 Bay Area Hair & Makeup Artist for Weddings & Elopments

San Francisco Bay Area, California

Hi, I'm Michelle!

Internationally Acclaimed, Bay Area  Based Makeup Artist

I specialize in bringing a keen eye for color and flawless application to every bride I work with. Over nearly 20 years, working in both India and the Bay Area, CA, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse brides, including collaborations in fashion, weddings, and films. My experience ensures that every bride I work with looks and feels their best on their special day.

 

Brides come to me for a signature look that blends modern elegance with timeless beauty. Many of my brides have shared that they felt stunning in their photos and didn’t want to take their makeup off at the end of the night!

​

If you are a bride wanting to look perfect on your wedding day, I can help you look and feel fabulous - AND like yourself.

What to Expect When We Work Together

My signature style focuses on a natural and radiant look, aiming to enhance your best features. The goal is to look and feel like you, a more polished version of yourself.

Let's get to know each other. We'll chat about your comfort level with makeup, your vision for the big day and how you imagine yourself on your wedding day and all your other events. If you are unsure of how you would like to look, you can trust me to create a style that enhances your best features and ties in with all the little details of the wedding.

 I will be in touch with you after a couple of days to check how you felt about the makeup and hair and to see if there are any changes you would like me to make on the wedding day.

Your feedback is crucial because the makeup is about you and how you feel. The goal is for you to embody the best version of yourself and feel truly confident.
