About Special Occasion Makeup & Styling
Why I Love Special Occasion Styling
I get a kick out of helping people feel their best for all kinds of celebrations, not just weddings. Whether you’re the bride’s bestie, heading to a seemantham, or just want to look sharp for a family get-together, I’m here to make sure you walk out feeling confident and camera-ready.
What I Do
- HD makeup for family functions, parties, and festivals
- Custom hairstyling - soft curls, braids, updos, you name it
- Traditional saree draping service, so your pallu sits just right
I work with a small team for hairstyling, so we can handle everything from simple baby shower styling to full glam engagement makeup. If you want fresh flowers in your hair or a modern twist, just say the word.
Your Style, Your Rules
Some folks love bold looks, others want a natural party makeup look. I always ask what you’re comfortable with. If you’re not used to heavy makeup, I’ll keep it light and easy. If you want to go all out, I’m game for that too.
I’m all about making sure you look good in person and in photos, but I won’t push you into anything that doesn’t feel like you.
Events I Cover
- Weddings (for the squad, not just the bride)
- Baby showers (seemantham looks, traditional or modern)
- Birthdays, festivals, housewarmings, corporate events
If you’ve got a special day, I’ll help you get ready for it, no fuss.

My Story
Hi, I’m Shilparaju, but you can call me Shilz. For me, makeup is all about those real moments - the laughter at a Seemantham, a bride's shy smile, or my own family’s special days. Doing makeup for my sister-in-law’s baby shower was emotional, not just work. After 10+ years, I still get excited to make you feel confident and glowing, just like family.
My Work
Bridal & Event Makeup - I do traditional South Indian bridal makeup for Muhurtham, Varpooja, Reception, plus Seemantham, engagements, housewarmings, and naming ceremonies.
Matching Saree & Jewellery - I make sure your makeup matches your Kanchivaram saree and jewellery, so everything looks perfect together.
Natural HD Makeup Finish - I use pro techniques for a natural HD makeup look that stays fresh and light, even in photos.
Non-Bridal & Party Looks - Not just for brides - I create soft glam party makeup for guests and family for any special occasion.
