CONGRATULATIONS,

you’re engaged!

Find out if the MakeupGuru is the right beauty specialist for you.

You’re engaged! You’ve said yes to the partner of your dreams, and can’t believe it’s all really happening. Feels like you’ve been waiting a lifetime for this moment.

YOUR wedding!

How do you envision your BIG DAY?

Let’s be honest, there’s nothing more important than how you LOOK during your wedding.

Well, no wait that’s not true, actually there is - it’s all about how you FEEL.

You want to be confident and comfortable in your look, feel like yourself but a glammed up version.

How can you feel like yourself on your wedding day without any worry of how you are carrying your look?

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • You’re unsure of which artist is someone you can trust to bring your dreams to life. Who’s down to earth and approachable?

  • You question their experience, and if they will know what you need on your big day.

  • Will they give you the time you need on your wedding day without overbooking?

  • You receive referrals from friends and loved ones on who to use, but seeing their portfolio - but you don’t see yourself represented.

  • You ask for questions around cultural expertise, and find out they have no understanding of your wedding rituals or traditions.

  • You want your hubby-to-be to recognize you, and see your own personal style come out through your events. You want to look like YOU on your wedding day. Just a more confident, yet natural glowed-up version.

◆ You love to see inspiration and feel confident in knowing that your artist can bring your vision to life.

◆ You don’t want to have 3 people at once getting you ready on your big day. You need someone that can look after every aspect of your beauty needs for all the wedding events, as well as understand the culture and rituals behind it. You want someone with experience and give you peace of mind when you need it.

◆ You want calm and collective advice from some you can trust, that you’ve built a relationship with over time before your wedding.

Someone who can add valuable expertise to your personal experience, and you can trust to understand your culture, traditions and rituals.

HERE’S THE REASON YOU ARE STILL LOOKING

You want to have the ability to go to one expert for all things bridal artistry when it comes to skin prep, makeup, hair, styling, as well as even henna and custom facials?

How amazing would it be to have all your beauty needs covered in one go?

GOOD NEWS
SHE DOES EXIST.

That bridal beauty specialist you’ve been looking for. Someone with almost 20 years experience working with brides and clients internationally and here at home. She’s an artist with a multitude of training certificates tucked away, as education is very important to her. She’s passionate about all aspects of beauty artistry for the bride - including knowledge of different South Asian communities, cultures, and traditions - because we know they are an important part of the bridal process.

And because she comes from a place of service, customer experience is everything.

Her brides commend her on passion for the job, how much she values her responsibilities on the big day and the techniques in her craft.

If you’re still with me - then I can confidently say you’ve found who you’re looking for!

is the beauty confidant you thought you never needed to have.

I’ve spent the last 20 years with brides just like you.

Meeting for consults and hearing about your engagement, how you both met and your unique love story. I get to hear about how important family is to you. I see the photos you share, the meticulous planning you do for every detail of the wedding - to personalize your family cultural traditions, but also to ensure your guests and family have a great time. I see how important your loved ones are during the entire process, who is close to you, and who is rooting from afar for your happiness.

Yes I’m there to do my job and get you ready from head to toe as a bride, beautify you to be the most confident version of yourself on your big day - but I’m also there for the moments of nervous energy, when you get emotional thinking about moving away from home, or when you’re hearing about last minute changes on the day, or even how to approach different introductions and new relationships forming real time while being a bride. When your family has left the room to tend to the hustle, and you’re left with your thoughts about the moments ahead. Even if you don’t want to talk, you just want someone to hand you a box of tissues and let you be - to have your moment.

- I’m there for you. That’s the type of stylist I am, because I know what it’s like to be there in those lost emotional moments before the new chapter of your life begins.

As Seen In...

Here’s how it all works with the MAKEUPGURU

First we sit down for a scheduled consultation, via a zoom call. I hear your needs, concerns, and we go through your schedule for the events. We talk over possible ideas and suggestions for your looks and what you ideally want. I find out what inspires you, and your style as well as what’s important to you when it comes to your events. Based on our discussion, we run through a quote and I email it to you within 24hours of our zoom consultation.

Once you decide to book, you’re sent an invoice and contract to review and deposit towards within 48hours.

Once your deposit is received, you are fully booked for your event(s) and will receive instructions for next steps as well as skin and hair prep details to get started on.

  • You did an absolutely great job on my hair and make up for the wedding day, I was so happy with the colours you chose for my makeup (foundation, eye shadow, lipstick etc.) and how well they complimented my skin colour, how my hair was done exactly as I wished and also a great job on putting my incredibly heavy veil on.

    Thank you very much for all your services, help and support provided for my Henna and Wedding events. Your work during the wedding was amazing and my family and I were very pleased with how great everyone looked.

  • Shakereen exudes a warmth and passion for her profession and it shows in her work and her advice. I was extremely fortunate that Shakereen was a part of my big day and if you're reading this review I would encourage you to contact her as well, you won't be disappointed!

    — DIANE S.

  • I was so grateful to find an artist like Shakereen!
    She helped me first with my skin and hair so I could get the best glow for my bridal look. She understood our Punjabi customs.
    I had the best wedding day with my whole look, and it started with Shakereen.

    — DAVINDER B.

  • I would highly recommend her as a Bridal Stylist due to her years of experience, professional attitude and the high quality of service she provides to her clients.

    Thanks once again Shakereen for your patience and help during one of the most significant events in my life :)

    — PRIYANKA P.

  • Thank you so much Shakereen! If I have a special event, I now know who and where to go for my hair and makeup.
    You were friendly, warm, and listened to what my vision was for my hair and makeup for that event.

    I would definitely recommend your services. You executed my hair and event at both events and was very happy with the results.

    — NIOKA M.

  • You were patient and comfortable to work with. You were great with my mom as well who gets anxious about things all the time!
    I would definitely recommend your services because I had a great experience working with you. Thanks for everything! My hairdo and makeup lasted for both events!

    — GAURI P.

  • What an incredible, understanding, punctual, flexible, super talented Shakereen's services were, I loved the consultation and trials which helped me get an idea of how I wanted my look to be. I was extremely nervous about my Lehenga look but honestly, Shakereen saved it with the saree belt and dupatta draping.

    Having an artist like Shakereen as an expert stylist is one of the biggest benefits. Because there are not many artists that offer makeup, hair, hijab styling, saree styling and all.

    — FARHIN S.

  • I just wanted to say thank you for all your help and effort with my wedding. You were such a great makeup artist to work with.

    I have no hesitation in recommending you to others and have already had a few people from my wedding ask for you after seeing my makeup on the day.

    Thank you so much again! Keep up the great work! We need more of you out there!!

    — THARANI C.

  • Shakereen did such a phenomenal job with my Nikkah Ceremony makeup in 2017, that I also asked her to do my Wedding Reception in 2018. I love her work so much, she's actually in my Google profile picture. She is so professional and she's comfortable to be with on a busy and most important day. Love her!

    — REANNA T.

  • Shakereen did my henna and hair/makeup for my wedding events. She was so patient, down to earth and flexible. On the henna night my family were in awe of her skills and kindness, she worked tirelessly and quickly while making everyone feel special. I was hesitant about “over the top” looks for my wedding and Shakereen was able to guide me to find the perfect balance of glam and normal. She was patient and flexible which was so important at what can otherwise be a stressful time.

    — ANISHA K.

  • Shakereen was the most helpful artist! I had 3 events planned over 24 hours: my Sangeet, Wedding and reception. Shakereen did a wonderful job considering I had little to no sleep. I loved everything about my makeup and hair.

    I couldn’t imagine my wedding events going off without Shakereen. If you are reading this - go book Shakereen right now, she will go above and beyond your expectations!

    — SAVITHA S.

  • She did a makeup trial for my bridal shower and helped me realize my vision for the actual wedding. As someone who rarely wears makeup I was nervous and apprehensive about how different makeup might make me look but Shakereen quickly made those fears disappear. I still looked like myself and felt like a beautiful glowing princess. She was amazing at listening to what I wanted while also gently encouraging me to try new things outside of my comfort zone. She was very easy to talk to and worked with my feedback really well.
    I would highly recommend her as your makeup artist for any occasion.
