Luxe by Sona Nalinan

Absolutely amazing experience! Created a flawless, skin-like finish that looked incredibly natural yet stunning. The transition to Mandrakoodi was seamless, with a quick yet perfect makeup and hairstyle change. Her skill, speed, and attention to detail were truly impressive. Worth every penny—highly recommend

Had an amazing experience with Sona! She really understood what I wanted and made me feel like the best version of myself on my big day. The makeup lasted beautifully, looked great in photos, and still felt natural. Super professional yet easy to talk to. Thank you, Sona ❤️.

I booked an appointment with Sona back in January/February after seeing so many amazing reels. When I finally spoke to her, I instantly felt comfortable. I had never worn makeup before and was unsure what would look best on me, but Sona was so understanding and helpful. She took the time to explain everything and created a look that was both simple and elegant. From being strangers to becoming friends, I truly appreciated the relaxed and reassuring conversation we had. Sona's professionalism and expertise were evident, and everyone loved my makeup for both my engagement and wedding. I would definitely go back to her and highly recommend her for her incredible skills. So much love for Sona and her amazing team!

I came to know about Sona and her work through her Instagram account and I was really impressed with the photos and videos posted in it. When I contacted Sona, she gave me her work details and clarified all my queries. She had informed me in prior that she would be available only to get me ready for the church ceremony in the morning as she had been booked for another appointment in the afternoon and adviced me to rethink if I still wanted to take her service on my day as she would be able to help with only my first look. However, I finally made my call to book Sona few months prior to my wedding date. Sona was always available to provide her advices upon my requests and schedule any calls if necessary. Sona is a freelance make up artists who travels to her client’s location. She does not provide pre- bridal session, hence her booking was for 3 hours with me. Additionally, she made sure to get all details of my wedding day look in prior ( picture of the gown, photo of me and what look I wanted). I was pretty confident in Sona. She arrived on time along with her assistant and she did her magic on me turning me into a beautiful bride. Unfortunately there was a mishap with my wedding gown ( the zip malfunction). I really wanted to thank her assistant who finally fixed it for me. Meanwhile, Sona made sure to inform the photographers on the delay due to that situation and she also reported to the boutique from where I purchased the gown. To be frank, I had only mentioned to her that I wanted a minimal look and did not provide any further details or references . She did a great work and my hair was styled into a bun. Her make up and my styled hair lasted from morning till evening (8 am to nearly 6 pm) and I never did a touch up in between. I did my right choice with Sona as my make up artist. My family, my finace, and the wedding guests loved my look and given me compliments. Even after I posted pictures in my social media accounts, I have received many queries on the makeup artist. I felt myself in her makeup but in the best version. The look was clean, minimal and perfect to me. Thank you Sona. Loads of love.

Sona did my makeup for all my wedding events and she did an amazing job at it! She made me look equally beautiful yet completely different in all 3 events: north indian look, western look, south indian look. It has been 2 years since the events and even strangers when they see my wedding pics, complement my makeup artist and ask her details. Her makeup was so on point that despite the Kerala weather, outdoor weather, and constant crying I did out of love and emotions- none of it could ruin the makeup and I was as glowy as ever. Thank you Sona, hiring you was the best decision of my life!

I was thrilled with the two makeup looks she created for me; I received compliments from nearly everyone in the room! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone I know! ? Thank you once again, Sona! ❤️

The face makeup was good, but the hair was done poorly, and she had another appointment, so she was in a hurry. She agreed to do light makeup and hair for my mother, but because she was in a rush, she messed up both the hair and the saree draping.
