About Additional Looks
Whether you are aiming for a sharp, winged liner for a Sufi night or soft, monochromatic coral tones for a day event, my goal is to make sure your makeup mirrors the mood of your outfit. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so we will always chat about your vision and skin type before I even open my kit to ensure the result is radiant, not overdone.
My approach to these 'additional looks' is grounded in the same philosophy as my bridal work: enhancing what you have rather than hiding it. When you are prepping for events like a Sangeet, Mehendi, or a themed party, the lighting and the vibe are totally different from the main wedding day, and your makeup needs to adapt to that.
Why Customization Matters
Every event has a different energy. For a Qawwali or Sufi night, we might lean into that classic, defined glamour with winged liners and deep tones. For a daytime brunch or a family Pooja, I typically suggest a 'barely there' blush and glass skin finish to keep it fresh. My kit is always stocked with high-performance products from brands like Nars, MAC, and Huda Beauty to ensure your look stays put, whether you are dancing at a carnival party or sitting through a long ceremony.
The 'Sonia' Difference
I work closely with my sister, who handles the hairstyling, so we can ensure your hair, draping, and makeup flow together seamlessly. My team and I focus on:
- Skin Prep: Tailored hydration so your base lasts in Mumbai humidity.
- Trend Integration: Whether you want pearls, rhinestones, or bold textures, we will make it wearable and chic.
- Confidence: At the end of the day, my job is to make you feel like the most epic version of yourself, not just 'done up'.
If you have a mood board or a specific theme, bring it along. I love collaborating on fresh ideas to create a look that feels authentic to your personal style. ✨
