About

The artist behind the look

For over 15 years, Sonali Sarode has been the calm in the chaos of Indian wedding mornings, painting brides across Nashik, Pune and Mumbai in looks that feel like skin, never a mask.

Her rule is simple: skin first, always. No pancake layers, no stranger in the mirror. Just your face, luminous and breathing, on the day a hundred cameras find you.

From trial to touch-up, every look is built for the long day: tears at the vidaai, hugs from fifty aunties, dancing till the lights come on, and still flawless in every photograph.

Services

Everything your celebration needs

Bridal makeup, engagement looks, party glam, sider makeup, hairstyling and saree draping, by a trusted makeup artist in Nashik with 15+ years of experience. Every service ends with a personal quote on WhatsApp.

Bridal Makeup

The full bridal ritual: HD makeup, hair and draping, paced so your morning feels like a slow exhale, not a race. Bridal jewellery on rent. Ask when you enquire.

Engagement / Pre-wedding

Ring-ceremony radiance and pre-wedding glow, made for close-ups, golden hour, and the hundred photos your cousins will take.

Party & Occasion

Sangeet to reception: polished, sweat-proof glam that survives the dance floor and still looks fresh at midnight.

Hairstyling

Regal buns to undone waves: pin-perfect styles that survive the pheras, the hugs and the last dance.

Saree Draping

Nauvari to contemporary: crisp pleats, secure pallus, zero mid-function wardrobe anxiety.

Sider Makeup

For the bridesmaids, sisters and mothers: polished, photo-ready looks for the whole wedding party, so everyone glows beside the bride.

The work, alive.

Still photos flatter a little. Makeup shouldn't. Here is how the looks move, catch light, and hold through real celebration.

Process

The bridal journey

Four unhurried steps, from the first hello to the final touch-up.

  1. 01

    Enquire

    Tell her your date on WhatsApp. She confirms availability the same day, and you start dreaming up the look together.

  2. 02

    Trial & consultation

    A relaxed, no-rush session: wear the look, test it in daylight, refine every detail, so the wedding morning holds no surprises.

  3. 03

    The wedding day

    Wedding-morning calm: hair, makeup and draping finished with time to spare. You, sipping chai, watching the baraat arrive.

  4. 04

    Touch-up guidance

    A tiny touch-up kit and pro tricks, so you're glowing at the vidaai exactly the way you were at the pheras.

FAQ

Everything brides ask us

Yes, Nashik is home base, and she regularly travels to Pune, Mumbai and destination weddings. Travel and stay are simply folded into your quote when she confirms the date.

Message her on WhatsApp with your date, venue and service. She replies the same day, and your date is locked the moment the booking advance lands.

Yes, and she'd insist on it. A trial in Nashik lets you wear the look, live in it for a day, and change anything you like. No bride should meet her wedding look for the first time on the wedding morning.

Only professional, skin-safe lines suited to Indian skin tones and marathon wear, and nothing touches your face until she's understood your skin at the trial.

Wedding-season weekends (Nov–Feb) are usually gone 2–3 months out, so the earlier you write, the better your pick of dates. That said, always ask; cancellations happen.

Yes, a small advance locks your date, with the balance due on or before the event day.

15+ years of bridal experience, a 10.9K-strong Instagram community, real client reviews, and trials before you commit, brides across Nashik, Pune and Mumbai trust Sonali for HD, skin-first looks that last the whole celebration.
