Dhanya Raghavan

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Dhanya. From the time I reached out to her for my trials, Dhanya was just a call away. I had just one look for my main day and I am super glad and happy that I chose Dhanya. She even gave me suggestions on the kind of jewellery rental, saree colors to pick. Best part - she was always open to hearing a feedback, which made it super easy to work with her. On the day of the wedding, she arrived on time and was done with make-up and hair on time which gave me enough time to get my portraits clicked! :D. I also loved the draping by her stylist Alisha. I would definitely recommend Dhanya if you want a natural finishing look for your big day! Thanks Dhanya :)

Dhanya is an amazing makeup artist and so so competent and prompt. She styled me for 3 events for my wedding and styled my husband for the reception as well! She made us both so comfortable and gave us exactly the look we were hoping for. Because of the pandemic we couldn’t do a trial, but we talked through what I was hoping for multiple times before the event and I was so happy with the end result. I always wanted to look like myself at the wedding - and Dhanya fully nailed it! She has a great team as well - she had brought an assistant to help with my mom’s makeup - and my mom loved her subtle final look! My 2 saris and lehenga were also draped beautifully by Alisha and they stayed in place all throughout the events despite having to move around a lot. I want to especially call out how prompt she is - and because of that I was fully relaxed and made it to all my events and photo sessions on time! I’ll definitely recommend Dhanya to all my friends getting married soon!!

I discovered Dhanya through her Insta page while I was researching on different makeup artists for my wedding. It was one of the best decisions that I made. She is a thorough professional in terms of punctuality, communication and her work. She understood and made suggestions on the different looks for the wedding and ensured that there was no last minute changes. The whole experience was pleasurable and zero fuss. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a bridal makeup artist !

She has a keen eye for detail and what I admire the most is that she is naturally instinctive, it's like she just knows exactly what color or shade will make your best feature pop. Her less-is-more attitude is what drives most of her make-up decisions and that I think is her primary and most plausible trait. She did an awesome job for my wife on our wedding day, who looked every inch the most beautiful bride on her D day. Thank you so much Dhanya for your time and your service.

Someone really close to me suggested Dhanya! And I am so glad she did. Dhanya is not only a wonderful makeup artist but also a beautiful human being! My wedding was supposed to happen in June 2020 but it got pushed to November 2020 cause of Covid-19. Unlike any other vendors, Dhanya made sure that she did not give my dates to anyone else as she had committed to me. I am the kind of a person who likes to look myself even after makeup. She made sure of that, and how beautifully. She did my makeup for sangeet and wedding and I was so so so satisfied with the makeup and just so stress-free. Not only was she quick, but so thorough. She was taking pictures to see how the makeup looked under light and on camera. While I was stressing about getting late, because of her the bride was ready and waiting for the groom. That's how efficient and amazing she is at her work. I hadn't slept in over 48 hours but she spoke to me, made sure I was calm, confident and beautiful for my special day! I would anyday prefer her over anyone else I know if I had to! And I would definitely recommend her to people I know for their special days. Dhanya, you were really great! Thank you so much!

Dhanya is a phenomenal makeup artist and I highly recommend her. She is extremely professional and makes you feel at ease. I did not do a trial with her as I trusted that should be able to execute what I had in mind and she most definitely did and more. She accentuated my features, made me look natural with a certain glow and was far from the 'heavy and cakey' makeup look. My makeup was absolutely flawless at the end of 12 hour long day including a long night of dancing and didn't feel the need for a touch up. I couldn't have been happier with my look!

I am so glad that I had Dhanya on our big day.” “Thank you so much for all your help, you are one seriously talented woman! My bridesmaids looked beautiful, I felt beautiful and not to mention my mum looked stunning. You made us all feel so comfortable, I couldn't have pick a better make up artist than you.

I have known Dhanya for a long time now and I have seen how she has grown with time and her work has come to gain a lot of recognition and admiration. I, personally, love her style. She has a keen eye for detail and what I admire the most is that she is naturally instinctive, it's like she just knows exactly what color or shade will make your best feature pop. Her less-is-more attitude is what drives most of her make-up decisions and that I think is her primary and most plausible trait. She did an awesome job on my cousin sister who looked every inch the most beautiful bride on her D-day. I am eagerly waiting to have Dhanya do my own makeup some day, I couldn't imagine having anybody else but her for my own special day! She is gifted and I wish her all the very best in all her future endeavours!

since im not from bangalore I was clueless with respect to bridal make-up artists & hairstylist in the city. I asked around, and a very senior make-up artist in Bangalore recommended Dhanya to me, I got in touch with her and we discussed a few looks over the phone, she shared some of her previous work with me and I loved all of it. From our very first conversation I felt super comfortable and confident having chosen her even without having done a trial. I flew to bangalore a few months later and did just one trial, the whole experience was so much fun, she made me feel at ease and understood exactly what I wanted. I was very nervous about wearing a lot of makeup, I disliked having foundation on my face, and wasn't used to having my entire face done professionally, but she stuck to the brief, and made sure I still looked like myself on my wedding day. Shes one of the easiest artists to work with, and if you allow her to take over without much interference, she'll do her best job!
