The bridal makeup, hair and saree draping was so incredibly beautiful — not cakey, very glowy and natural glam. I am still getting compliments for it. Guests from London and the US have asked for MJ's contact for their future events.

Shivani

Bridal Makeup — Bangalore

You were really very supportive throughout my journey — from choosing you, to multiple discussions on skin prep and self-care, right till my makeup on sangeet night and wedding day. Damn skilled, very professional, and a complete sweetheart. The best MUA in Bangalore without an iota of doubt.

Ritu

Sangeet & Bridal Makeup — Bangalore

It was an absolute delight. Someone who doesn't believe in layering too many products. The products were all absolutely class and did not cause even a single pimple after removal. Super thankful to her for making our wedding an absolutely gorgeous one.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I joined this class with absolutely no knowledge of makeup, and everything was taught from scratch. She’s incredibly skilled and explained every tip and technique so well. In just two days, I learned so much and gained the confidence to do my own makeup!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I Did a self makeup course with MJ Sekhar and honestly, I really enjoyed it. I actually understood its application, and now I feel much more confident stepping out with makeup on. She also helped me with a simple skincare routine and monthly care based on my skin, which I really needed because of my travel and work. Had a lot of questions and got all my answers. Thank you MJ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I first got to know MJ during my sister's wedding, and I truly admired her work from then. What stayed with me the most was how she took the time to understand the kind of makeup I was comfortable with. I truly appreciated that she respected my preferences, and that thoughtfulness has stayed with me ever since. So, when I got the opportunity to attend her Personal Grooming Workshop, I was really excited, and it turned out to be such a wonderful learning experience. As someone who had almost no knowledge of makeup, I learned so much over these two days. From understanding skincare and choosing the right products for different skin types to creating both a natural everyday look and a glam look, everything was explained so patiently and in a way that was easy to understand, even for a complete beginner. What I appreciated the most was how warm, interactive, and encouraging the entire workshop was. She doesn't just teach - she makes sure everyone understands everything before moving on. Every question was welcomed, every doubt was answered, and she created such a comfortable environment that learning never felt intimidating. I walked away not only with new knowledge but also with the confidence to practice on my own, and for me, that's the biggest takeaway from this workshop. Thank you, MJ, for such a wonderful learning experience and for making learning makeup feel so comfortable and enjoyable. I'm already looking forward to attending more workshops with you in the future. ❤️

I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist for my wedding! ❤️ A huge thank you to MJ and her amazing team for making me feel so beautiful throughout all my wedding functions. From the very beginning, they were incredibly professional, patient, and so easy to work with. They truly understood the look I wanted and brought it to life perfectly every single time. Every makeup look was flawless, lasted throughout the events, and made me feel confident and comfortable. I received so many compliments, and I genuinely loved the outcome for each function. If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is talented, reliable, and an absolute pleasure to work with, I wholeheartedly recommend MJ and her team. Thank you for making my wedding memories even more special ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked MJ and her team (Akash as assistant and Ramya Achar on hair and saree draping) for my wedding in Bangalore last month and had the best experience. From the trial through all the functions, MJ and team conducted in strong professionalism, and her passion and confidence for makeup and styling was clear. I was looking for a makeup artist who could execute on some pretty particular and widely differentiated styling looks between my different functions, and the team delivered fully and beautifully. MJ has a confident calm in the way she speaks and operates, and I think it helped me stay balanced and calm between the 3:15 mornings and hecticness that comes with being a bride at an Indian wedding. I did a mix of HD and airbrush makeup based upon the needs of the function, and the makeup was all designer quality (very important for me since my daily use products are mostly designer) and mixed to match my skin tones accordantly - with adjustments to color for lip, eye, and blush as requested. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the makeup was - and it LASTED though the function, excited sweaty dancing at the sangeet, and happy tears. The groom’s makeup was also executed simple to his preference but beautifully glowy (he’s now asked me to somehow do his makeup like this for every event we go to) - and MJ pulled off a beautiful Odiya style forehead makeup for the wedding morning that matched what his father had done in the 90s with crisp design. Overall, I’m very happy that I chose to work with MJ for my wedding. She’s a clearly talented makeup artist and business woman with a passion for makeup, styling, and knowledge of different Indian and Western hair and makeup. Ramya Achar also did an amazing job with my many different hairstyles, and brought so much volume to my thin hair with secure and neat hairstyles. The saree draping was so crisp as well, I’ll be practicing myself to hopefully replicate it one day. All in all, 5/5 experience and I look back on the photos and videos from my wedding thinking wow I look like a princess in Vogue.

MJ Gorgeous specialises in South Indian bridal makeup in Bangalore, with deep expertise in muhurtham looks, temple jewellery coordination, and the specific lighting conditions of South Indian wedding venues.

Yes. MJ Gorgeous regularly travels PAN India for destination weddings including Goa, Udaipur, Jaipur, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kochi, and Pune.
