Makeup Artist - Abhilasha Singh

nd also Henna artist for my South Indian wedding and Sangeet events. Her team was very accommodating with our last min requests too. Everyone loved my wedding makeup. My photos turned out amazing. Happy that I went ahead with Aby and Aby’s team. Thanks a lot. I would highly recommend her.

prepping up to the wedding day via WhatsApp. On the day of the event, Hema and Mariah arrived on time, patiently catered to all of my requests and small changes as we went through the preparation and I felt completely pampered and well taken care of. The outcome turned out to be excellent, just as I wanted. Needless to say, I received a lot of compliments on my wedding day look from friends and family who attended the wedding or got to see the photos. Overall, I would highly recommend Aby and her team for your special day!

Mariah. My MIL and I had chosen Aby for my Anand Karaj and Indian Reception looks. I'm Chinese, so initially, I was afraid my make up would be too heavy and dramatic. However, during our trial, Aby and Mariah worked with me to make sure I was completely satisfied with my makeup and hair. I ended up loving my looks even more on the actual events! I received so many compliments! Mariah also helped me pinned my dresses and dupatta. As we had to get ready so early, having to figure out how to pin everything myself would have been so stressful. Mariah was amazing and everything stayed where it should all day/night. Thanks Aby and team for making me look flawless.

ate but luckily she was available on my wedding day. Soon after, I had my makeup trial and we were able to connect right away. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made sure I was completely comfortable with all the make up looks. She envisions what looks good for the bride and creates that look while making sure the bride is comfortable with everything she is doing. I trusted her with everything, and I can say she never failed to deliver. Because I was a bit late, she gave me a regimen to follow right away to make my skin glow and I have to say, my skin was ABSOLUTELY glowing! She is so caring and lovely that working with her never failed to put a smile on my face. I was one of those brides who decided to do everything by myself and I have to say I was pretty stressed. No matter what was going on she made me feel relaxed and made sure I was taking a moment to enjoy being a bride. She followed up constantly to see if she could help me with anything. She was more of a friend than a vendor I was working with and I loved working with her. My sisters got their makeup done with her team while she was completely focused on me. Abhilasha and her team are extremely professional and always on time. Her team made sure that my sisters were completely comfortable with their looks and took extra time to make changes to the hair and makeup if they weren’t completely happy. All of us looked amazing and its all thanks to Abhilasha and her team! I would highly recommend her and her team to any future bride!!

een her work online and are in love with it already. You know you want to hire her, so why waste time by second guessing yourself? I got married in February of this year and Abhilasha did my hair and makeup. And can I just say, she did a phenomenal job. She worked with me from day 1 to perfectly curate the two looks for my ceremony and reception that we both felt comfortable with. For the morning ceremony, we went with a subtle look with glowy skin and simple bun for hair-do whereas for the evening reception, we still went with glowy skin BUT with grey smoky eyes and wavy hair. I loved both the looks! And the best part, I didn’t have to touch up my makeup at all, other than just blotting some oil from my face. And ladies, get this-she will work with you as early as 3 months prior to the occasion date to make sure your hair and skin is at its ultimate best on the day of. Based on the skin/hair type you have, she will recommend home remedies, diet changes and/or natural products to get to that beauty goal. She will ACTUALLY listen to what you have to say and bring your makeup/hair vision to life. She will take her time to make you look perfect for your big day/occasion. I personally believe that makeup is to accentuate features you already have. The purpose of makeup products was never meant to make you look like a completely different person. And Abhilasha believes in that!! She will do her magic on you, but YOU will still look like YOU. You will look glamorous after she is done, but you will still recognize yourself in the mirror, which for me was a big deal . I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and everyone who is seeking a makeup/hair artist. I am a happy customer, and will work with her every chance I get.

highly recommend her for hair and makeup for any occasion. Lalitha

was very very hesitant about getting my makeup done as I don't like to wear alot of makeup. Abhilasha had that covered- she was extremely receptive to what I felt comfortable wearing and did not push me in any direction. I loved the way my makeup looked on my wedding day and this is coming from someone who doesn't like to wear makeup. Because I trusted her I ended up wearing more than I ever have and it looked great! Mostly I felt completely like myself, which I felt she captured with an art. She did a great job with my hair as well. There is something about Abhilasha that is so easy going yet so caring. I felt throughout the process as if I had a family member in my corner. I only had to make the decision to work with her and she so kindly took care of the rest. Abhilasha is truly gifted at what she does and she can make however faint a vision you make have of yourself on your wedding day a reality because she has a unique eye for hair and makeup.

made me feel at ease and I really enjoyed talking with her. She was quick to respond and kind enough to accommodate a early morning appointment. Thank you so much Abhilasha!!

florist, decorations and everything in between picked out and finalized. Except, of course, the dreaded makeup artist and hair stylist. I consider myself to be fairly girly/feminine, but I do not like the way I look in heavy make-up... at all! I cried after having my make-up done for my engagement party because I did not feel the least bit pretty. And, coming from a fairly traditional Lebanese household, my mom and sister had high expectations that I wear about 10 lbs of makeup! Abhilasha returned my call and follow-up with me after I went missing for a good month (I had some health stuff to deal with). After she got back on my radar, I know I was pretty late in the game and needed to book someone fast. She was so kind on the phone and after briefly explaining my vision over the phone on my lunch break while traveling for work, she reiterated what I said and THEN SOME! A few months later, I went by her place for the trial. You know how every woman wants her "ah ha" moment when she tries on her wedding dress?!? Screw the wedding dress, Abhilasha made me feel like a bride in jeans and a white tank top! I mean, wow!!! She is so unbelievably skillful with foundation and skin. I've never seen anything like it. I felt like a celebrity with my hair and extensions, which came part of the package. Leading up to the first look and/or ceremony, you spend the most amount of time with your make-up artist and hair stylist and photographer. I loved being around Abhilasha so much I want to be friends! She is witty, professional, charming, and so freaking good at what she does. Wedding day was organized down to the last second. Mostly because of me, but also because she knew what needed to get done. She brought a few of her girls with her to do my bridesmaids hair and makeup and they did a great job. Everyone was in awe at my makeup and they could not get over how spectacular my hair looked. I had a grand wedding with a Lebanese zaffe entrance and needed my hair and makeup to stand out, but not over shadow the dress and venue. I felt like myself 100% and that was the most important thing to me. But, I felt the most beautiful I ever have in my life. Abhilasha was worth every cent and then some. She traveled from San Francisco to Monterey, CA and helped make my fairy tale wedding a dream come true. I recommend her over and over again.

re unprecedented. She transformed my hairstyle - flat hair colored highlights and cut to a fresh, up to date look. She also styled me for a special occasion by giving me a makeover with make up that was understated yet, emphasized my eyes and features and gave me that glam look that fit with my outfit and the occasion. She has selected for the makeup tones that looked natural yet gave me confidence and held through the day. Being a fair-skin and blond I always avoided a strong dark makeup but what Aby selected was simply perfect. We are really lucky to have Aby in San Francisco.

ut how beautiful I was. Definitely recommend!

ts for all my looks and the pictures came out to be great. All thanks to her! :) I'm so glad I chose Aby for my pre-wedding shoot, sangeet, wedding and reception. Totally recommend her, she's AMMMMMAZING!

t day we met for coffee until the day of the wedding (and even after!). She gave me a carefully crafted self-care program a few months before the wedding, so that I would look my best for the big day. Aby is also a fantastic hair guru and now, she is the only person I would trust to cut my hair! During the time leading up to the occasion, we would chat quite regularly and share notes about the look and style for each event - especially since Indian weddings have multiple events! Aby is truly gifted at creating unique and beautiful looks. She made me feel like a total princess! Aby also helped me find hair and makeup artists for the bridal and groom parties! She and her team were thoroughly professional with each service and we received so many compliments! If you are a bride looking for the BEST makeup and hair artist for your special day, look no further. Aby's services are incredible and unparalleled! I highly recommend you book her if she's available!

ask how everything was going, how I wanted to look, and shared all her ideas. I prefer to use cruelty free brands and Aby was happy to accommodate. She provided different tips to do before the wedding to help me look and feel my best. This included adding different juices to my routine which really made my skin glow. Aby is very knowledgeable and passionate. On the day of the wedding, Aby and her team were prompt, organized and made my morning incredibly easy and relaxed. Any issues were handled professionally and without hesitation. My wedding party looked fabulous! Aby went above and beyond what I imagined. She was great to be around and made me look and feel beautiful!

checked up on me and on how my skin was doing. She asked me what problems I was encountering with my hair and skin and provided helpful suggestions for how to help clear my skin and nourish my hair. For reference, I have dry, frizzy hair and my skin is dry and prone to acne and rosacea. I honestly thought I was hopeless until Aby gave me some home remedies and holistic information that has seriously helped clear my skin. Aby was very easy to work with. Not to mention she has a fun personality! I did a makeup trial to get an idea of what it was I wanted and how the look would go with my Indian outfit - completely worth it. She even toned it down for my date night that evening with my fiancé (now husband). The day before my wedding my sister wanted to get her hair done and Aby was very flexible in accommodating her request. She came early and still had enough time to do my hair and makeup and a touch up on my husband. Aby was prompt, friendly, and made sure I was happy with how everything looked on my wedding. I would recommend Aby to any bride!

oks were stunning and beyond what I could have imagined.The hair services were also impecable and such good quality. Aby made my entire bridal party look better than I could have ever imagined!

contact her. From the moment I talk to her about the wedding, I can’t describe how helpful she was... she sent me a whole list of the things I should do to make my skin soft and prettier ans she was for 4 months texting me and asking how was doing with the juice and facial and everything! When I finally met her for the big day, you can tell how she really loves what she does, it was such a GORGEOUS job! She turn me into a beautiful bride... Thank you so much Aby! She’s defenitely the BEST!

was worried about how the makeup would look on such dry skin but Aby gave me some tips on how to prep my skin over the few days leading up to the ceremony. The day of the wedding my skin was still dry and i was worried but Aby managed to make my skin look flawless. I was also worried about my hair. I don't have very much hair and what i do have is thin. I was worried we wouldn't be able to set my heavy daputta on my head. But again Aby was able to manage. By the end of the day i wanted the weight of the daputta off my head but was worried about how my hair would look. I took the risk and removed the pins from the daputta and found my hair still looks fabulous!! I was completely shocked. On top of my dry skin and thin hair i had another impossible task for Aby....... i had a velvet shawl that i wanted to wear. I was unsure if I'd be able to wear both the shawl and daputta but the shawl was gifted to me by my sister-in-law so i wanted to wear it. Again Aby came up with a way to make it happen. The draping looked beautiful!!!! Aby was super sweet. She was punctual and got right to business when she arrived which put me at ease. Thank you Aby for making my wedding day happen!

ncluded the shoot time as well. Her attention to detail and speed of work is commendable. The most unique thing about her makeup skills is, you never can feel weighed down with layers and layers of makeup. She makes sure to keep the makeup as natural as possible

ening one to live up for a great one & to the occasion. ;I*'.. for sure will recco & look forward to meeting with this make up artist again. Warm Regards, From: Rashmi Siravara's 12.25.2017.
