Makeovers By Miss Chuckle

I was on the lookout for make-up artists for quite some time for my engagement in September and the first person I had enquired was Nandini. I had made general queries on the same, with many other MUAs as well, since I was coordinating everything from outside of India. Nandini was, from the starting, someone easy to communicate to and was super friendly in our initial conversations itself, thus I decided to go ahead with her and got myself to Chennai probably 2 weeks before my engagement. I met up with her for a trial session with my sarees and from the smallest of things, as to where her studio was to the kind of shades that would look good for the eyes and the kind of skincare regime I had to follow up till the engagement and on a very specific checklist, she was absolutely helpful! I even got myself to go sit for a cupping session which Nandini had recommended and was super sweet to even call up the clinic and notify them. Nandini took in the sarees and ironed, pleated and folded way and I got them along with me on my travel day. Engagement day and she and her super lovely sister got themselves to the venue without any major hassle, got their rest and set out to work. I got myself late for my makeup, which I felt guilty for, knowing the kind of pressure they had to work under but I was amazed as to how calm Nandini worked under pressure, all the while holding conversations and getting everything done, one by one. She was swift, nimble and quick to think and I personally felt so, so comfortable working with her, every single minute. Her techniques are top class, she knows what she is doing and strives for perfection with whatever she does. She can work past all hurdles, keeps her cool and is highly motivated. The kind of drive she has for her work is unmatchable and I was amazed watching her work. I did not go in with any looks that I had wanted, I simply went with the flow since I really wanted to know her opinions and ideas on what would look good and I was completely happy with the outcome! The only thing which I had asked her for was a fishtail braid and she happily made that happen too, I was gushing over my hair for quite a few days. The crimping was not visible at all and I absolutely loved how it turned out in the pictures 🥰 Thanks Nandini for being a part of my big day. For someone as young and as spirited as her, she has miles to go and places to be. I might have met her as my make-up artist, but now I look to her as a friend of mine and someone who's going to make it big! Cannot wait to have you for my wedding as well ♥️

I booked Nandhini for my engagement event. One thing that you rarely find in many of the established makeup artist now a days is the personal touch and guidance into every step and detail (jewels, Parlour activity, skin care ,etc) of the whole process of looking good on the D' day. But she is all of it and even more. Adding to it she is reachable almost all the time and very responsive, which will definitely keep you at peace with respect to makeup. On the day of the event she did an amazing job even though the time was short. Also, the second saree change was quite fast and was even able to take pictures before being called. For the cost she charges and the quality of work, I personally feel she is best choice I made for my event. In short I would say she is a pro in what she does and you can blindly trust her for your event.

Thanks a ton for making me look gorgeous on one of my biggest day. My make up and saree draping was superb. I really loved your work and I'm still receiving compliments on how good I looked. Nandhini, was extremely professional and most importantly friendly. Her tips and recommendations helped me with the prep alot. I've tried other artists as well, but Nandhini listened to my expectations, ideas and made sure the final look was what I had imagined. I'm glad I chose her! Already talking her up to my friends :) Love, Swathi

The wedding was planned in March and it couldn't happen due to lockdown. I had called her earlier to convey the same.When I called her few days back to request for refund, the kind of mental trauma that I had to go through couldn't be explained in words.She considers it as a business only and had no empathy towards customers.I was appalled by the tone and the uncaring attitude she threw at me.After 45 min of embarrassment, she refunded 75% and held back the remaining 25% for no service that she provided , called it as blocking fees and mocked at me for requesting the refund.Money was definitely not a concern but her attitude is definitely a concern.We haven't met her and she hasn't connected with us more than twice and we haven't availed any service from her before the wedding. I am writing this as a word of caution to all who expect some ethics in service to stay away from such folks.

Nandini played a crucial role in the success of my wedding festivities. She basically made sure I looked great in every picture and credit goes to her immense makeup and hairstyling skill and dedication to her customers. I was super impressed with her from day 1 of working with her and have decided that she will be my go to make up artist for any future events or functions. She was extremely friendly and approachable but always maintained professionalism. What stood out most was that she took my opinion and expectations into consideration always but was also able to put forth her point of view on what would look good vs not on me. In short, she was AMAZING! In my brief interactions with her, I can vouch for the fact that she is super hard working and dedicated to the customer and she knows what she’s doing. This girls got some amazing skills! If your are not sure of who to pick as your make up and hair artist for your next event or celebration, look no further than Nandini! She is excellent and I would recommend her to everyone looking for this service. Another thing that stands out about Nandini is that she was super organized which made it so much easier and less stressful for me as the bride. After my meetings with her, she would summarize our discussions and send over key reminders on what we finalized as hair do for each event and also a summary of what accessories or flowers to buy. Another thing to note is that the saree draping was also very good which made a big difference in the photos. I’m so grateful to have worked with Nandini for my big day and I think you should pick her too! Thank you Nandini - you were super super amazing. ❤️

I booked Nandhini for my wedding in Chennai in December. Prior to booking, we had a trial session, where she provided a lot of helpful tips on skincare, where to rent jewellery, etc. She was very helpful throughout the months before the wedding, and even had a call with me (I was based in the US) a few weeks before the wedding to confirm the final makeup and hairstyle looks and mapped out a thorough schedule. On the day of the functions, Nandhini and her friend arrived on time, completely prepared with all their equipment. Throughout all the events, she was extremely friendly and patient (even with my mom who barely gave her any time to do her makeup!), and created looks that were exactly what I was looking for. I got a lot of compliments on the natural yet enhanced looks from many of the guests. Moreover, Nandhini and Roopa did an amazing job pleating not only my sarees, but the sarees for about 12 of my guests, many of whom were wearing sarees for the first time. They all looked great and were raving about how comfortable they were the whole day. Huge thanks to Nandhini and her team for making sure everything ran so smoothly - highly recommend!

I was looking for Make-up artist recommendations on Instagram and remember a couple of my friends recommending Nandini. She was recommended as someone who was budget-friendly (in a market where make-up artists charge crazy amounts without being transparent about the 'why') but also easy to work with. That is exactly who I needed for my minimalist intimate wedding. Nandini was on top of things from the word go, very enthusiastic about the look she could create with the brief I had given her. She remained organized throughout the whole process and was proactive, taking away a lot of stress from my plate. What I really appreciated about Nandini too, was that she was very flexible with any changes I made to the schedule or looks and put me at ease. While working on the make-up during the wedding, she was really calm and ended up creating the looks I wanted perfectly (vouched for by the number of compliments I received that day). Nandini is a perfectionist and I could tell she did not want to settle even for the smallest glitches (even when I didn't mind). I also liked getting to know her as a professional and as a person during the whole process. I'm so glad to have worked with her for my wedding and I am pretty sure that she is going to achieve significant heights as a young hard-working makeup artist with impeccable ethics. Lots of love and luck to Nandini in 2020, Sruthi
