Pricing
How Much Will
Bridal Makeup
Cost in Bangalore?
Most bridal makeup in this city is quoted privately, one bride at a time. We publish ours instead. Flat prices, so you know where you stand before you speak to anyone.
Wedding
Muhurtham
₹30,000
Reception
₹27,000
Sangeet
₹25,000
Engagement
₹22,500
Haldi
Mehendi
₹18,000
Bridal
Trial
₹3,000
Every price includes makeup, hairstyling and saree or lehenga draping. HD and airbrush cost the same, chosen for your skin rather than your budget. There is no additional charge if your muhurtham calls for a 4 AM start. Travel is the only thing charged on top, at actual cost. Family, groom and outstation charges are all listed on our full bridal makeup price list.
You have probably been quoted 12,000 by one artist and 60,000 by another for the same morning, with nothing in between to explain the gap. What actually separates them is time, experience under pressure, what is bundled into the number, and who turns up on the day. A low quote that excludes hair and draping is not a low quote. At MJ Gorgeous, MJ Shekhar works on the bride herself. That is the single biggest reason our pricing sits where it does.

Cultural Expertise
Every Tradition.
Every Ritual.
Every Bride.
MJ Shekhar has personally worked across every major Indian wedding tradition. Cultural awareness is not a courtesy — it is built into how every look is planned, from the first consultation to the last ritual.
South Indian Weddings
Tamil, Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil Brahmin ceremonies. Muhurtham makeup built for early morning daylight, silk sarees, and rituals that demand long wear from dawn to dusk.
North Indian Weddings
Punjabi, Marwari, and Sindhi celebrations. Rich lehenga palettes, multi-day functions, stage-lit receptions, and the high energy of a North Indian baraat.
Muslim Brides
Nikah and post-nikah events — elegant, modest, long-wear through extended functions. We understand coverage preferences and the quiet dignity every Muslim bride deserves.
Christian Brides
Church ceremonies in natural light demand soft, refined, camera-friendly makeup. Evening receptions allow a richer second look. We plan and execute both seamlessly.
Fusion & Inter-Cultural
Two families, two cultures, one bride. We handle outfit changes, blended aesthetics, and mixed-tradition timelines without losing cohesion across the day.
Destination & NRI Brides
We travel across India and internationally at actual cost, plus a flat Overnight Outstation Charge of ₹5,000 where the wedding requires an overnight stay. NRI brides flying in for Bangalore weddings are among our most regular clients, and every figure is confirmed in writing before booking..

The MJG Difference
Why MJ Brides
Always Have
Peace of Mind.
Weddings are high-pressure productions. Between flashing cameras, long rituals, and the weight of the moment, the artist you choose either adds to the chaos or removes it entirely. Here is exactly what you get when you book MJ Shekhar.
Nerves of Steel on Your Wedding Day
Flashing cameras, rituals running late, family pressure. We have seen everything. An inexperienced artist cracks under this pressure and their anxiety becomes yours. MJ Shekhar does not crack.
Time Management Is Non-Negotiable
We plan every minute around your ready time and first ritual. We do not make our brides late. Anxiety-free wedding makeup is not a tagline. It is something we deliver every single time.
Cultural Awareness Built In
From Tamil Brahmin puja timings to color restrictions in Marwari weddings, we understand customs, rituals, and what must never be covered or altered. No surprises on the day.
You Will Look Like You, Elevated
Our natural soft-glam approach means you will not look like a stranger in your own wedding photos. You will look like the best version of yourself, confident, comfortable, and completely at ease.
Premium Products. Zero Compromise.
Every product that touches your skin is internationally certified, sanitized, and chosen specifically for you. No cheap substitutes. No shared product pots. Ever.
One Price, Published and Held
Our prices are on the website, and they include hair and draping. Travel is the only thing charged on top, at actual cost, plus a flat Overnight Outstation Charge of ₹5,000 where the wedding needs an overnight stay. Confirmed in writing before booking.
