About Event & Photoshoot Makeup
Your Look, Your Way
I’m Shobha, and I help you show up as your best self for every event. Whether it’s a family function, festival, or a photoshoot, my job is to bring out the version of you that feels confident and real.
What I Do
- I create both traditional glam (South Indian reception makeup, bold lips, sharp kajal) and modern styles (smokey eyes, glowy highlight).
- For photoshoots, I match the makeup to the shoot - pre-wedding, maternity, or portfolio. I’m comfortable working with all skin tones, including photoshoot ready makeup for dusky skin.
- If you want a soft look for maternity photos or a festive glam makeover, I adjust everything to what suits you and your outfit.
Beyond Makeup
- I take care of hairstyling: from classic braids with poola jada (flower braid), to bouncy curls, or clean updos.
- Saree draping? No tension. I’ll handle it and make sure every pleat sits right.
- Everything comes together for a full, finished look.
How I Work
I see every client as family - nanna client-u nanna makkalu thara (clients are like my own kids). I travel everywhere in Karnataka, so you get ready at your home or wherever you’re most comfortable. Your comfort means everything to me.
