During our consultation, we align your makeup with your specific outfit colours and jewellery style. If you are wearing a heavy necklace, I balance the eye makeup to ensure your face does not compete with your accessories. I also coordinate with your photographer to ensure the intensity of the contour and highlights is perfectly suited to their lighting style.
Service Inclusions
My bridal packages are comprehensive. They include:
- Skin Prep: Targeted serums for a natural glow.
- Custom Lash Application: Using reusable Faux Mink or human hair lashes.
- Body Makeup: Colour correction and highlighting for exposed areas like the neck, arms, and back.

I am based in Mumbai, but I travel across India for weddings and events. If you have specific hair extensions you would like to include, I will prep and style those as well.
