How I Teach

My Story
Hey, I’m Shrutha! Been painting faces in Bangalore for 8 years now. Makeup is more than just colours for me—it’s about catching that feeling, you know? My favourite? Bridal mornings, especially when I got to keep my own sister’s look super minimal. I teach too, sharing my tricks with newbies. Whether it’s a South Indian muhurtham or a cocktail night, I just want my clients to smile and glow. I’m all for that radiant, effortless vibe—shine from inside out.
My Work
Bridal & Occasion Makeup - I do minimal bridal makeup for South Indian, Marathi, North Indian, Christian weddings, plus baby showers, engagements, receptions, and cocktail parties.
Makeup Education & Saree Draping - I teach makeup basics and pro tips, and offer South Indian saree draping for weddings.
Signature 'Glass Skin' Finish - Love creating dewy makeup looks—subtle, timeless, and always feels like you.
My Approach - Less is more. I highlight your natural features, never mask them. It’s all about tradition and elegance.
Travel Friendly - Based in Bangalore but happy to travel wherever your big day takes you.
