What to Tell Your Makeup Artist Before Your Wedding Day
The more your artist knows before the day, the better the result. Here is what actually helps.
I'm Priyanka Gaurav - a makeup artist based in Delhi with 8 years of experience. I work across bridal, party, fashion, and occasion makeup. What I care about most is that the look actually fits the person wearing it - not a formula I've repeated on someone else.
I'm VLCC certified and my kit runs on Huda Beauty, Lakme, Nykaa, and Forever 52. I work primarily across Delhi NCR and take destination bookings for weddings and shoots across India and abroad.
Looks that hold up from the mandap to the reception - built for your skin tone, the lighting, and what you actually want.
Built for cameras. Smooth base, no flashback, looks real in photos and in person. Perfect for shoots and televised events.
Updos, braids, open curls, half-up looks - whatever works with your outfit, the occasion, and how long your day runs.
Cocktail nights, sangeets, friend's weddings - I'll get you out the door looking good without the four-hour process.
"Priyanka did my bridal makeup for my wedding at The Leela, Delhi. I have oily skin and was genuinely worried about sweating it off by noon. She used airbrush and I looked exactly the same in the 6pm reception photos as the 10am ceremony. Hired her again for my sister's wedding last year."
"Got my engagement makeup done by Priyanka. I sent her a reference look and she delivered it exactly - no 'I'll make it work on you' modifications that don't actually work. Really good at listening to what you want and not pushing her own style onto you."
"She traveled to Jaipur for my destination wedding. Professional, on time, and my makeup lasted through the entire baraat - which ran about two hours longer than planned. My whole family has her number now."

Both look good. They look different on camera, wear differently through the day, and work better on different skin types.
The prep work before the first product goes on is what makes everything else stick. A step by step look at my process.
