Occasions

For the days that are not your wedding

Most people book a makeup artist once, for a wedding. These are the occasions worth booking one for that are usually missed.

Birthdays & anniversaries

Milestone birthdays and anniversary dinners get photographed as much as a function does. A ninety-minute booking changes every picture from the night.

Sangeet & mehendi guests

You are in the family photographs at someone else's wedding all week. Being done properly for it costs less than most people assume.

Housewarmings & poojas

Grihapravesham and family poojas are daytime events with a lot of relatives and a lot of cameras. A light, warm look suits them best.

Graduations & portfolios

Convocation photographs and professional headshots benefit enormously from makeup built for a camera rather than for a mirror.

Short notice is fine

Party bookings do not compete with muhurtham dates, so same-week slots are often available. Message us and we will answer the same day.

Groups at one address

Several people getting ready at the same house is straightforward and works out cheaper per person than everyone booking separately.

What To Expect

Ninety minutes, start to finish

A party booking is deliberately simpler than a bridal one. Here is the whole thing.

01
Tell us the occasion and the outfit
A daytime pooja and an evening party need different intensity. A photo of what you are wearing is usually all the brief we need.
02
Skin prep, then a light base
Cleanse, hydrate, prime and even out. Party makeup should feel comfortable for a whole evening, not just look right at the start of it.
03
One feature leads
A defined eye with a soft lip, or a strong lip with a clean eye. Picking one is what keeps an evening look modern rather than overdone.
04
Hair styled to match
Blow-dry, waves, a bun or a half-up, chosen against the outfit and the neckline. Included in the booking, not an extra.
05
Set and sent off
Locked in with a setting spray, blotting sheets and your lip shade to take with you. You are out of the chair and ready to leave.

What Our Brides Say

I had a wonderful experience at Shaarmika Beauty Parlour & Bridal Studio. The team was well-prepared and friendly, which immediately made me feel comfortable. They truly listened to my preferences and were very willing to adapt the look to suit my style and comfort. The final bridal makeup was absolutely beautiful – it was flattering, long-lasting, and looked great in photos. I received so many compliments on the big day! Their pricing is also quite reasonable given the quality of service, making it excellent value for money. Highly recommend this studio for anyone looking for a reliable and professional bridal makeup service.

Shaarmika's Bridal Studio did my makeup for my sister wedding. She is an excellent makeup artist, professional and personable. She has an amazing spirit, easy to communicate with and is very responsive. Shaarmika's went an extra mile by respectfully listening to my requests and suggesting what would work best for us. She knew exactly the look I was aiming for and that's what we got. I would recommend Shaarmika's without any hesitation!

As rightly said makeup is an art and what better to choose Shaarmika's Bridal studio for my big day . She was extremely professional and very sweet she did ask my choice and did include my opinion of makeup that I wanted she made sure I got my element done right. Thanks for dolling me up for my day and making me look absolutely stunning from tip to toe my hardwork and effort did make me look absolutely gorgeous . Would choose over and over again in all my future endeavors lots of love and as an artist she is amazing her work does speak the magic. ❤️ 💕

I had an incredible experience with Shaarmika's bridal studio. Not only is she an extremely talented and Professional Artist, she is also a really down to earth person. She curated very personalized Makeup Looks for each of my Wedding function which was all done so well. Not only did I look different, she still managed to keep all the looks very natural and neat. Rekha, was also very helpful and made valuable suggestions for my outfits and jewellery. I had a really wonderful experience with her and I am super Happy to have chosen her for my Wedding Makeup. My family and I were very concerned about safety and hygiene. But, Rekha and her Team were extremely mindful about this. They were all wearing Masks, kept sanitising their hands & tools. This was indeed a great relief. Also, something else I have to mention here is that, there were a quite a lot of people from my family who wished to get dressed, but, at the same time we did not want to hire multiple artists or have a large team. And this issue was handled very professionally by Shaarmika's. There were compliments galore from family and friends and I have to thank Shaarmika's for this. I totally recommend her for her creativity, flexibility and her positive attitude and wish her lots of Good Luck.

This review is long pending and I absolutely do not have excuse for this! But Shaarmika's Bridal studio- I must say is an amazing muartist and a super cool, forever young at heart human! The patience and her calm demeanour she showcases while at work to create wonders is unmatchable. Her professionalism exudes from the way she organizes her things to the way she wraps her work for the day with a photo shoot for the bride. Not to miss the fact that Ive made a friend for life whom I can count and bank on- is for sure, awesome. Thank you For the best moments you give the brides to make their day extra special. You are truly an amazing soul and your work is no doubt the best ever! Loads of love and hugs, you GO GIRL! 😍 😘

I don't usually do this kind of thing, but I'm glad I did. The service helped me look and feel my best on the big day.

FAQ

Party Makeup — Questions

How much does party makeup cost in Chennai?

Party and function makeup is priced per person and depends on the look, the hairstyling and how many people are booking together. Send us the occasion and the date on WhatsApp and you will have a firm quote the same day.

How long does party makeup take?

About ninety minutes for makeup and hairstyling together. For groups we add roughly an hour per additional person and give you a running order so nobody is sitting around.

Do you come to my home for party makeup?

Yes, on-location is the default. There is no travel charge inside Chennai city limits, so getting ready at home costs the same as anywhere else.

Can you do makeup for several people at one house?

Yes, and it is the most economical way to book. Tell us the number of people and the time everyone needs to be ready, and we will build a schedule around it.

How far in advance should I book party makeup?

A week or two is usually comfortable, and same-week slots are often available because party bookings do not clash with peak muhurtham dates the way bridal bookings do.

What should I tell you before the booking?

The occasion, the time you need to be ready, and a photo of your outfit. Also mention any skin sensitivities or allergies so we bring the right products.

Will party makeup last all evening?

Yes. It uses the same waterproof, long-wear routine as bridal makeup with lighter coverage, and you keep blotting sheets and your lip shade for a refresh.

Do you do hairstyling as part of party makeup?

Yes, hair is included — a blow-dry, waves, a bun or a half-up chosen against your outfit and neckline rather than charged as an add-on.
