Makeup Artists!!

so I came across two makeup artist websites that I thought I should mention here.
The first one I'm going to introduce to you is Chandani Singh based ofcourse in Delhi...

You may check out her website here

The second makeup artist from Delhi is Shikha Goel and you may find out more about her here

I must get in touch with them and find out more what say?

  1. heylo bride to be !!

    Hope you are having a great (and tiring) time planning your wedding. I am myself getting married soon. I got my engagement makeup done from a great makeup artist in noida.I am not sure whether noida is comfortable to you or not, but i loved the makeup was simply beautiful. And the best part is that she didn't turn me into red/pink manequin.I can share some of the engagement pics if you want. Have fun and take care :)

  7. Hi there, even I am looking forward to my wedding in Jan 2010. I have booked Vidya Tikari for the D day but am just keeping my fingers crossed as nobody in my family/friends got ready from her. It's that we heard her name so much and I found Ambika's make-up a bit too loud when she did it for my friend!! Hope everything goes fine..

  10. Hi Kanika! I was delighted to find information on bridal make up artists in Delhi. I am in the US but getting married in Delhi and struggling to find information. Can you share your thoughts on make up artists that you tried? Would love to hear your thoughts

  11. Hi xo!
    I got my makeup done at PLUM which is a really nice place to get ready for your big day..Susan the owner of the establishment works at the PLUM outlet in GK and there is one in Gurgaon where i got got ready since it was closer to the venue...
    I got ready by a senior makeup artist called Usha and was very happy with the results..i have some pics posted here.
    A lot of people go to Ambika Pillai...but i think it is slightly overrated. A lot of people also recommend Vidya Tikari and all i know from a friend of mine is that she is too loud..but again i have no personal experience with her :) shivani a recent bride who has commented up here might be able to share some pictures with us since she got ready at vidya tikari...what say shivani? :)

    ReplyDelete
  12. I've booked vidya tikari for my wedding in may but I'm kinda skeptical since I don't know anyone who've done their makeup from her. Me and the groom are from Canada but we're getting married in Delhi and so it would be really nice if we could get some more reviews and pics of brides that have gotten their makeup done from vidya!

    1. Hi Kanika,
      I stubled across this page as I was searching for bridal make up artists in Delhi, and saw your comment. I am in the same situatio as you describe. My fiance and I are in Toronto but travelling to Delhi for the wedding, and I am very confused with regards to the make up. Where did u end up getting ur make up done from?

  13. Hi there. My sister-in-law got her make up done from Plum and was very happy with the results. My friends suggested Shalini Vasisht and Vidya Tiakri as well. Which one is the best amongst these three?? My wedding is in May.

  14. Hey there,

    Great blog and congrats for your wedding!

    I am getting married in December. There is ample time to go, however, I am a little worried for I have never carried make up and heavy dresses. More of jeans and t-shirts person.

    I am looking for a bridal from East Delhi or Noida. I realize Kanika, you have got some information from Rinki on her make up on engagement from Noida. Could you please share it with me? I can email you may email id on your mail address, once you confirm.

    Also, it will be great if you or anyone else could share any recommendations of any other make up artists in Noida. Thing to keep in mind, I dont wanna spend a fortune on this, and I need simple colors, minimum of reds and pinks.

    One more thing, could you please tell me which are the best cost effective places to buy wedding sarees. I wanna go for saree too.

  15. Hi Shubhra
    Thank you for your lovely comment!
    What is your budget for the wedding saree?
    Ushnak Mal in south ex (there are three of them in south ex you should definitely look at the one in the back lane smallest of the three shops), Amaaya Perfection house in south ex and rajauri (thats where i got mine from) are good aoptions according to me!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hi Shubhra,
    I contacted Rinki and here's what she has to say..
    "Sure !! I got make my engagement & bridal make up done from sec 44.
    The studio name is Profile and the owner Sonali does all the makeup.
    She has a great taste and best part she doesnt make you all pinky or
    red. You have the proof from the pictures :). Let me know if she wants
    to know anything else, i will be happy to help(god i sound like the
    vodafone ads ;)"

    Hope that helps!
    Cheers

  17. Thanks Kanika for answering the questions so quickly. Will keep posting more as I find myself getting confused again!

    For the saree budget, I got no clue what the market is like for sarees and lehengas, so no budget as on date. But yes, i have a tuf time spending on clothes, that too the ones I may not wear again :)

    Thanks again and I guess I shall keep following ur blog now.

  23. Hello Kanika

    Your blog is great and a ray of hope for me. I am getting married in November in Delhi but unfortunately have no idea about whom to approach for good bridal make-up & photographer.Would be great if you can share some links/contacts with respect to same. If you know of any photographer who is creative and different from the usual, please share with me as I don't want the usual studio people with their flashes all around the venue.

    Regards

  27. Hi!!
    Im Khushboo and I'm getting married in November end. Most of my functions are gonna be in and around South Delhi and Gurgaon.
    I've zeroed in on Plum, Vidya's senior artist and a make-ap artist called Simran in Shankar Road. She runs her own salon since the last 10-12 years. Please guide me as I'm highly confused.
    Also, please share your engagement pics with me if you have got it done from any of these make-up artists.
    Thanks :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hello Khushboo!

    Congratulations on you wedding! Plum in Gurgaon is where i got my makeup done and was very happy with the results. I am a member of Simran's also..and find that she is very good for fair skin. If you have dark skin then her makeup tends to make you look dull! Her light party makeup is better than a bridal I feel. But this is my Presonal opinion.. I have no experience with vidya tikari but my friends tell me she is loud.

    All the best
    Kanika

  36. Hey Hitika and urvashi

    You can try Anu Mehra. She has worked with famous brands like Oriflame, Avon, Yamaha Bikes. Recently my sister tried and makeup was done nicely.
    Don't try Ambika Pillai she charge like anything and results are nt that good. Check Anu mehra Site

  38. I never thought I would be faced with this dilemma. I belong to Delhi but getting married in Pune in Dec 2010. So the planning jitters are beginning to set in, since Pune is so very new to me and my family. Can the ladies direct me to a good makeup specialist in Pune ? and if there aren;t any , what are the options ... ferry them from Delhi or Mumbai? Ghosh !!( wish I could have the wedding venue changed).. Any pointers are more than welcome ..... anxious bride-to be-Shipra

  40. Hi,

    This is truly a remarkable place to sort out and discuss the confusion! Thanks for the great platform Kanika.I am getting married in Dec 2010 and only get back to India in Nov. So basically i have very little time to decide on the makeup and saree/lehenga.

    I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with Makeup bit as I am not too keen on Ambika and Vidya coz of the budget and Plum, inspite of excellent reviews and great pics could be difficult as the wedding is in Noida.

    Would appreciate some help on this and the clothes bit as I am clearly confused between a more practical option- saree or lehenga.

    Thanks in advance

  42. Hello Joey

    I think now is a good time to select your outfit as and stitching (blouses etc) or alterations will take time. then you will need to match your makeup, look, accessories and shoes with it. Time will fly and you don't want to keep the most important thing for the last few hurried days!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hi Priya

    Sorry I have no idea about make up artists in NOIDA...perhaps you could try Loreal or Lakme Beauty Salon.

    About sari and lehnga, I personally went for sari as lehnga is of no use after the wedding...but many girl's choose it since it is for the biggest days of their lives and want to feel special.
    Sari on the other hand is very versatile. It can be draped in many different ways and may be used again after your wedding is over...the choice is entirely yours!

  47. Wow Kanika!
    Kudos!

    This is a superb resource for Brides to come & read about the pre wedding prep!

    Being a Wedding Photographer, I get so many questions from Brides - like What make-up artist you recommend.. What kind of styling would suit them.. etc.. The list is never-ending!

    Me & my wife love to help the brides through the process, but this page is unique. By documenting the process, you have given them a bird's eye view to a real wedding!
    :)


    I noticed a lot of brides-to-be ask - how good vidya tikari is. So here is a small compilation of a Bride & Bridesmaids who got their make-up done by her recently - http://thebigfatindianwedding.blogspot.com/2010/02/wedding-collage.html

  50. Hieee Kanika,

    Im getting married on Valentine's Day Feb 14th & cant even begin to tell you how excited i am about the BIG DAY :))). My weddings in Delhi but i am basically from Florida so its gonna be a BIG FAT PUNJABI WEDDING for both me & my fiance ,since we are both from the States. So u can imagine the EXCITEMENT hahaha !!!!

    After goin thru the info i gathered from this amazing blog & my contacts i have zeroed in on Chandni Singh whose a very well known established Make Up Artist based in Delhi/Noida. Just had a trial session with her and cant tell how GOOD she is !!! She is so cordial, she in fact invited me to her place rather than send one of her assistants which was so sweet of her to do and she is fun to talk classy as hell...U can figure out from the range of products she uses is quite impressive to say the least.

    I dint want like a thickly layered look or that made up cakey look and Chandni's work is just wat i was looking for. The makeup during the trial was there yet not and the attention to detail that she gives is way above the other trials i had @Lakme/Loreal Salons and other artists that i tried. It was kinda too in your face & garish if u know wat i mean girls...Newaysss this wasnt the case with her work at all .. there is this translucency...the word is FLAWLESS ,it reelly is!! Even my cousin shivangi loved it jus as much as i did :)

    All you girls out there if you are on the lookout for a wonderful make up artist for that one special day or make that days like sangeet,cocktails hahaha i tell Chandni truly impressed me totally and she is quite competitive in terms of her charges as well.

    My cousins and myself have already booked her for all my functions...Yippee cant w8 to look GORGEOUSSS on the BIG DAY ;)!!!!

    THANK YOU SOOO MUCH KANIKA FOR CREATING THIS WONDERFUL & AMAZINGLY RESOURCEFUL BLOG. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GAL XXX

  52. Hey, I am getting married in Pune on Dec 9th and need a good make up artist who can do a clean make up. Any recommendations?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Hey Kanika,
    Am just writing in to thank you for providing all the valuable information any girl would need to make her D Day memorable!

    Though deciding on a make up artist was the hardest part. Am the kind of girl who likes make up a lot..yet i dnt prefer the over the top layered look. i like a lot of definition to the eyes - medium blush & natural soft pink lips & a glossy minimal foundation.Two of my other girl friends got married earlier this year & they looked like horror stories on their wedding day. they got dressed at ambikas & meenakshi dutt. they were painted white & had red/orange eye shadows! i went for trials to everybody u can think of - ambika-gopika-sussanne- shalini-plum-looks- anu mehra! but the make up was not wat i was looking for. most of my friends had recommened anu kaushik & chandni singh - but they were too busy to give trials & refused. even Angelina joseph came highly recommended but speaking to her wasnt great. finally i zeroed in on chandni singh - coz she was polite & warm & was ready to hear me out. she told me to send her reference images of how i wanted to look & i did so. she assured me that the make up wl be exactly how i wanted it to be. the best part about having her as your make up artist is that she caters at your doorstep (which makes it so convenient). Shes worth every penny she asks for. My only regret now?? I wish i had booked her for all my functions because i look exceptional on my wedding day & just about ok on others.to cut costs i visited salons close to my place. the only brands i saw with her were chanel , dior & MAC + she came with everything- lights-mirror & even a chair!! Shes just brilliant! i completely recommend her!

  55. Hi Jasmin and others

    Must say, this blog is great.

    I am getting married in Jan 2011 and v confused abt make up artist. am based n north delhi (so MOdel Town and kamla nagar is convenient to me). Almost zeroed on Simmi Ghai of xpressions - but one of my frnd told terrible experience she had with her.

    Now again in fix - whom to finalise, as convenience dat day matter and make up atrtist shld be near to your residence/ venue.

    Jasmine can u pls share contact details of Chandni Singh - where she is based, hope not south delhi.

    Can somebdy recommed gud make up artist in north delhi.

    Shalini Vashishth is also far frm my place. other options are ALPS n kamla nagar (only Bharti Taneja's daughter (she charges Rs. 18000) or other trained artist does the make up or sr. artist at ambika pilla n model town.

    pls fill me in, i have to finalise dis thing ASAP. Thanks for wonderful blog Kanika!!

  59. Hi Sunita if you havent finalised yet just get in touch with Chandni coz like shikha too mentioned her product lineup is the best vfm and secondly she is based in NOIDA i went to her place fer trials.Mentioning her contact details below


    Hi Sonia i feel you are in 2 minds. Well here's my 2 cents if you gonna look like million bucks on your BIG day then its worth it gal:) Personally if you are anything as picky n choosy about your look and since you have asked me just get in touch with Chandni fer a trial it will really help. She is so meticulous and her attention to details is wat impressed me the most.

    Coming back to charges if you see the stuff she has and uses its totally justified plus the effort she puts into the whole thing.You will thank me on this wonderful blog later trust me on this one hon

    chandni@chandnisingh.com this is her email.

    MERRY XMAS KANIKA & All my Gal Pals on the blog :)

  66. Hi everyone. I am getting married in November 2011 and apart from bridal make up, I am also wanting to soon decide on the pre-bridal skin care package..

    From what I have read, 2-3 names appear very frequently, they being Vidya, Ambica and others...

    Even I was wondering to book Ambica but I have read here that her make up is too loud..
    Are there any other good options in west Delhi? I don't mind spending upto 10-15k for bridal make up.. as this day is only gonna come once

  71. Hi all,
    I totally agree with Jasmin's opinion about Chandni Singh. She did the makeup for my cousin Priya on her engagement in February and she did a terrific job. Priya looked stunning and chic although it seemed as though she was not wearing any makeup at all. Isn't that what most of us expect from a make up artist? And yet its so hard to get! Most others doll u up with pinks and reds making it look garish! So now she has happily booked chandni for all the events of the July wedding. And considering that she comes totally geared up to the location of ur choice, its one big worry less for the bride's family. And ya, she is so pleasant and friendly that she puts everybody at ease. She is total Value for Money.
    Separately, I had a session with Chandni for personal grooming. I had never been confident abt using make up and limited myself to kajal and lip gloss for all official as well as private events. And couple of hours with Chandni and it was as if she taught me magic. Now I wear make up to work and to social events confidently and even try out different looks on night outs! The best part is that while almost everyone at work has complimented me for looking fresh and pretty throughout the day, few could make out that it was makeup which made all the difference;-) I feel so good and confident now and I'm lovin' it!!
    So check her out girls! For bride or pride!! Cheers!:-)

    Well i must thank you all for your help specially you kanika. I got married last year and searched like every crazy brode to be , for the parlours. My wedding was in gurgaon so i finally decided to go for PLUM. It was amazing.I was so happy with the nice and suttle make up done by Usha. It was too guud.Shez an expert . Although i feel my hair do could have been better.But dont feel hesitant at all regarding make up from Usha(shez a senior makeup artist over there).Have fun... :)

  110. Hey Kanika

    First of all a big thank you to start this blog and especially this thread!!!

    I just recently got married in South Delhi and had booked Rakesh Seth for my events but due to some unforunate situation, my bookings got cancelled last minute and I had to book someone at the last minute.

    I booked Martina Wu in Shivalik and my cousin recommended her as she was previously with Ambica but now has her own setting.

    Well I can vouch for her for the work she did on me really, even I was surprised and is a total recommendation for any bride to be.

    I always wanted someone who does no do very loud make-up so Ambika n Vidya were a no-no for me always but Chandni was a lil too soft for my taste and yes expensive so thats why I had zeroed on Rakesh Seth (no doubt he's great). But I trusted Martina n she really did wonders on me n I simply loved her work. The good part is her staff does excellent hairdo as well.

    I can mail my pics if someone would like to checkout her work. She aint that expensive as well comparatively but her salon is pretty well known with good crowd always.

  114. I’ve been following this blog for quite sometime now, my wedding is in December. I’ve been looking for a make up artist for my self. I have been researching for a bit and met a few artists as well. The only thing Ive found common in some is that their make-up style is quite gaudy, also they are a little stubborn about their style of work. A friend of mine also got married recently who hired Aakriti Kochar for her cocktail and wedding. I met with her and explained exactly what I want. I researched her and her looks , I liked her style. Her make up is not at all gaudy and she gives avery classy yet simple look. She doesnt hide your natural features and in short doesnt make you look like a clown which Im sorry to say but most artists in Delhi do these days. The only drawback and weird thing I found was that Aakriti doesn’t give trials. But on looking through her work I was convinced she was what I was looking for. She is expensive I agree but she seems to be worth it. She has quoted a price of approx Rs.20000 for my cocktail and Rs25000 for my wedding since I’ve opted for the airbrush package. She is young but she has a good experience. On talking with her I found out she is the head make up artist and spokesperson for Oriflame India. It was quite assuring to know she has done make up for names like Demi Moore, Kate Moss and Mrs.Roberto Cavalli for a wedding in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. So how much could go wrong? lol.

    She made me feel comfortable and like doctors these days its important that a make up artist makes a bride feel the same way for the most important day in her life.

  115. Hey Girls,

    I have been following these blogs and came across so many talented makeup artists in Delhi. I got in touch with them and met a few whose work looked promising. I am finally booking Aakriti Kochar for my wedding makeup. Her work looks impressive and subtle , quite like the choices of us young girls. I suggest you all visit her facebook page : www.facebook.com/aakritikocharmakeup and definitely meet and decide for yourself.

    Best wishes
