Raman is amazing! She did a splendid job with my wedding makeup!
She took time to understand my needs, the look I want, how my skin is and gave me 2 different styles and looks for 2 of my wedding events. I felt great in those looks.
Got a lot of compliments too. So highly recommend her for any event or wedding looks.

Raman was amazing as our makeup artist for my wedding! She did beautiful, natural looks for both me and my mom, exactly what we were hoping for. Raman was also so calm and kind, bringing a relaxed energy to the start of our day (even at 4AM :)) I highly recommend her for anyone looking for stunning, natural makeup!

Where do I even start - Raman was the best HMUA a bride could ask for. From our first phone call to the trial session to the big day, Raman worked closely with me to find the right look for my skin’s needs. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable in her field,she is also lovely to be around. I felt comfortable requesting subtle tweaks when needed, and I sincerely felt that my moments getting my makeup done by Raman were some of the most zen moments of the day.

Raman also works with a team of talented artists who traveled onsite to do hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and both moms. My mom in particular has never gotten her hair or makeup done and loved her artist Jessie.

In short Raman is both professional and an absolute pleasure. I looked and felt better than I could have imagined on the big day. If you have a big event and are looking for a HMUA, don’t hesitate and lock Raman down before it’s too late!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Raman curate all of my bridal looks for my wedding, including my Engagement, Nikkah, Mehendi, and Reception. Raman and I go way back—she curated my sister’s stunning Nikkah look three years ago. At the time, I got party makeup done by her for my sister's events and vowed that, when my own time came, Raman would be the one to create my bridal looks. Fast forward to today, and I am so glad I kept that promise. I entrusted Raman to craft a beautiful storyline for my events through my looks, and she exceeded all my expectations.

Nikkah Look
Initially, I wasn’t planning on getting my makeup and hair done for my Nikkah. However, just days before the event, I reached out to Raman in a panic. Without hesitation, she stepped in and curated the perfect look. From the moment I sat in her chair, Raman worked her magic—not only with her artistry but also by keeping me calm and collected throughout the process. She truly listens to her clients, visualizes her craft, and stays authentic to her work. One thing I deeply admire about her is that she never retouches her photos, as she values authenticity above all.

Mehendi & Reception Looks
Raman continued to amaze me with my Mehendi and Reception looks, each one unique and grand in its own way. My goal was to embody a mix of tradition, royalty, and fun, which is no small task for three back-to-back events. Yet, Raman rose to the challenge with ease. She has an incredible ability to differentiate each look while maintaining a consistent level of elegance and authenticity. For my Mehendi, she brought vibrant, playful energy to the look, while my Reception was the epitome of regal sophistication. I truly felt like a princess at every event.

Family Experience
It wasn’t just me who benefited from Raman’s talent—my sister and mother also got their makeup done by her for my wedding. My sister, having had a previous wonderful experience with Raman, was thrilled to return, and my mom couldn’t stop raving about how beautiful and confident she felt. As a family, we were honored to be in Raman’s chair and all felt like the best versions of ourselves.

Why Raman Stands Out
Raman’s passion, dedication, and authenticity set her apart in this industry. She is insanely hard-working, humble, and talented beyond words. Her ability to curate such distinct, yet cohesive looks for my events speaks volumes about her artistry and refusal to stay in her comfort zone. She takes the time to listen, understand, and bring her clients' visions to life with unmatched creativity.

I will forever be loyal to Raman—not just because of her exceptional work, but because she genuinely loves her craft and pours her heart into it. When the time comes, I will wholeheartedly recommend her to my daughters, nieces, and anyone else looking for an incredible hair and makeup artist for their special occasions.

Final Thoughts
Long story short: Trust Raman with your bridal looks. She will not only take care of you but make you feel like the most beautiful and confident version of yourself. Good people deserve good things, and Raman is the epitome of such. She’s a gem in this industry, and I know she will go far.

Raman did my make up for my brother’s reception and she did an absolutely fabulous job! I don’t wear make up so when I asked her to make me look like myself, she calmly reassured me. I got so many compliments on my make up and hair! I absolutely loved the look! Thank you again for everything!

I'm so glad I worked with Raman for my engagement looks! I went to her place to get my hair and makeup done for my proposal, and then my makeup for my engagement party. For both days, I needed the look to last 12+ hours and look good in photos/video, and she did a phenomenal job! Before both events, we both worked collaboratively to come up with a look that would suit me and the outfit I had planned through Google Forms, email, and phone. Raman is so flexible, patient, and skillful in her work, and the products she uses are top quality. It's so easy to get along with her, and throughout before mornings, we chatted as if we'd known each other forever! She is genuinely so passionate about her line of work, and even if she has back-to-back appointments, she makes sure to give you the time and attention needed to fully complete your look. I felt so confident and got so many compliments on my looks on both days! If you need someone to help with makeup or hair for any special occasion, I highly recommend Raman!

Raman did my bridal hair and makeup for my sangeet and wedding ceremony this past August. Both looks turned out wonderful and I received countless compliments! Raman is an amazing makeup artist and really knew how to select the right products for my skin and enhance my natural features. I would highly recommend her to any brides getting married in the Bay Area.
