Past work
Brides, in their
own soft light
Every face here was worked on in a real getting-ready room, on a real timeline, in Mumbai humidity. No retouching of the skin beyond what the photographer did.
Nothing in that category yet — try another.

The artist
Fourteen years,
one obsession
Mumbai-based bridal makeup artist and hairstylist with over a decade behind the brush. I build looks that photograph beautifully and hold from the first pheras to the last dance — skin that still looks like skin, colour that still looks like you.
I don't want you looking at your wedding photos in ten years wondering who that is. The makeup should be the last thing anyone notices — and the first thing that makes you look like yourself.

How it works
Four steps,
zero guesswork
Most wedding-day stress comes from not knowing what happens next. Here is exactly what happens next.
- 01
Consultation
We talk over a call or at the studio — your outfits, your venue, your skin, and how you want to feel. Complimentary, no obligation.
- 02
Trial
A full paid trial so you see the exact look in daylight and in flash. We adjust until it's right, then photograph it for reference.
- 03
The Plan
A written schedule for every function — start times, look notes, who's getting ready when. Shared with you and your planner.
- 04
Your Day
I arrive early with the full kit and my team. You get ready calmly, and I stay for touch-ups through the ceremony.

Rated by brides on WedMeGood, where she is a Users' Choice Award winner.
She actually listened. I said I didn't want to look like someone else on my wedding day, and I didn't — I just looked like the best version of me.
Fourteen hours, three outfit changes, Mumbai humidity. The makeup did not move once. My photographer kept saying how well the base was holding.
Punctual, calm and completely unbothered by the chaos around her. She and her team did eleven of us and nobody felt rushed.
Questions
The things
brides ask
Something not covered here? Message on WhatsApp — you'll usually get a reply the same day.
How far in advance should I book?
For peak season (November to February) most brides book 6 to 9 months ahead. Off-season, 2 to 3 months is usually comfortable. A date is only held once the advance is received.
Do you travel outside Mumbai?
Yes — across India and overseas. Destination bookings start at ₹20,000 per function, with travel and accommodation arranged separately. I travel with the full professional kit.
Is a trial included?
Trials are booked separately and are paid. I strongly recommend one — it is the difference between hoping and knowing. We photograph the trial look so there are no surprises on the day.
What products do you use?
MAC, Inglot, Make Up For Ever, Sephora, PAC, Bare Minerals, Faces and Ferraruci. Everything is professional-grade, and brushes are sanitised between every client.
Will the makeup suit my skin?
That is what the consultation is for. I match to your undertone in daylight, not under a ring light, and I prep the skin properly first. If you have sensitivities or a condition like acne or rosacea, tell me early and I will plan around it.
Can you do my mother, sisters and friends too?
Yes. Family and friends makeup starts at ₹2,500 per person, and I bring a team so nobody is left waiting. Share the headcount when booking so it is scheduled properly.
What if my function starts at 4 AM?
Common for South Indian and Maharashtrian muhurats — I have done plenty. Early starts are arranged in advance and priced normally.
Do you also do hair and draping?
Hair styling is included in every package. Extensions, saree and dupatta draping, lashes, nail art and jewellery styling are all available — and bridal jewellery can be rented through @jewels_by_yashika.
