I have been doing makeup for 10 years, and what started as a passion quickly became my calling. I began by doing makeup for family weddings and friends, fell in love with bridal beauty, and went on to train professionally in bridal, HD and airbrush makeup. More than 500 brides later, I still love South Asian, fusion and Western weddings alike. Today I work with brides, bridal parties and families across Hayward, the Bay Area and California — from intimate ceremonies to multi-day celebrations like the engagement, sangeet, wedding and reception.
I believe makeup should enhance you, not hide you. My signature is soft glam: luminous skin, beautifully defined eyes and a finish that looks flawless in person and on camera. Every look is built to last from the first photo to the final dance.
Your comfort comes first. We start with a relaxed conversation about your outfit, your jewelry, your skin and the feeling you want to have on the day. From there, I prep your skin properly and customize every detail so the finished look feels like you — only more polished.
Being part of someone's big day is a privilege I never take lightly. There is nothing I love more than the moment a bride sees herself in the mirror and simply smiles. Outside of makeup, you will find me with a cup of chai, Bollywood music playing and time spent with my family. I can't wait to meet you and be a part of your story.
With love, Meena
“Meena made me feel so calm on my wedding morning. My makeup was soft, glowing and exactly what I had dreamed of, and it lasted from the first photo to the last dance. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“I was nervous about looking overdone, but Meena gave me a graceful, natural look that was perfect for my daughter's wedding. She was patient, kind and made the whole family feel special. Every photo turned out beautifully.”
“I booked Meena for a holiday party and felt glamorous all night. She listened to what I wanted and my makeup still looked fresh when I got home. I have already recommended her to all my friends.”
