Hey Latika Thank you so much for giving me the exact looks i wanted on all the functions. I must tell you everyone else also including Pranav loved it

"Hey folks, I strongly advise you to attempt Latika’s makeover. She is a master at what she does. My skin is rather delicate, even though she did a gorgeous makeup. She provides excellent value for the money with the services she provides! Thank you, Latika "

I chose Latika to do my makeup for my reception because she was incredibly kind and professional with me despite the fact that there wasn't much time left before the event. The makeup she applied for me also looked amazing. Many thanks to Latika for allaying my concerns and providing what was agreed upon, thanks a ton Madmaskara.

Couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist then Latika . I booked her first time during my engagement when I was way scared for the result but the way it appeared in the end was unbelievable, I didn’t have a second name for my wedding i just booked her right away. I gave her a free hand on makeup up to do it however she likes since i had full faith in her..and trust me i looked like a dream, thanks a lot latika.

Before the wedding she provided best recommendations for the accessories during consultation session. I would anyday and anytime recommend Latika for the magical work she does.

Latika from Mad Mascara is an amazing artist. I booked her for my daughter's wedding last month. She did her job perfectly..My daughter and wife both were happy with the makeup ...Good Luck Latika

Recommended for:

Getting ready with Latika has been great. She is brilliant at what she does and has complete knowledge of her art. She was extremely patient with me and even with my absurd ideas. She is honest and insanely talented. MAKE-UP DONE BY HER WAS FLAWLESS. A perfect blend of everything. Thank you Latika for making me feel special and look beautiful. (love you more for calming me down and being a friend) You are here for a long successful run. All the best ?

Latika is simply ‘The Best’ hands down and having her as my MUA was one of the best decisions ever❤️ She gave me my dream looks for all the events and everyone loved it so much.

Thank you will be a small word for the work Latika did for my wedding function. She was so punctual and so patient throughout, she understood my needs and the look I exactly wanted with such ease. She is truly an artist. Everyone at the wedding complimented me for all my looks and the hairstyle. I wish you good luck and success in the future! Thank you once again! ✨

Stunning working. Absolutely worth it! She's so good with her hands,everybody loved her work.

Recommended for:

Got best makeup service at reasonable cost. Nice makeup work done by the Latika.We had to arrange the wedding requirements within one week. I was really stressed out I contacted Latika.She already had the appointment but agreed to come to our event if i could adjust with the timings which i did.Thanks for your great help .She is very kind and talented makeup artist who understands the customer requirement.

Loved the bridal and prebridal makeup. Great service . Got so many compliments. Keep up the good work. Thank you so much for making me look so gorgeous.

My experience with Madmascara was wonderful. I had my makeup done for all the events of my brothers wedding. Latika was very sweet and accommodating .I left feeling great and my makeup looked amazing !Totally recommend.

Latika from Mad Mascara is one of the most courteous and professional person i have ever met. Highly recommended for wedding functions and party makeup. I booked her for my D day , everyone appreciated my subtle makeup and got so many compliments...Thank You Latika ?

Recommended for:

i only imagined perfect look for my wedding days but latika gave them life and even made me look so much better than i could've imagined. i am very thankful and delighted that i got my bridal make over done by her. Thanks and cheers to very talented and gorgeous latika

Recommended for:

This vendor is highly unreliable and unprofessional. I had booked her for my sis-in-laws bridal makeup. though she did a fairly decent job for the pre wedding , but to our surprise she didn't turn up on the wedding day. when we tried to talk to her about when is she going to reach the venue, she was HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL in her conversation . she used foul language when talking to us which is just not acceptable. we finally managed to get the bridal makeup done by engaging an alternate vendor, from wedmegood, who was kind enough to help us in the crisis situation.

Fabulous work for someone looking for a natural look. All the products used were best in the business. Overall has been a very good experience considering the modern minimalist look that i was looking for.

Recommended for:

Latika is amazing ,and so is her work.She was my friend's makeup artist for her engagement when I first met her. I liked her work so ,contacted her for my big day. I chose a nude makeup style for my big day after much debate about my attire and the latest trends. I don't wear much makeup and don't like the heavy bridal makeup look, so I'm delighted and fortunate to have her as my MUA; she was more than up to mark. I admired her work and would without a doubt suggest her. She also applied the makeup for my mom and sister, earning positive praise.

Recommended for:

I have got my bridal makeup done by Latika. I loved the final look and the whole process was so easy . She explained everything so nicely. We discussed the whole look prior and everything was as the way I wanted it to be.I totally recommend her to everyone.

Recommended for:

I had such a great experience with Latika .I was recommended by a friend to Latika. She is one of the best makeup artists I have worked with. She really made the look turn out to be amazing. She focused on the right details and gave me the exact look that I had wished. I would definitely recommend her services to everyone out there.

Recommended for:

Very nice work done by her,she made me look so pretty,thanks a lot.,totally recommended..

Recommended for:

I met Latika via Wedmegood(I’m so picky with makeup artists as I know exactly what I like )she understood my needs delivered as per my requirements .I felt like I was just chilling with a friend. Her makeup was amazing she made me feel so beautiful and did it exactly how I like it .I would recommend her to absolutely anyone. She’ll make you feel really comfortable in your skin.

Latika did all my makeups for my wedding. They all were different and added a new look in each event. Very talented and thinks on her feet, she had a good range of make up products and one had options to choose from. I got a lot of compliments for all my looks, couldn’t have asked for more. Keep up the great work.

Recommended for:

Latika did an amazing job. She was punctual, polite and very thoughtful. My make up was just as I had wanted it to be - flawless and natural. It added to my overall look. Highly recommended.

Recommended for:

The makeup looked good but not the look I wanted. Something used in the makeup irritated my right eye and caused it constantly tear up throughout the event. After I removed the makeup, the irritation went away. So I’m certain it’s the makeup. The saree draping was okay but not upto the mark. Could be more proactive about planning the look in advance to have a smoother experience on the event day.

An exquisite experience it was. Latika is the best makeup artist, moreover, a really great person. Her skills are so detailed, and subtle. Loved everything about her!

Recommended for:

I must say ..this is one of my best look ever ..I am not a make up girl but I felt so good getting ready by latika ,thank you for giving me the exact look I wanted ❤️❤️❤️...My all family and friends complimented me, ??❤️ thank you so much Latika I am so happy to have you on my special day. Totally recommendable!!

Recommended for:

I had Latika on my wedding day and man she did a wonderful job. I am an I-hate-make-up-person, I get allergies too soon,my skin is too sensitive! She managed to find a balance between bridal make up and not flaring up my skin. Absolutely loved the work. Thank you so much for making me feel so confident on my special day! Totally recommendable!!

Recommended for:

I loved Latikas’s work. She is very confident in what she does. She lives and breathes makeup. She was absolutely amazing with my wedding events. Me and my mom both liked what she did ,we looked absolutely stunning. I could not have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding day. THANK YOU so much Latika!!

Recommended for:

Latika is fantastic. She listens to what you want and what you're comfortable with while also giving inputs on what she thinks will the best. She is also such an easygoing person, made me feel at ease at once, thanks for making my day special ,Highly recommendable.

Recommended for:

Thanks Latika for the amazing makeup for me and my mother ! We got it done for my Sangeet, Wedding and another small family event and received compliments and queries about the makeup artist every single time. We are lucky to have Latika.

Too good make up artist. Latika Simply reads your mind. Very humble and polite. I am really thankful to her for making my day very special. She really did her job in very precise manner.

Latika’s work is extremely good and she does her work amazingly , I was super impressed with gorgeous look that she gave me on my wedding day. I was looking very pretty and got lots of compliments. Thank you Latika for amazing work.

I could not have been any happier with My Makeup.My wedding makeup was everything i ever wanted.I am so happy with how my makeup turned out and lasted throughout the entire night . I'm so happy that I chose Latika for my wedding day and I would highly recommend her!

Latika was wonderful on my wedding day - creating the perfect look according to my choice.she created different looks for all my three bridal events.I wanted a natural look and she nailed it. She was on time and stuck to the agreed schedule, meaning I didn't have to worry about timings myself on the day. Thanks .Highly recommend.

“I wanted a natural look for my wedding day, and in the budget that i have she was the only one I found the kind of makeup i was looking for.Latika completely listened to my preferences and understood what i wanted, I was so happy with how I looked, and everything lasted all day which I didn’t think could even happen. So all in all it was a great experience for me. Devanshi

Recommended for:

I had hired Latika as make up artist for my wedding. She is extremely professional and did a wonderful job. As promised by her the make up was subtle and complemented my looks perfectly. My wedding make up was done at 8 pm and I carried the same look without any touch ups till the next day morning up to 9-10 am. I would highly recommend booking Madmascara!!

Recommended for:

Madmascara,just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work and beautiful styles you created for me and my mother .We had the most perfect day and i loved everything about my makeup.

Recommended for:

Latika came and did mine, my Mums makeup for my wedding. I absolutely loved my make-up and got so many compliments all day. My Mum looks beautiful too.Latika is good at her job and i would recommend anyone to book her, if they want professional,longlasting make up for the most important day of your life! Thank you again.

Recommended for:

Latika was recommended to me by my friend and I’m so happy she was available for my wedding! From my first inquiry I knew she was going to be awesome! She was very responsive and even asked for some photos to gave her an idea of my weeding inspiration. The night of my wedding Latika was right on time even a little early. Our makeup looked great all night long .I can’t recommend Latika enough, she is so talented at her work and you can tell she really loves what she does.

Recommended for:

Latika was really sweet, personable and so easy to work with. She also made you feel so comfortable which is really important. You could tell from the moment you met her that she knew exactly what she was doing and that she loves her job : )She really did an amazing job, I looked beautiful! I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Recommended for:

I booked Latika for my engagement function. we had predecided a look which was almost a nude look but the final outcome did not look very similar and was too strong for my liking so be prepared to look different from a look you have chosen before. I'm not very confrontational so it may be my fault that I didn't bring this up myself right then but in any case, the minimum expectation is that if an MUA shows a makeup style themselves as an option they'll be able to replicate it. at the time of the booking I had asked if the booking included draping and I was told it does but on the day of the event there was no separate person who could drape along with the MUA. this is fine as MUAs themselves may drape dupattas but Latika didn't seem to have experience in this and was unsure of how to drape. overall - I was not happy with my look (so unhappy that I have decided to not add any part of my engagement/Sangeet night in our wedding trailer) Good things - she reached the venue right on time. she also did my mom's makeup which was pretty good and everyone liked it.

I absolutely loved the makeup they did for me for my special day. The makeup was very natural and subtle, just how I wanted it. They made me feel so so beautiful on my important day. Thankyou so. much madmascara. Recommended.

I have troublesome skin (it is oily and I am prone to acne), I spoke to a lot of makeup artists who were bent on using an Airbrush (because it makes them more money, I guess)..Latika was the first one who strongly recommended me not to go for Airbrush and suggested some great light-diffusing products that applied natural shimmer (and not the cakey one), plus it stayed for so long and did not do any damage to my hyper-sensitive skin. She was very pleasing in her personality as well; never made me feel as if I was just another bride for her, thumbs up! :)

Recommended for:

Her products were something that I have seen top tier makeup artists use for 50,000/- Before speaking with Latika, I did not even think that a MUA would want to use an Anastasia or a HUDA Beauty product in the range of 25,000/- (honestly, I was pleasantly shocked) Now, to her attitude - not for a moment she spoke or behave like somebody who has there to make a quick buck out of this. Right from booking her services, her team was extremely proactive in suggesting the kind of looks that would go well on me. On the day, her crew was on the venue at time and went out of their way to make me feel special (more than my relatives actually lol) Anyway, I would recommend her no end.

Recommended for:

I used Mad Mascara's services for my d-day. The one thing they stood out for was the spread of the products they used. I am not a big Mac fan and to see a makeup artist show up with Kat Von D and Anastasia was refreshing in itself. And I was even more happy when I heard their charges. I don;t think anybody offers these products in the prices that Mad Mascara offers. I would very happily recommend Latika and Mad Mascara to a bride who wants to look like a princess but not an overdrawn one :)

Recommended for:

It is rare to find somebody in this business who is passionate and professional about their work. Mad Mascara is one of them. From the moment I signed them up, Latika was extremely courteous and forthcoming in her approach for me. She spent extra hours figuring out the look that would go well on me and worked not like another makeup artist but as a professional who wanted me to be at my best. On the day, her crew was sharp on time, had no special demands and were at the venue with us till the moment I had to get involved in the rituals. I was also particularly impressed by their products. They were all very soft on the skin and the makeup lasted for a good 24 hours after the marriage. What more can one ask for?

Recommended for:

I’m so glad that I went with Madmascara for my wedding! I had a morning wedding so I had to get up super early to get ready . Latika perked us right up with her wonderful Makeup:) Thank you again Latika for making me feel glamorous.

Recommended for:

Latika was recommended to me by a friend and I’m so happy she was available for my wedding! From my first inquiry I knew she was going to be awesome! She was very responsive. On the day of my wedding Latika was right on time even a little early. I looked amazing! I was so calm because I knew I was in such great hands. My makeup looked great all night. Latika is so talented at her work and you can tell she really loves what she does. I would highly recommend her.

Recommended for:

I could not have asked for a better makeup artist than Latika.She was incredibly professional, highy skilled, organised, and lovely. she did exactly what I asked for, and better. On my wedding day she did makeup for me and my mum. Both were flawless, I cannot say enough how beautiful and perfect both the makeup was. She definitely was an integral part of how well the day went in the lead up to the wedding. I really cannot thank Latika enough for being such an important part of my day.

Recommended for:

Latika is professional as well as too good at her work. Highly supportive manneristic and well awared of what look suits good on you. Thanks Latika for my beautiful on time and adorable makeup of my wedding. I highly recommend her for any special event in all respects be it her products her way of makeup hairdo ideas and time management everything she excels...keep doing great Latika

Recommended for:

"Latika is very professional and knowledgeable with cosmetics. She can recommend brands and colors that are right for you. She excels in professional application skills and also provides tips and tricks to clients. I highly recommend her services!"

Recommended for:

"Latika did an amazing job on my makeover. The contouring was unbelievable. It was flawless at the end of a long night of dancing! I never even had to touch anything up, except for the lips after having dinner.

Recommended for:

Availed Mad Mascara’s services for my engagement and wedding. The artist had a very warm and helpful personality along with the skills that we had hired her for. Her palettes and foundation did not go overboard on me, the one thing I was really scared about so that was a relief. I wanted subtlety which Mad Mascara delivered well. I would recommend them - Sandhya.

Recommended for:

The team at Mad Mascara is doing some high quality work at affordable prices. I have seen MUAs charge double of what they do and deliver not even half of what Latika and her team does. Deducting one star because her hairdresser was a little rude but overall, she is a fine artist.

Recommended for:

Madmascara was selected by my daughter for my 25th anniversary. Being a woman in my 50s, I am naturally digitally illiterate but downloaded this app to write a review for them :) From the moment Latika came at the venue, she was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. I had heard stories about makeup folks being rigid but Latika was accomodating and how - even ended up doing a complimentary makeover for my daughter. Who does that?! Maybe for the first time in my life, my friends are still complementing my looks a month after the function. I wish Madmascara all the luck!

Recommended for:

Latika was brilliant and did flawless work! She did me my sister and my mum makeup as well.I couldn't speak highly enough of her, she did such a great job. Everything went really well on the day!

Recommended for:

I love getting experts to work on my looks before a big occasion. Mad Mascara's personalized approach towards my makeup was a refreshing difference! Right from my first call with them to the final outcome, they treated me like a princess. Hooked for life. Thank you making me feel so special.

Recommended for:

I am not even going to speak with anybody else for all my and my family's makeup needs other than Latika. Enough said!

Recommended for:

It was an absolute delight to work with Latika & Mad Mascara. Even though everybody claims to be an expert, Latika sounded like one from our first phone call. From getting an in-depth understanding of the occasion, theme, dress to the overall personality, she nailed it from the get-go. Even though they have an affordable price point, her work was easily worth twice her billing. Truly exceptional and highly recommended!

Recommended for:

An absolute gem. We were on the lookout for a makeup artist after my younger sister's friend had a bad experience last year with another artist we found through Google. This time we were doubly stressed and cautious in each conversation. But with Latika, we knew we found the right artist immediately. She was knowledgeable, courteous and absolutely forthcoming with her approach to the event. She went out of the way in selecting multiple looks and despite our high-maintainence nature, she never got flustered. The look which we settled with went very well with the attire and the theme.

Recommended for:

My friend had to undergo a very rushed marriage ritual because she and her fiancee had to leave urgently for USA. We tried reaching multiple makeup artists but nobody was willing to push themselves last minute. Only Latika and Mad Mascara were the ones who were willing to accommodate us and our finicky requests. We know we were quite a trouble but never once did Latika throw a fit, attitude or tantrums. She is by far the most professional makeup artist we have interacted with. Coming to the makeup - Latika is a whiz. She had a deep look at the dress, skin texture, tone and overall personality of the bride. Within 10 minutes, she knew what to do and the products that would go well. We were a little scared initially because we thought that 10 minutes just isnt enough but during the course of the makeup, we knew we had got a great bargain. Within 20 minutes of the foundation being applied along with the smoky eye, we knew our babe would shine through the night, and shine she did! I would never even look at anybody else now for my own makeup.

Recommended for:

A great experience with MadMascara. Friendly yet professional, Latika di is a wonderful makeup artist who can give anyone the look of their dreams. Highly recommended!

Recommended for:

I booked madmascara recently for my parent's anniversary and it did not disappoint me at all. Latika di took care of every single aspect, from deciding the makeup appropriate to executing it. I would definitely recommend her if you want a professional and extremely sophisticated artist.

Recommended for:

Mad Mascara was a delight to work with. For my bestie's wedding, we were apprehensive about the makeup artist because most of them go overboard but working with Latika and Mad Mascara felt like being around a friend. For somebody who knows her stuff really well, they had no air. They were very accomodating in the trial. Since I don't know shit about makeup etc. Latika went an extra mile teaching us finer concepts around texture, palettes and everything in between. From presenting us not one but many ideas to actual delivery on the D-Day, it was a very pleasant experience. I would recommend Mad Mascara without thinking twice.

Recommended for:

The choice of products was well conceived.mad mascara knows exactly what goes with a particular skin type.i recommend their services

Glad that I went with Mad Mascara. Latika from their team understands her clientele well. Their selection of products accentuated my makeup without appearing overtly glossy. Highly recommend them.

Latika is one of the best bridal makeup artists I've come across in a while. Not only does she have impeccable makeup skills, but the way she handles her clients is what enticed me the most. She is very professional in her work, knows exactly the kind of makeup that would best suit a person, and uses premium quality products only. Latika's work is super neat and flawless. I'm glad we got my sister's bridal make up done from her.

Recommended for:

I came across Latika's profile after a colleague recommended her name and work.. After meeting her, I instantly felt comfortable with the Madmascara team... Latika understood my concerns around Acne & understood the look I wanted for my brother's wedding. She discussed details around the products I used on my skin and made her recommendations as well. Keeping in mind my love for highlighters with a dewy look! I was extremely happy with my look and it complimented by lehnga and overall look so well! Thanks to Latika for the compliments received on the wedding day!! I highly recommend Latika for her professionalism, understanding on skin tones, over all theme & experience.

Recommended for:

After searching endlessly for the perfect bridal makeup artist for my sister's wedding, I chose Latika upon a friend's recommendation. And I couldn't be happier with my decision. Latika is an absolute professional who completely understood the brief from the get-go and also pleasantly surprised us with her expertise and creative suggestions that perfectly aligned with what my sister had in mind. She not only brought my sister's dream look to life, but also ensured that the makeup complemented my sister's skin tone, outfit, and the overall theme. I would totally recommend Latika if you're looking for a professional, experienced wedding makeup artist.

Recommended for:

So we were tasked with finding a bridal make-up artist for one of our closest friends, Sakshi, and decided to go with Latika as per a relative's recommendation. And boy, were we glad! Latika was bang-on with the brief we provided her, and didn't hesitate from sharing her own suggestions to make Sakshi look like the princess she should. I'd definitely recommend Latika for her services :)

Recommended for:

A wonderful time and experience with the Mad Mascara team! Ms. Latika is very friendly and the time you spend with her is always fun. The makeup was flawlessly beautiful and extremely satisfactory. Would definitely recommend her to my friends and family and would love to visit again.
