The reception is a different mood from the muhurtham. The lights are warmer, the outfit is often a lehenga, gown or contemporary saree, and the photographs are more relaxed. We design a separate evening look — glam or soft-glam — rather than just repeating the morning makeup.

Engagements work the same way: a fresh, photograph-ready face that suits pastel and jewel-tone outfits, with hair and accessories planned together so everything balances.

What’s included

  • Glam or soft-glam options
  • Pastel & jewel-tone palettes
  • Gowns, lehengas & sarees
  • Hair & accessories
  • Quick change timing
  • Photo-ready finish

How it works

  • Tell us the outfitShare the outfit, colour and jewellery for the evening, and whether you want glam or soft-glam.
  • Design the lookWe choose lids, lips and base for evening light and plan the hair around your accessories.
  • Plan the change-overIf you are changing from the muhurtham look, we plan the timing so the second look is ready without a rush.
  • Event dayWe arrive on time, finish the look and leave you ready for the lights.

Good to know

  • Book the reception look with the wedding. Planning both looks together makes timing simpler.
  • Share a photo of the outfit. Colour and neckline decide the eye and lip palette.
  • Think about the lighting. Stage and hall lights are warmer; a slightly more defined finish photographs better.

Yes. We work with sarees, lehengas and gowns and plan hair and accessories to match.

Can you do the hair for the reception too?

Yes — soft curls, buns, waves and floral work. See hair styling.
