Occasion makeup
Fresh, luminous base with polished eye definition — lifted for evening light.
Softer than bridal, still unmistakably you
Engagement & Reception
Engagement and reception makeup in Bangalore by KB Anitha is a single-function styling service where one artist designs your makeup, hair-do and drape for evening light — modern and radiant without competing with your wedding-day self, tuned to the mood of the sangeet, mehendi or reception.

Questions
Engagement & reception — good to know
- How much does an engagement or reception look cost?
- Pricing depends on the function, location and add-ons — request a quote through the enquiry form and Anitha will reply personally within a working day.
- How long does an engagement or reception look take?
- Plan for around 90 minutes for a single-function look; add 30–45 minutes if a saree drape and elaborate hair-do are included.
- Can you style my whole family?
- Yes — we bring an assistant for family styling on request, and coordinate mother, sister and bridesmaids with your evening palette.
- Do you offer on-location service?
- Absolutely — within Bangalore we travel to the venue or your home; outside Bangalore we plan travel and stay separately.
- Is a trial available for an engagement look?
- A trial isn't included as standard, but you can book a paid look-design session if you want to lock in the finish before the day.
- Can I book engagement and reception as one package?
- Yes — a two-function combo gets a package rate and we design both looks together so the styling reads as one story.
