I have been doing makeup for 15 years, and what started as a passion quickly became my calling. I began my journey as a makeup artist in Indian films, fell in love with bridal beauty, and went on to train professionally in bridal and HD makeup. More than 500 brides later, I still love Asian, fusion and Western weddings alike. Today I work with brides, bridal parties and families across the Bay Area and California — from intimate ceremonies to multi-day celebrations like the engagement, sangeet, wedding and reception.
I believe makeup should enhance you, not hide you. My signature is soft glam: luminous skin, beautifully defined eyes and a finish that looks flawless in person and on camera. Every look is built to last from the first photo to the final dance. The same care goes into everything else I offer, from microblading / permanent eyebrows and tiny tattoos to facials and waxing: thoughtful, detailed work that still feels like you.
Being part of someone's big day, or simply their next beauty appointment, is a privilege I never take lightly. There is nothing I love more than the moment a bride sees herself in the mirror and simply smiles. Outside of makeup, you will find me with a cup of chai, Bollywood music playing and time spent with my family. I can't wait to meet you and be a part of your story.
With love, Meena
“She is super patient and communicative. She hears you out and listens to what you want while also throwing in her personal knowledge and keeps it real. She wants you to look your best, and I definitely looked the best I ever have at my wedding!!”
“From the very first interaction, to our makeup trial, to the wedding morning and even after, Meena was friendly, flexible, and clearly very knowledgeable about her craft. … she made my bridesmaids, mom, and I look and feel our absolute best (not even to mention that our makeup stayed on the ENTIRE night through tears, sweat, and lots of dancing!)”
“Meena was fantastic. This was my first time ever experiencing tattooing of any kind. She was very kind, patient and professional. I will definitely be returning whenever necessary while referring everyone I know to come and get their eyebrows done at Beauty By Meena.”
