Simran splits her time between Bangkok and Delhi, which already tells you she's used to brides who want something a little more international in feel.
Her signature is soft glam, the kind with dewy skin that catches light beautifully in photos. She's become something of a go-to for destination weddings, and honestly, it makes sense. She's built her whole career around brides who are getting married far from home and need someone who can travel and adapt without missing a beat.

If you've spent any time in North Indian bridal beauty circles, you already know the name Parul Garg. She runs studios in both Delhi and Gurgaon, and over the years she's built one of the more recognisable personal brands in this space.
What sets her apart isn't drama, it's restraint. Her whole approach leans natural and skin-first, so brides end up looking like themselves on a really, really good day rather than someone else entirely. She's also worked with names from TV and film, though she doesn't lead with that when you look at her page.

Leena's been doing this since 2013, and if there's one thing that comes up again and again in reviews, it's how much thought she puts into the prep work. Before your actual makeup day, she studies your outfit so the whole look, hair, makeup, everything, comes together as one picture instead of separate pieces.
Based out of Delhi NCR, she's built a loyal client base largely through referrals, which says a lot on its own.

Guneet trained at the London College of Makeup, and it shows in how structured and precise her work is. She's been in the bridal space since 2014, based in Delhi, and her style leans more editorial than most.
What stands out in her reviews is consistency. Brides mention how flawless her work stays through long, multi-day wedding functions, which, if you've ever sweated through a summer haldi, you know is not a small thing
