Vandana Piwhal Makeovers

'HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER WITH ALL HEART' I am based out of USA and was getting married at a resort in Jim Corbett. Finding a mua in Jim Corbett in India while sitting in US was freaking me out. I spoke to at least 10 people that I shortlisted from wedmegood and Vandana was the 11th. From the first time I spoke to her it clicked really well. Bride's taste, her preference and her comfort is on top of her list. I discussed everything from my jewelry to my attires for all the functions with her from US and she provided me help by providing designers numbers and profile and helped me zero down a particular look for each function. I am a north Indian getting married to a Maharashtrian and the looks were created keeping both cultures in mind. She was always there to help and communicate which took all the pressure off my shoulders. I could never imagine that me and my family will be so well looked after by her and her entire team during getting ready on all functions. They used to miss their lunch to get us ready on time and one of her assistant would feed me and my mother while getting ready. She is a fabulous artist who creates magic and an extremely humble and caring person. Every time my mom looks at the pictures of my wedding, she can't stop gushing over how pretty and natural we all looked and remembers Vandana extremely affectionately. She has become like another daughter to my mother who keeps calling her now and then. If your looking for an awesomely professional and talented artist she is the one to go for who will never let you step out of the makeup room till your perfectly happy with how you look. Thank Vandana to you and your amazing team for making it so memorable for my family.

I had a disastrous makeup by a different artist I found on urbanclap on my engagement where I ended up looking like a overly painted white clown. I was really upset and didn't even feel like looking at my engagement pics. The worst part was that when I took a trial from that other artist she managed to convince me that the lighter foundation would eventually blend down to my own skin colour and coming from Nagpur to get married in Delhi, I was so short of time that I booked that other artist for both engagement and wedding. Seeing me so upset on of my husband's cousin gave me Vandana's number just a day before my wedding and showed me her wedding pictures which looked wonderful. I called Vandana at 9 in the night and requested for a slot next day for my wedding. First she told me that she already had other brides at her studio which was in Gurgaon so she will not be able to do it. But after the disaster I requested her to give me any slot available for next day at her studio. Finally she gave me a slot at 2pm in the noon. I travelled 35km from Delhi but it all turned out totally worth it. The makeup was done quickly not disturbing other's time slot in mind. But for that 1 and half hour I was given undivided attention not just by her but her entire team of 7 people. I was super super happy with how I looked on my wedding but feared if the makeup would last till vidaai next morning. To my ultimate surprise nothing moved one bit even after all the crying on my Vidaai. Everyone said I looked fresh enough to attend another function even after 15 hours of wearing. No words are enough to explain her passion for quality work and how beautiful she can make you look. I didn't need to ask for a single change in anything about the complete look. Thank you Vandana and her entire team for turning be into the most beautiful bride in a desperate and urgent situation and accepting my request even when you guys were packed.

I found Vandana through the photographer we were booking for the wedding. He kept praising Vandana's work and fortunately every word turned out to be true. She has an eye for detailing. The products she uses are the most renowned international brands. What made me most comfortable was that rather than doing my makeup just her way she took out time to meet me just 20 days before the wedding to understand my likes and dislikes. The hairstyles were recreated exactly the way I wanted but the makeup exceeded all my expectations. She will not settle for anything less then perfection. Even the last minute touchups showed how passionate she is about her work.

Her work is pure magic. Though I was transformed into a beautiful bride, yet it all looked natural and I looked like a more beautiful version of myself. My looks on all functions were so different from each other and hairstyles by Vipin bhaiya and Vani were just perfect. Want to Thank her entire team for understanding my nervousness and dealing me with so much patience. Thank you Vandana and team for turning me so beautiful on every function.

I am very satisfied with their work. The whole look came out really amazing. Vandana was recommended to me by a family friend and I felt so comfortable only after the first call to her. I am glad I didn't waste time taking trials. Her voice was so reassuring from the beginning and it was the best decision to hire her. I got married in February 2020 and people still can't stop raving about how gorgeous I looked on every day and the hairstyling team she has is equally superb, specially Vipin was outstanding.

I felt extremely confident while walking towards the stage as I knew I was looking amazing, the best I could possibly look as a bride. Every girl dreams to look her best on the wedding day and mine was turned to a reality by Vandana. I was treated and pampered like a princess. I just showed her some sample pictures of how I wanted my wedding makeup and she created exactly what I had in my mind. Couldn't have asked for more. Thank you Vandana for understanding my expectations and making me look my best and just the way I wanted.

Her makeup, the products she used and professionalism was outstanding. She reached sharp on time on both days. The entire team was very efficient and polite, just like her. I looked flawless, natural and beautiful on both functions. My skin had sever acne marks and her suggestion of going for airbrush worked like magic. Not to forget the saree draping for my mom and sister were superb and the pleats didn't move one bit even after dancing and running around.

Thank you Vandana for making it so pleasant, hassle free and memorable. I know I was the most talkative bride and made it really difficult for you to work but the fun moments shared with you and Anju will stay in my heart for a lifetime. You guided me about everything like what colours to pick and what type of jewelry will suit me best and all your inputs took my wedding look to a much higher level than what I could have done alone. I got so many compliments for my wedding look that everyone was asking for your number. Thank you once again for being so helpful, kind, fun to work with and making me look like a dream bride.

Due to different ceremonies and relatives I reached one hour late then the time fixed. I had my engagement in morning and wedding function in evening. So being late for engagement would have meant that the wedding would also get delayed. The best thing about Vandana was that she never panicked or got angry at me for being late, rather she was extremely patient and assured me that me and my sister both would be ready on time. To my shear surprise she and her team not only finished our makeup, hair and draping in an hour but we also had some time to click a few pictures. It seemed like she transformed into a princess in no time with her expertise and speed. The makeup was flawless and suitable for a day function. For the wedding we were again running behind schedule but the patience, speed, coordination and perfection of her team was amazing. I looked pretty beyond my imagination. Her sweetness and calmness was much needed in those super hectic hours. I will recommend her to every bride.

I am really late in posting this review but I wanted to write it with all my heart peacefully. Vandana is a hard core perfectionist, extremely creative and truly professional. She takes all the inputs from the bride to decide the final look. I looked just the way I imagined on every function of mine. Being a no makeup person I was extra nervous about my makeup. But she listened to all my demands, gave her suggestions and worked out a totally customized look for me and since I was showered with compliments on my Roka ceremony, the next functions I left completely on her. I trusted her for understanding my choice and didn't look into the mirror even once and it paid off so well. I feel lucky to have found her for my wedding makeup which was beyond perfect. Thank you Vandana, Vaani and Chavi for being extremely helpful and patient with me. It was a complete pleasure to be dolled up by you girls. Lots of luck to all of you for your future projects.
