About Special Occasion Hair & Makeup

What I Offer

I’m Sonal Shah, a NYC-trained makeup artist now living in Mumbai. Parties, sangeet, mehendi, engagement—you name the event, I do hair and makeup for it. I’m all about making you feel beautiful and confident, whether you want to keep it simple or go all out.

Makeup Looks

• If you want drama, I’m big on signature smokey eyes and glitter party makeup. These work best for evening events or when you want that extra oomph.
• Prefer something chill? I do fresh wedding guest looks with soft tones and natural bases. Perfect for daytime and anyone who likes it low-key.

Hair Styling

• Curls and waves are my jam—big, bouncy, soft, or half-up, I’ve got you.
• Need volume or movement? Sleek blowouts are my go-to.
• Messy buns with fresh flowers or chic ponytails with waves—if you want something modern or classic, I’ll figure it out with you.
• I use high-quality hair extensions for length and accessories like sparkly pins or gajra (flower garland) for that finishing touch.

Real Talk

I’m honest about what works for your hair and skin. If your hair’s thin, I’ll suggest extensions. If you want a dewy skin finish but hate heavy makeup, I’ll keep it light. No cookie-cutter looks, just something that suits you and the occasion.
