Artistry by Van Kris

We all brides can be most apprehensive about our hair and make up on our big day as we would like to look the best on our most important day and so was I. Especially being in London and brought up in Mumbai and getting married in a new place like Kovalam though I am from Kerala I had no clue of where abouts of Trivandrum. Chose Kovalam as we wanted a beach wedding reception but rooting back to where we belong: Kerala :) I was a hands on bride and like anyone else among other lists of jobs to be sorted,I had made a list for MUAHs as well. I can never thank my best friend and matron of honour Shalaka enough for introducing me to this angel Vandana! Guys, the pictures on Facebook or Instagram do not do full justice to the perfection, dedication and quality service Vandana provides. Trust me being an international customer, I can easily spot excellent customer services which was the case. Very organised since day one of contacting her, extremely flexible with superb communication, arrival before time so that bride doesn't panick and so quick in her work which reflects her experience, perfection in her work,passion for her work and above all to this day what I love is the genuine conversations we had that day. I felt like I was talking to a long lost friend and we were having fun while getting some job done and tadaa: She got me ready as a beautiful bride! Mind you my schedules were jam packed and had no window for make up trial. It was all on wedding day, for me it was like entrusting everything in her hands and Vandana's work has been fantabulous and beyond exceptional. Very natural look, no putti adikkyal(read in malayalam), her eye make up is to die for! To this day, I get compliments for my wedding look. Above all compliments what mattered to me was my personal satisfaction which was 200% without a doubt. The hair accessories, the curly hair extensions she recommended everything is sustainable and reusable which I still use for events(pre covid I mean). So if you want a hassle free, sincere,passionate,genuine, flexible yet experienced and fab at her work person to be ur MUAH: all you brides Vandana is ur go to person. Not recommending her just because she was my MUAH and I was satisfied but I have seen works done on my friends who got married offlate, to say the least I looked like myself on my wedding day. Thanks a million Vandana 🤗 Love Steffi❤

I had contacted Vandana via WedMeGood after I loved her work for a bride who also had her wedding in Trivandrum. As I was based out of Chennai and coordinating a Trivandrum reception i found Vandana to be extremely prompt , very easy to communicate with and ever willing and open to discussions. Very organised and extremely punctual as well, I think she did an absolutely brilliant job for my reception. A lovely artist who makes you feel completely at ease from the first meeting I would definitely recommend Vandana.

I booked Van Kris online and didn't even get a chance for trial due to logistics. Van was a true professional! We reviewed all of our looks in advance and had detailed noted to refer to through the weekend. I entrusted her and let her create magic. I like her subtle, minimal makeup style. I never wanted to be a "cakey" bride & Van helped me achieve glam looks all weekend long. Source
