MEET THE FOUNDERS

MJ Shekhar – Where it all began

MJ’s interest in makeup began early, watching her mother get ready and noticing how confidence changes when you feel put together. Even in school, she was the friend people relied on for makeup for relatives and small functions. Coming from an IFS officer family, she followed the expected academic track, completed an MBA in HR, and worked in corporate for two years. But her heart stayed with makeup.

Choosing makeup as a full-time career was not considered “serious” when she started. People questioned the decision, doubted the stability, and treated it like a phase. MJ still took the leap, left corporate, and committed fully. The early years came with rejections, financial pressure, and the reality of running a service business from scratch. Not just makeup, but client handling, marketing, sales, social content, product sourcing, and building trust one bride at a time. Learn more about MJ Shekhar

Vibhu Vaibhava – The Force Behind

As the studio grew, Vibhu joined as Co-founder and Business Head, bringing systems and strategy to scale the experience. Vibhu has been an inspiration and a true gentleman who understands women and genuinely wants them to grow. He focuses on the parts that most people never see, but every bride feels: clear communication, calm coordination, and a process that respects timelines and reduces chaos on the wedding morning. From early call-time planning and logistics to ensuring every touchpoint feels premium, he helps the team deliver consistency at scale while keeping the experience personal and warm. Together, we built MJ Gorgeous Makeup Studio into a premium bridal makeup brand in Bangalore, trusted for long-wear comfort, clean finishes, and timeline discipline. We work with South Indian, North Indian, and fusion brides across wedding traditions, and we also take destination weddings with advance planning.

A chapter we’re proud of, and why we evolved

MJG also ran a makeup academy during a high-growth phase, built to help women skill up and become financially independent. Over time, we realised our strongest edge was not scale through training. It was a premium customer experience, bridal planning discipline, and consistent results that depended on MJ’s direct involvement. In 2024, we made the call to pause the academy when it was doing well, and double down on what clients value most: calm timelines, high hygiene standards, and premium bridal makeup that stays balanced in real life and photographs

MJ is terrific at what she does. I changed my makeup artist halfway through the wedding function because of how well she did the bridal makeup. Definetly recommended for anyone wanting to get professional makeup done at a good price.

She did my makeup for all the wedding functions. Starting with the mehendi, she gave me such a good look that my dad says that’s his favourite look, and I looked like I didn’t wear any makeup at all. For the haldi she created such a fun look because I wanted to dress like a Marathi bride, but everyone complimented me saying I look like Radharani. For the sangeet, my husband said I looked like a doll, and I still can’t believe that my hair lasted through all 15 dances, that’s how good it was. For my wedding, she made me look like an actual goddess, everyone complimented me saying the same. My husband was rendered speechless by the look she created. And for the reception, she made me look like one of those 80s movie actress. Overall I loved all the looks. Would 100/10 recommend her to everyone I know. She’s very accommodating and professional. And she’s so calm during the makeup that you feel relaxed in all the pre wedding chaos. Has to be the best wedding related decision I’ve made.

I knew MJ was the make up artist for me the first time we connected over a call. Her passion, profound skincare knowledge and professionalism was evident. My make up was natural and radiant, exactly how I wanted it! And stayed perfect through hours of celebrations, dancing and photos. Her team took care of my mom, sister and bridesmaids with the same attention. Highly recommend!

If I had to summarise my experience in one sentence, I’d say MJ and team didn’t make it onto my stress list on my big day. And that’s saying something! What fun it was to get dolled up, yap throughout, and laugh plenty. I sat there knowing I was in great hands, with someone who listened to all my preferences, provided expert recommendations and brought my vision to life. The groom’s look was quite amazing too! I love that we looked the best versions of ourselves, thanks to your skilled handiwork. It was wonderful meeting you, MJ and team! Thank you for making getting ready such a lovely part of our big day. ✨🎀

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with MJ as makeup artist for my wedding. She is extremely professional, talented, and pays great attention to detail. The makeup was done beautifully and looked elegant and flawless throughout the occasion. What I especially appreciated was her focus on hygiene and cleanliness, along with the way she made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the process. She was patient, warm, and truly understood the look I wanted. Choosing MJ was undoubtedly one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. I’m extremely happy with the final look and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and talented makeup artist! ❤️✨

Wonderful experience at MJ's. I finished the 2 day self grooming workshop and I feel like I made the right decision to come here. MJ is very knowledgeable and was able to give personalized recommendations to us. She even welcomed us to get our own products and helped us learn how to use the products correctly. She is extremely sweet and made us feel comfortable and confident. The studio is fantastic and we'll maintained. I loved the sessions and I'm really excited to try and experiment on my own. Akash who also helped us was great and gave me a lot of useful tips. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun grooming workshop which doesn't feel like a chore!💖

Just finished my 2-day makeup course at MJ Gorgeous Makeup Studio and I absolutely loved it! It was honestly so much fun, and I learned so much. The first day was a no-makeup makeup look, which was my favourite, and the next day we did full glam. I’ve never tried such a bold look on myself before, but I felt SO pretty and confident! She’s super sweet, friendly and makes you feel really comfortable. I loved how she explained everything from skincare and undertones to choosing the right shades and each step of the makeup. The batch size is also small, so it feels much more personalised and interactive, and you get individual attention. If you want to learn makeup as a hobby, look good, or simply feel more confident in your own skin, she’s definitely the one! ❤️❤️❤️

Bridal makeup is not just about products. It’s planning, lighting awareness, skin behaviour, and timelines. Our brides book us when they want:

  • A refined base that holds up through sweat, rituals, hugs, and close-ups

About MJ Shekhar | MJ Gorgeous Makeup Studio Bangalore 4

Our signature approach

We keep things structured so you get a premium result without last-minute drama.

1) Consultation first
We understand your functions, call time, outfits, jewellery, and the kind of finish you like.

2) Trial-led clarity
If a trial is part of your booking, we use it to lock the base, undertone, eye style, and comfort level so the wedding day stays smooth.

3) Skin-like finish, not heavy layers
We build coverage strategically, not thickly. The makeup should read elegant, not obvious.

4) Timeline discipline on the wedding day
We work backwards from your ready time and keep a buffer for real-life wedding interruptions.
