About Special Occasion Makeup
For All Those Big (and Little) Celebrations
I’m Sonia, and I love helping you look and feel amazing for those moments that matter—engagements, sangeet, Diwali, or even a wild themed party. Not just the bride, but everyone who wants to shine. My go-to: natural party makeup look with skin that glows but still looks like you.
What I Love Creating
- Engagements, cocktail nights, mehendi, wedding guests, or even red carpet inspired makeup for when you want to go all out.
- If you’ve got a theme—be it traditional, modern, or something offbeat—I’m all in.
- Love festival glam makeup? I’m game for sparkle, rhinestones, and bold ideas.
Your Vibe, Your Way
- Soft & Radiant: Think dewy skin makeup for events, with that ‘barely there’ blush and glow. Subtle shimmer, no fuss, still wow.
- All-Out Glam: Glitter, statement eyes, even pearls if you’re feeling it. Perfect for those who love to stand out.
How We Roll
- We start with a chat about your outfit, the event, and how you want to feel.
- I only use top products—my kit’s always updated.
- My team and I do hair, draping, whatever’s needed for a complete, seamless look.
Based in Mumbai, but ready to travel wherever your celebration takes you.

My Story
Hey, I’m Sonia, certified makeup artist from Mumbai but I’ll go anywhere you need me. Honestly, I live for travel - tropical vibes are my jam. My motto? One day at a time, especially after my Insta got hacked (ugh). Fun fact, I team up with my sister (she’s a killer hairstylist) and together we bring the full vibe. Want classic red bride or a full ‘Poo to Parvati’ transformation? I’m all in. For me, it’s not just makeup, it’s about making you feel epic.
My Work
Bridal & Event Makeup - I do makeup for weddings, sangeet, cocktails, engagements, maternity shoots, and any party you want to shine at.
Soft Glam Signature - My go-to style is soft glam - think dewy skin bridal look, glass skin, and natural bridal makeup that enhances, not hides.
Custom Looks for Every Bride - Traditional red, modern shimmer, subtle base or glitter eyes - whatever you dream up, I’ll create it.
Destination Ready - Mumbai based but I travel anywhere for your big day. Destination wedding makeup artist, at your service.
