About Bridal Makeup & Styling
I love helping brides feel like the best version of themselves. My style is all about making your wedding day look both timeless and personal, with a focus on details that matter.
What I Do Best
- I specialise in the classic South Indian bridal look - think flawless, full-coverage wedding makeup that lasts, with bold eyes, deep red lips, and the bindi every Amma expects.
- Hair is my jam, especially the Poola Jada hairstyle for brides. I use fresh jasmine, proper temple jewelry, the works.
- Saree draping isn’t a side gig for me. I’ll make sure your Kanjeevaram stays crisp and perfect, no matter how many aunties hug you!
More Than Just Muhurtham
- For reception and sangeet, we can switch to glamorous sangeet makeup look or modern hairstyles. Voluminous braids, textured buns, whatever suits your vibe.
- Lehengas, half sarees, or a full-on party look - I’ve got you.
Start to Finish, I’m There
- You don’t need to call three different people. I handle it all - makeup, hair, and saree draping. It all comes together, one style, one vision.
Why I Do This
- Honestly, I get attached to my brides. I call them ‘magane’ (my child) without thinking! That connection is what keeps me going.
I’m based in Bangalore and travel across Karnataka. If you want a look that’s both classic and real, that’s what I’m here for.
