It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dhanya. From the time I reached out to her for my trials, Dhanya was just a call away. I had just one look for my main day and I am super glad and happy that I chose Dhanya. She even gave me suggestions on the kind of jewellery rental, saree colors to pick. Best part - she was always open to hearing a feedback, which made it super easy to work with her. On the day of the wedding, she arrived on time and was done with make-up and hair on time which gave me enough time to get my portraits clicked! :D. I also loved the draping by her stylist Alisha. I would definitely recommend Dhanya if you want a natural finishing look for your big day! Thanks Dhanya :)

Dhanya is an amazing makeup artist and so so competent and prompt. She styled me for 3 events for my wedding and styled my husband for the reception as well! She made us both so comfortable and gave us exactly the look we were hoping for. Because of the pandemic we couldn’t do a trial, but we talked through what I was hoping for multiple times before the event and I was so happy with the end result. I always wanted to look like myself at the wedding - and Dhanya fully nailed it! She has a great team as well - she had brought an assistant to help with my mom’s makeup - and my mom loved her subtle final look! My 2 saris and lehenga were also draped beautifully by Alisha and they stayed in place all throughout the events despite having to move around a lot. I want to especially call out how prompt she is - and because of that I was fully relaxed and made it to all my events and photo sessions on time! I’ll definitely recommend Dhanya to all my friends getting married soon!!

I discovered Dhanya through her Insta page while I was researching on different makeup artists for my wedding. It was one of the best decisions that I made. She is a thorough professional in terms of punctuality, communication and her work. She understood and made suggestions on the different looks for the wedding and ensured that there was no last minute changes. The whole experience was pleasurable and zero fuss. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a bridal makeup artist !

She has a keen eye for detail and what I admire the most is that she is naturally instinctive, it's like she just knows exactly what color or shade will make your best feature pop. Her less-is-more attitude is what drives most of her make-up decisions and that I think is her primary and most plausible trait. She did an awesome job for my wife on our wedding day, who looked every inch the most beautiful bride on her D day. Thank you so much Dhanya for your time and your service.

Someone really close to me suggested Dhanya! And I am so glad she did. Dhanya is not only a wonderful makeup artist but also a beautiful human being! My wedding was supposed to happen in June 2020 but it got pushed to November 2020 cause of Covid-19. Unlike any other vendors, Dhanya made sure that she did not give my dates to anyone else as she had committed to me. I am the kind of a person who likes to look myself even after makeup. She made sure of that, and how beautifully. She did my makeup for sangeet and wedding and I was so so so satisfied with the makeup and just so stress-free. Not only was she quick, but so thorough. She was taking pictures to see how the makeup looked under light and on camera. While I was stressing about getting late, because of her the bride was ready and waiting for the groom. That's how efficient and amazing she is at her work. I hadn't slept in over 48 hours but she spoke to me, made sure I was calm, confident and beautiful for my special day! I would anyday prefer her over anyone else I know if I had to! And I would definitely recommend her to people I know for their special days. Dhanya, you were really great! Thank you so much!

Dhanya is a phenomenal makeup artist and I highly recommend her. She is extremely professional and makes you feel at ease. I did not do a trial with her as I trusted that should be able to execute what I had in mind and she most definitely did and more. She accentuated my features, made me look natural with a certain glow and was far from the 'heavy and cakey' makeup look. My makeup was absolutely flawless at the end of 12 hour long day including a long night of dancing and didn't feel the need for a touch up. I couldn't have been happier with my look!

I have known Dhanya for a long time now and I have seen how she has grown with time and her work has come to gain a lot of recognition and admiration. I, personally, love her style. She has a keen eye for detail and what I admire the most is that she is naturally instinctive, it's like she just knows exactly what color or shade will make your best feature pop. Her less-is-more attitude is what drives most of her make-up decisions and that I think is her primary and most plausible trait. She did an awesome job on my cousin sister who looked every inch the most beautiful bride on her D-day. I am eagerly waiting to have Dhanya do my own makeup some day, I couldn't imagine having anybody else but her for my own special day! She is gifted and I wish her all the very best in all her future endeavours!

since im not from bangalore I was clueless with respect to bridal make-up artists & hairstylist in the city. I asked around, and a very senior make-up artist in Bangalore recommended Dhanya to me, I got in touch with her and we discussed a few looks over the phone, she shared some of her previous work with me and I loved all of it. From our very first conversation I felt super comfortable and confident having chosen her even without having done a trial. I flew to bangalore a few months later and did just one trial, the whole experience was so much fun, she made me feel at ease and understood exactly what I wanted. I was very nervous about wearing a lot of makeup, I disliked having foundation on my face, and wasn't used to having my entire face done professionally, but she stuck to the brief, and made sure I still looked like myself on my wedding day. Shes one of the easiest artists to work with, and if you allow her to take over without much interference, she'll do her best job!

I needed my makeup done for my wedding and only had a few days to find someone. Dhanya was recommended by another Makeupartist who was not available on the same day. I contacted Dhanya and she sent her bridal works as it was not available on Instagram. I knew immediately that she is going to be my Makeupartist. On the day of the wedding she was very clear on what she is going to do. I completely trusted her and let her do her job. The colors she chose complemented my face and my saree so perfectly. My makeup looked great in the photos and I was just really pleased with the whole experience and final outcome. Thank you Dhanya

I had 3 trials with different makeup artists, Dhanya was the last I I confirmed her immediately after she finished my trial, best decision ever and I could not have been happier! She understood who I was as a person and what I wanted for my special day and executed that far beyond I could have imagined!! Could not believe how I looked even though it felt like I wasn't wearing any make-up at all, her base and blending skills are on point! On the day of the wedding she was on time and very calm and composed right through ever with all the madness around the house. How careful she was with everything and the number of times she cleaned and sanitised her brushes, products [which are too die for] and hands surprised me. My mother and I looked STUNNING and would recommend Dhanya & her team any day! Not just for your wedding but any other time you have a big function to attend!

Dhanya was one of the easiest decisions that I made as a bride-to-be. We have worked together for a few years now, and didn’t have to give it any thought before I booked her for the D-day. The two things your makeup artist must have on your special day is finesse and patience. She personifies both! We had a trial about a month prior, and she was kind enough spend almost half a day, to try two looks on me. (Both turned out to be A-one, of course!) And as for how I looked on my big day - the pictures speak for themselves. Forever grateful to her for her restraint and impeccable skills. :) So, do I recommend her to every bride on the cards? Yes, and yes.

I could not have asked for a better makeup artist than Dhanya. I had my makeup trial and she did exactly what I asked for, and better. On my wedding day she did makeup for me, my sister and my mum. All were perfect and got compliments from everyone. She even left the lipstick she used on me with my friend for touch up later, which I Dunzoed it back to her the next day. I was very impressed with this because I felt she really cares about the makeup lasting long . I really cannot thank Dhanya enough for being such an important part of my day.

I live in London and had my best friends daughters wedding in Bangalore. My designer suggested and booked Dhanya & her team for 3 functions. I was so happy with the makeup. I was very reluctant on getting makeup done on my matured skin. But Me and my daughter looked great and received very good compliments from everyone. Dhanya used high end products which was very impressive. She was always on time and waited for us without complaining even though there was delay from our end.

Dhanya was recommended to me by my wedding photographer and I’m so happy she was available for my wedding. She was very responsive and figured out a trial date for me in between her busy schedule. At my trial, she showed me few different options for my eye makeup and hairstyles. The morning of my wedding Dhanya & team were right on time even a little early. I was so calm all morning because I knew I was in such great hands. Our makeup looked great for 6 hours straight. If you’re thinking of booking Dhanya , act quick before she gets booked up!

She uses high quality makeup brands that lasts you all day and don’t wear off. She insisted on finishing the makeup half an hour before the time I gave her, which was great because we got enough time for great pictures:) Very happy with the service.

Dhanya did my makeup for my wedding. I have dusky skin tone and always wanted someone who would not make me look fair. Dhanya just enhanced my features and made me look fresh! This is exactly what I wanted. Having seen work of multiple makeup artists, I think using light makeup and making a bride look her best is a rare skill and she does it beautifully! Also, she is very good listener, patient and quick! She even helped my sister and mom when they were not that happy with their makeup. If you want to feel amazing and yourself, definitely go with Dhanya:)

I have been following dhanya's work for past 5 years now. I first saw her work during a shoot and loved it and was waiting for the time she officially starts bridal make-up. I booked dhanya as soon as my wedding date was fixed, right from roka to reception with all functions in between, Dhanya was by my side through it all. I am so glad that I found her for my special day, her work is impeccable and the she comes with an entourage of these amazing girls who are perfect to take up make-up of family and friends, additionally a girl who is an awesom draper. My wedding was supposed to happen in Lucknow and I was the happiest that she said yes for travel. The best part about her is her punctuality. She will make sure you are ready and glowing for each function. My wedding was an elaborate affair and I looked my best for each, though the functions literally switched from one to another. When it comes to make-up and hair, I can't think of anyone better than her. Whether it's executing what I wanted or suggesting what would work better, Dhanya is always at her absolute best. She made sure my hair and make-up looked flawless and though the functions were long, nothing was ever out of place. She is a thorough professional and I would not recommend anyone else but her to make your the day even more memorable and absolutely fuss free.

Dhanya is a very talented makeup artist. She uses internationally acclaimed products and is very particular with the hygiene. Me and my family were very impressed with the punctuality of Dhanya and her entire team. She made me very comfortable from the time I went to the trial. Explained me the skin care routine as well which I had to follow till the wedding. For all my functions Dhanya created very subtle but fresh look exactly as I wanted. Even though there were so many delays entire day, and people were screaming around to hurry up, Dhanya remained very calm and was very fast in finishing her makeup. Couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my big day ?❤️

She understood my skin so well that everything she did complimented my skin. I am person who never wears too much of makeup and was particular that I was natural look, she delivered it to perfection. After my trial session with her I was 100 % confident in her abilities as she understood my wants so well. I am sure that for any future major events my go to person for make up would be DHANYA without a doubt.
